I weighed myself again today and lost another 1lb (yea, it was water weight).
I'm bragging about it here because after 2+months of daily tracking, I've now moved from Class 2 Obesity to Class 1 Obesity. When I started this journey, I was knocking on the door of Class 3 Obesity.
I've been obese for quite a few years now and had really given up on being a healthy weight. Now I'm targeting August to hit the 'Overweight' BMI category.

As of yesterday, I have lost 20 pounds!! I'm 1/6 of the way to my goal weight, and it's only been a month and a half!
I know my weight loss will slow down, and plateau sometimes, but I can't believe I've come this far so quickly. I can't really tell a difference in how I look, but I am noticing some of my clothes fitting more loosely.
Okay, 20 down, 100 to go!!8 -
I am 2 lbs shy of having lost 10% of my starting weight; I hope that I'll hit that goal this weekend - just in time for my birthday Unfortunately, my mother is planning to make a cake - I'll going to have to figure out how to head her off at the pass on that one!5

Total loss of 21 lbs (7.36%) since Jan 16. Now I need to start adding measurements since I can feel it in my clothing. Those numbers should help with the motivation factor!!6

I started a 'change your BMI classification' in the Challenges subforum, if anyone wants to set that goal and share it.

8 weeks in and down 26 pounds. Pretty proud of my accomplishment so far. It is getting easier as the weeks go by to stay on track. Logging my food and reading all the posts here helps so much. Thanks guys and gals!

An proud you should be - great job!!!!! The first couple weeks were tough for me until I started seeing results now it's a little easier to stay on track.2 -
Thank you I got a new pair of shoes as my 60lb milestone reward. I like to focus on non-food related rewards as I cross off each milestone. 9lbs away from the next one, but can't decide between a mini Sephora spree or more shoes!4 -
As of this morning I have lost over 25 pounds!! 25.4, to be exact, and I am SO HAPPY with myself! I feel like dancing!9

Today I smashed through my first baby goal - I wanted to be 235 lbs when I left for London on April 16th, and today, 10 days early, I hit 234!4

Do you have a FitBit? I understand most visitors do loads of walking and you might as well get credit for the work, which makes some room for properly enjoying your trip.1 -
I do! I'm a Blaze owner. My personal trainer is really pushing for me to do a Crossfit class too while I'm away (it's only a week though!) but I think I'll do some bodyweight exercises and maybe a run or two while I'm there, although since I work a desk job the walking alone should be enough to keep me near maintenance.3

Today I weighed in at 275. It isn't one of my milestones but its 32 lbs lost since Jan 9, almost 1/3 of what I am going for! So...I'm 1/3 of the way there!

Last 3 days my weigh came in as 229.8, 229.7, and 229.7
Not earth shattering, but why does it feel sooo amazing when that number in the tens place goes Down?4 -
Those of you who are my MFP friends already know this, but as of this morning I have lost over 30 pounds!! I think I'm going to be able to hit my first milestone of 250 within about a week!
I am on top of the world today.8 -
congratulations to you, bsgraham10 and thewindandthework! great job to you both!
and it may not be earth shattering, but, dawnz75 - no matter how long it takes, that scale is going in the right direction, so you have every right to feel amazed!0 -
I'm at 250.8 this morning. I'm so close I can taste it.4

This week it totals to a nice even loss
40 pounds = a 5-gallon bottle of water or an average human leg5 -
omg, that's a crazy comparison! Congrats!0
