As of this morning, two weeks into my mfp logging, I've lost my first 5 pounds!! Not a big deal to most I know but in the past two years I've never stuck with anything long enough to lose more than 2 or 3 pounds. First time in my life I've ever teared up on the scale for a good reason!!

Great work! May this be the start of many more to come.0

That is so me! I need to do what you did. I do love love MFP. It is really fun. I have it synced with my Fitbit so it gives me extra calories when I exercise0

Welcome and well done! :-)0

Well done, great start0

Thanks everyone!0

Good job!0

Congrats on your first of many small and large victories!0

Good for you! The first step is the most important and it will reward you along your journey. I started in Jan this year and I'm down 37 lbs. Surround yourself with positive people, plan your meals ahead of time & keep track of all calories. You will amaze yourself! I have far to go (about 70 more) but I'm only looking at 5 lbs at a time. Remember you are not alone. Keep yourself excited about this journey0

Thanks everyone! I kind of went off the tracks a little with my calories and logging this weekend, it was my birthday. But back on track today!0

5 lbs is a big deal. At least it means you're doing it right0

Keep up the good work!!0

Great! Can't wait to hit that mile stone myself.0

Congratulations. You don't have to be exceptional or do anything exceptional for this to work. You have already proved you are capable of losing weight. Just have a plan. Good luck.0
