Once I reach my goal my next goal is 130. Its very hard as of june I found out I have a good size stress fracture in my lower leg. Its pretty painful. I need to be in a boot and crutches. BUT I havnt been ive been running on the treadmill 4 days a week. Im taking a break from running friday,sat and sun. I love to run and and my leg is ruining it for me. Im just excited about losing weight already and looking for some weight loss buddies

Congrats on losing 5 lbs. I hop e I can say the same in a week. I weigh 185 lbs, My goal weight is 142. I just started my diet 4 days ago. It is going great so far. Did you run much to lose the 5 lbs?

Congrats on your weight loss journey. THats alot of weight for one week whats the secret??? I started at 230 and I am down to 205! I have been at it for about 3 months now. Its weird because my clothes are so loose and the scale tells a diffrent story every weeks its up are down. I may have to start counting dress and pants sizes instead of the pesky scale.
