WOW! 8 lbs. gone! I couldn't believe it this morning when I weighed myself. I've been working very hard to lose weight although this is my first week. It really encouraged me to keep it up because I know I CAN lose weight. All I've been doing is eating less and exercising more. Oh and staying POSITIVE. This site has been a huge help too. I just hope I can stay positive and keep losing.

Congrats! Great attitude, too. It's always encouraging to see those numbers on the scale dropping. Keep going!!

Congratulations ... that's a marvellous start!

Congrats....

Congrats! How long did it take to lose the 8lb! Even a little bit of change helps. I just started a few days ago and I'm down 2lb already!

Woohoo! Congrats on your excellent start!

You hit the nail on the head: Eat less, move more and stay positive/motivated. Your mindset makes you or breaks you.
