Wow, I'm so excited to have found this site!
This is my first serious attempt at losing this weight that I have managed to slowly put on in the past 10 years. Down 2lbs as of today. I know it's only 2lbs but it's a pretty big 2 lbs to me. )

Question for you that have lost weight.
I am a big time Dr Pepper drinker. I cut the Dr P out completely. I am drinking a lot of green tea/lemonade from Starbucks but with only half the sweetner. I've cut out all junk food as well. I was expecting a bigger weight loss in the first 10 days rather than 2 measly pounds. I have little patience ). Do you think I should be stricter? I've pretty much cut out bread as well...only a couple of times have I had it. Maybe I shouldn't be drinking so much of the tea/lemonade? Still too much sugar?

Your thoughts would be appreciated!

Another Texas chick here. I am originally from Galveston but live in Fort Worth now.
Congrats! on the 2 lbs.
You most likely will need to cut out the starbucks. I'm not sure what your diet (or around here it's called WOE-way of eating) is.
You'll find lot's of support and encouragement here.
Find the support group that best suits you and your WOE and post often
Best of luck on your weight loss journey.

PS: We're glad you find us too
