I have lost 5 pounds this week! I started at 237lbs and I weighed myself for the first time today since really getting into this on Monday and I now weigh 232lbs! I know thats a bit much to lose in one week but I've made big changes so I'm okay with it!

Most of my inspiration/motivation came from this website so thank you!

congrats! It took me 2 months to lose 5 lbs but once I did I became a lot more motivated. Good luck and keep on going

Contrats! Doesn't that feel awesome?

Thank you!!

awesome job!!

Congrats! The first week, it's okay if you lose a lot of weight. I lost pretty much 10 lbs my first week....it's generally more drastic if you're making bigger changes in your life. I went from eating probably about 6000 calories a day to a normal amount, AND i started exercising...so I lost a lot in the beginning. It really just depends on your body...but you're right, 5lbs so far is nothing to worry about. You're not losing it too fast.

The first 5 lbs feels great, the first 10 feels amazing...and it just keeps getting better from there. Just keep it up!

Ducky, JahJah, and Divine thank you all for your words! I can't wait to get as far as you've all gotten :-)

Great work Britt7. One thing I know for sure is Hard Work Pays Off....

Work harder and there will be lots more pounds coming off you....

Congrats! I know it feels awesome. You CAN do this! Good luck!
