Thank You
 

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone on this website :) . I am fairly new to this site and have'nt really done alot of posting but I sure have done alot of reading. I have dieted many times over the years and never make it much past 1 week but this time is different.

I have been sereiosly counting calories and eating healthy (with 1 or 2 slip ups) for over three weeks now. I have only lost 3 lbs. but it is the same 3 lbs. I have lost and gained a hundred times. The difference is that I have kept that 3 lbs. off now for 2 weeks in a row. I think I just might be able to lose more than 3 lbs. this time

Although I haven't been excersising :o , I actually think I might start next week. I tend to take baby steps when it comes to changes, and I figured that next week will be 1 month of dieting and maybe I need to step it up a little :carrot: .

I think everone's support has been the biggest difference this time. I read your posts and realize that we all seem to go through the same highlights and lowlights, and we're all in this thing together.

Anyway, I just wanted to give you all "Kudos" for all your efforts in you own weight loss journeys as well as all the support you give everyone else. :bravo:

Thank you all very much!

Hi Abbyin! Welcome! I'm kind of new myself... been here for a few months. Good for you for trying again. Keeping those 3 lbs off for 2 weeks is awesome! Keep going! :cheer:

That's a pound a week, which is great. And you mentioned you've kept it off this time, which is even better :)

Just keep doing what you're doing, it will come off. 1-2 pounds a week is the safer and healthier way to lose.

I'm a calorie-counter too and we have a special place we like to post, maybe you'd want to come over and check out some of the threads and get more ideas on calorie-counting :)

They say anything you do for 30 days becomes a habbit, so your new healthy eating is more of a habbit now and less of a temporary diet :) Big Kudos to you!!

Keep going strong - you'll get there in no time at all :)

Thanks guys for your support. I do feel like this might be becoming a habit as my DH is working tonight so I was on my own for dinner. I considered going to get some fast food :rollpin: (the old me would have) but I didn't. I thought about all the fast food and decided that it had way to much grease, calories and fat. I fixed my self some tuna salad and I was just fine. My fitday looked pretty good today also. I think I might be on the right track!

Sassy887, you have a great trip to Vegas. I went there last year around this time for my daughters wedding. We had a blast! :D
