30 days

This is my 30th day on MFP and I have lost 20 pounds! I feel proud of myself and the people here have helped me so much! I don't usually post but I read most all the posts (lurker) and it helps me a lot to stay on track. I have a long ways to go still but headed on the right track to a healthier me! Thank you to everyone here!

20lbs in a month sounds pretty extreme! Make sure you're at least coming close to your goals.

@paulbearss As you get closer to your goal the weight loss will slow down. Congrats on your weight loss! Keep up the good work!

Yes I think a lot of that was water weight, and I am around 120 pounds overweight. I was always eating terribly to much now I am trying to eat less or at least reasonably. I have realized I can eat way less and still feel full. I just have to now start weighing foods and eat healthier not just less.

Thank you very much and I am really going to try to do this for a lifestyle change like many here say to do so when it slows down I will remember what you said.

Keep it up even as the weight loss slows over the next couple of months. You got this.
