First Goal Reached
 

Hey everyone!
I think I mentioned this in my last post, but I weigh myself once a month (the 3rd), because I strarted January third 2007, but anyway the first month I lost 15 pounds and this month I didn't do quite as well only loosing 6 pounds this month, but my first goal was the loose 20 pounds, so I am here to celebrate that I reached my first goal of loosing 20! I am excited. I know I have a really long road ahead still, but I am just glad that I have at least now begun. :)

Congratulations!!! 20 pounds is an awesome amount and do not discount those extra 6, 26 pounds is OUTSTANDING!

You sound a little bit discouraged.... Don't be. Please keep in mind that the first like 5 lbs. or more lost is water weight. So, in all actuality, you did as well this month as you did last month (fat wise)... This happens to me every time I start a diet... It's normal to lose more weight at first because of retained water, especially if you have your monthly cycle in there. We tend to lose water weight at that time. I know I do anyway.

Well, good luck... Also remember, it's not healthy to lose weight too fast. You're doing fine. Keep up the good work! :cheer:

WOW!

That's amazing, especially for only 3 months. Good for you.

thanks so much for the support!

Hi Elizabeth!

That's GREAT news!:carrot:

I like to think of every pound lost as 3500 calories of fat ...G-O-N-E! Now that you've lost 20 pounds you have lost 70,000 calories of fat! How's THAT for some great numbers to be proud of?!!!!

Actually you lost it in TWO months! Wow! Excellent! ;) Congrats on that!

YAY! :carrot:

Hey, I hope you aren't being down on yourself, because that is great weightloss right there! Don't act like 6 lbs in a month isn't great either, because it is! That's more than a pound a week, which means you're doing awesome!

Wishing you continuing success,
Lindsey

Yeah to you...This battle is won by reaching one small goal at a time. Congrats!
