Hello

Im new on here. I have been reading this post and many others. These boards have encouraged me to stay focus this week. I lost 5lbs and Im ready to continue. I WI today and was down 5 lbs.

Good for you and Welcome! It would also be nice to know how long it has taken people to get where they are. I am not losing the 3 pounds a week they said I would lose. I started 12/27 and am down 24 pounds. Don't get me wrong I am very happy to be down 24 pounds!

Good loss! I was down 6.5 lbs in 6 days, it really helps to keep me motivated! Let us know how your next WI goes!

Helen...how quickly you lose really depends on how much you have to lose and how many other times you've dieted. If you have alot of weight to lose (say over 100lbs) then the weight will melt off quicker. The closer you get to goal, it'll slow down a little bit.

If you've dieted several times in the past, especially recently your body won't react as quickly either because it'll kind of be used to your diet changing.

I've lost 45lbs since Halloween and last time I was OP I lost 90lbs in 9months...but I've got well over 100lbs to lose, so it's gonna come off a bit quicker.

Don't get discouraged. There's no way you won't lose weight if you stick to the plan

I have 100lbs to lose and Im looking forward to my new lifestyle. When I took my photo at MRC, I told them to name my photo "Bringing SEXY Back" and when I reach my goal, they will name photo, "Brought SEXY Back" You just gotta have fun with the whole process. It keeps me motivated!!!! Good Luck with everybody's weigh- in Happy Pounds Losing!!!!!!

I started OP on 1/2/10 and I am down 33 lbs as of today.

Started the program on 1/15/10. I'm down 20 pounds and 24 inches...

Started 10/26/09 down 41 lbs. and 54 inches..

Don't forget your inches girls. Sometimes when the scale isn't moving, you are losing inches. I had a tough February by the scale but lost a bunch in inches..

Good Luck!!

I agree MEEZOOGIRL, my scale barely moved but the inches must have been dropping like crazy. I am at size 12 and loving it, compliments all over the place. I'm working on the fat % and BMI but otherwise I am there and it feels awesome. I HAD to break down and go shopping. I am estactic!!!
