Could use friends to mutually motivate!

Hi! It's my first day on here so this is a whole new world really. I'm looking to lose a significant amount of weight (100+) and began this on Monday for a biggest loser contest at my job. Since then I've been going to the gym and making great food choices and I've lost 7 lbs in 5 days! Just looking to have friends to talk to when I'm struggling for motivation and I can help motivate too! There are few people in my life to help encourage and push me and that's really helpful for better future results. Also I'm super bummed I can't somehow show I've lost the 7 lbs because I just joined today and I feel like it sort of takes away my small accomplishment that's encouraging.. Any ideas on how to include this somehow?

Looking forward to finding some encouraging friends and interactions!

Well you are off to a great start Amanda. You bite it, you write it. You jog it, you log it. Drink water, sleep 8 hours, and smile alot. Remember, Losing weight isn't the key to happiness, happiness is the key to losing weight. :-)
