Went to the doctor on 6/23 and weighed in at 253. Today I finally got the courage to bring the scale upstairs and weigh myself. Today I weigh 247.4 lbs! I can't tell you how thrilled I am. My sons are so proud of me!

I also figured out how to set up my own personal weight tracker--that's cool! Although I see that I need more posts before I can attach it.

Congratulations! That is great!

What a great start! You must be so proud!

Thank you. Every encouraging and kind word means so much to me right now.

By the way, I love your quote. It's so true!

CONGRATULATIONS!!! 6LB IS a wonderful achievement!!

Thanks again for all the kind and encouraging words!

Congratulations! What a great motivator that is!!!

Good for you! now you know you CAN do it. And you will absolutely love your ticker once you can post it. I love mine, I look forward to changing it for every single pound I lose, its fun!

I remember losing 6lbs my second week. I started a thread, too.

Isn't it fabulous?!

Hooray!

Woo-hoo! Great job there.
