Haha yeah, it is! I'll move on the 15th. The girl currently living there is moving in with her boyfriend. I got really lucky by seeing her post in a Facebook group, and the guy who owns the place was so excited about the possibility of having a native English speaker live there to practice his English (which doesn't bother me one bit since that's what I do for a job...) that he canceled the other appointment to look at the place to give it to me!

Today is my "official" weigh day! But yesterday, I decided to just take a peek and I had lost 4 lbs this week! But when I got on the scales this morning, I was only down 2 lbs
I will happily take the 2 lb loss, but was happier with the 4 lb loss! 0 -
Weighed in... **drum roll please!** I lost 16 pounds in the last month! I could do a happy dance!! I celebrated by getting on the treadmill and walking for 2 minutes then running for 45 seconds and did it for 15 minutes! I'm super proud of myself! Now I need water! Be back later!0

Lots of awesome losses today! Gratz to everyone and for those who may not have lost... don't get discouraged. That's what starts a backslide and I refuse to allow my buddies to backslide! (Like there's anything I can do about it... lol) We are all in this together!
@ptkat28: You're a better person than I am! When I peek like that, I take the bigger loss! 0 -

@ptkat28: You're a better person than I am! When I peek like that, I take the bigger loss!Thank you, ladies! It was just what I needed going into this new month.
@ptkat28 Girl, take the 4lbs and RUN with it! That shift is almost definitely water weight and will probably fall right off by morning.
Thanks girls!!! I did count the 4 lbs! Total of 24 lbs lost in 6 weeks

I felt the same way. I felt like I could breathe just a little easier and like my clothes were just a hair looser, but most of all, I felt like I had accomplished something just by sticking with it. That's my number one goal every single week, to eat like I should from at least Monday to Friday. I can tell you with absolute certainty that just by doing that I've seen my numbers go down.

Hi everyone...I'm new to the community posts and this seems like a great place to start. I too would like to lose 100 lbs. After having two kids back to back and no time for myself, I've let myself go...a lot!. I was following MFP a few months ago...religiously in fact, and had lost close to 30 lbs, but sadly, i fell off the wagon and gained 10 back :-(
The good new is, is that i've chosen today to be my starting date...i've decided to climb back into the drivers seat and do what i can to get to where i want to be. Im excited to start this journey again.
I would love your support, encouragement and any added tips or tricks to help me reach my goal. I will offer you the same in return and look forward to making new friends along the way.
Lets do this!!!!

Wow, this thread has been going on for a long time! It definitely helps to have support, especially from unbiased people on here. I've lost 50lbs so far but need to lose this last 30-40lbs to be healthy for trying for a baby.
Does anyone on here have PCOS?0 -

Today was weigh in day for me and I've finally lost 10% of my body weight--that was my first goal! I'm still a long way off from being done, but it sure helps to have a great day to motivate you to journey on!
@Jeanine_Colavecchi , I have PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) and have been battling the symptoms a LONG time!0 -
@melkithall: Gratz on the 10% That's awesome!!!
@ all the new peeps... WELCOME!!! We're happy you're here and feel free to add me if you haven't already!
@helend78: I know it sucks when that happens... I've been there and my guess is that most of us here have also gone through it. What you need to do is remember that you are human and we all slip and slide through this crazy thing called life. I'd like you to do something for me... Go to a mirror and really look at yourself and who you are, not just what you see physically. Then tell yourself that you are worthy of the love and attention you are about to provide yourself. Then smile and say: tomorrow is another day. You can do this!!! HUGS!
Luv you guys!!!0 -
I'm new here and have 140 pounds to lose. I'm in my first week (started May 1) and would love to join this group. Not sure how? 0

Welcome to all the new folks and a HUGE congrats @melkithall !!! That's fantastic! For all of you starting just keep in mind that this is a journey. I've seen a quote in a few places this week that says (I'm paraphrasing here), 'whether you make progress or stand still, time will still pass.' I'm putting it on my inspiration wall because it's something I think we all struggle with. We cheat, slip-up, binge, whatever... and then we beat ourselves up and quit trying. Why? If you didn't do an amazing job cleaning your kitchen today you wouldn't quit cleaning it forever, right? We are surely more important than the tasks we do each and every day or week, and none of us can claim to be 100% at everything every single time. I started this journey with 121lbs to lose, and a month in I'm down 16lbs. Don't ask me why this time is different, but I looked at that scale the other day and FINALLY thought to myself, "You've got this, girl!" 5lbs, 10lbs, or even 1lb... if we do that every single month we'll get where we're going, and as much as we'd love this to be a sprint it is actually a marathon. So put one foot in front of the other and let's head for that goal line! Ok, off my soap box!
Hope everyone had a winning day!0 -
Just wanted to say Hello to all the new people and welcome!
