I just joined the website a few minutes ago, and I admit that I am finding the amount of information a bit overwhelming. I am hoping that this is a good place to start. Reading everyone's messages about dropping pounds (and fractions of pounds) is very inspiring. Congratulations! Any suggestions about where to begin?? Thanks in advance.
LWM! Personally, I really like the threads right here on the 100lb club. One of my favorites is the NSV thread. That is a great thread for motivation and encouragement. Looking forward to getting to know you.
ok this is my first weigh in i hope im doing this right.. so im now 219 i lost 21lbs!! this is my first week losing so im really happy. i had to get on the scale like 3 days in a row to make sure it was right. and my clothes fit soo much better im so happy. and congrats to everyone who lost way to go
Wow, some great losses this week! Lisa, is that seriously a 21-pound loss in one week? My goodness! In my first week, I lost 11, which shocked me to death.
Sheila, you're almost at 100 pounds lost -- how wonderful!
Robin, 120 pounds!!!! Just phenomenal.
I had a bit of a miracle this week. I didn't lose or gain, even after being off plan so much last week. My scale fluctuated all the way up to 198 at one point, but when I did the official weigh-in this morning it was back down to 192!! Yay!! I really didn't want to change my ticker in the wrong direction, and now I don't have to!
Sheila - you are so close!! I can't wait until you get there.
Robin - Congrats. I was just looking at how much you've lost and I was thinking "wow, I can't wait until I can say I've lost 120 lbs, it seems far away". Then I realized that its not
I lost 2 lbs this week and its been a wacky week. TOM started way early, I'm guessing from the recent weight loss, it kicked something in my hormones. Hopefully it won't last 2 weeks
Congrats on the great losses this week! I'd like to start posting my weekly losses here. I lost 1 pound last week - now at 244. Looking for a larger # next week since I'm being good through this TOM.
lisavs - Am I reading that right? You lost 21 lbs in one week? I hope not but welcome anyways!
I lost 3 lbs this week! YAY!
yea lol is that bad? i also weighed my self today and im down to 213 so im down 7 more lbs. i think i have high matobolizm (spelling?) im sure its water weight. i havent even cut back that much just subway low fat 6in for lunch 6 in for dinner and i walk 2 miles a day.
lisa - 21 pounds last week and already another 7 pounds. I hate to be a Debbie Downer, but are you sure the scale is okay? That's a LOT of weight to lose that quick. Now, if you'd lost 10 pounds the first week, I'd say that's totally normal. As for having a high metabolism - if it's so high, how did you gain the weight in the first place? Were you eating super high in calories? Just trying to figure it out?
Lisa - It just seemed like a lot of weight to me to lose...my highest weight was 280 when I started WW and my first week I lost 8 lbs, I thought that was A LOT. Have you weighed yourself anywhere else? You're probably right it's probably a lot of water weight, but still, that's a lot of water. Sorry didn't want to be a downer on you either!

Anyway, yea for the 1.5!
