So this is a teeny-tiny mini-goal but I am really proud! So basically I decided I needed to get this 30lbs of left-over pregnancy weight and plus another 50+ lbs I should have lost before I got pregnant! I thought though that I was "too far gone" and just happened to stumble upon this forum and saw how amazing everyone on here is doing and it gave me hope! So 10 days ago I started to watch my calories (though I can't go as low as I want to because I'm still nursing)... Basically with my past history with dieting has always lasted less than a week and my husband looked at me and told me that this would be the same... Someone challenging me was probably the best thing for me! Because here I am at day TEN and still going strong and feeling great! And I did my first weigh in today and I've lost 2lbs!!! I'm hoping to keep up this life-style change (not diet ) for a long, long time

Thanks for all of your encouragement by just posting and giving others hope!

Congrats on your 2lb loss! Keep up the great work! xoxo

Way to go on the 2 lb loss!!! You will do great. This is a great place and you will gain tons of encouragement here. I know I have.

Well done! Keep it up!

Great job!

Way to go!

You can do it. Hang in there.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step...and you've made more than one step. Wonderful!

a similar thing happened to me... I was giving up and somehow found this forum... I hope to be like you soon!

Heh... I am like you -- if someone doubts I can do something, I am hot to prove them wrong! BTW, is there anyone who doesn't think I can't reach goal?

Congrats on your loss and your ten day streak! Remember that if you do make a mistake (we all do) the most important thing is to get back on plan!

Keep reading and posting -- it really helps!

Congrats!!
