I started my diet Monday. Im counting calories and eat more fruits and veggies. So far Ive lost 5 pounds Im pretty excited. I started monday at 192 and my goal is 160 today Im 187. 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

Don't strain your leg!!! But this is great, you sound super inspired. Congrats!

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 !! the first 5 lbs are always a huge motivation boost, Just wait until you reach your next goal, the motivation will grow even bigger

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.
