hi I've heard great things about this app and have logged in for 5 days in a row now but still not lost even a pound even though I've stuck to it....feeling a bit deflated, am I being too impatient or should I have lost by now x

Hi in the first week you may not have lost weight but you may have lost an inch on the waist
If you exercise and stick to it you will definitely be lighter by the end of week 2

Ah brilliant thank you, I'm definitely sticking to it

Hang in there. Sometimes it takes a few days to get going. Don't get discouraged. You can do it!

I'm hypothyroid and lost >50 lbs since I discovered MFP last year. Just be patient and keep sticking to your plan.

Click on a member's name or pic to go to their profile. In the app, click the blue outline with a +. On the web, click the "Add As Friend" button.

FYI, some people won't accept a blank friend request—so add a little note.

Exercise is a must if you want to lose inches/fat and maintain your new sexy body for years to come. Remember that this is a lifestyle change. New habits - hello; bad habits - goodbye forever!!! It will challenge your patience, but you will see results. Good Luck
