So this whole thing started for me a month ago, and I weighed in once a week. Two weeks ago I had lost 4 lbs! But I decided for the holidays I would not weigh in as much because knowing me, I would either gain or maintain, so there was no point.

Well today (two weeks later) I gave in, and had to weigh myself... I was dreading it by the way!
I have lost ANOTHER 4 lbs!!! :noway:

So 8 lbs lost in one month :smile:

I just want to thank everyone for all of the helpful information and support! This site really is amazing!
I am looking forward to making this lifestyle change, and it's great being able to do it with other people going through the same things! :flowerforyou:

    Congrats to you! Excellent job. :flowerforyou:

    That is the first step to truly making this a lifestyle change. You weren't being super careful but something inside you kept yourself under control. That means your entire way of thinking about things is changing and will soon become second nature.

    It's also proof that you don't need to stress either! :wink:

    I think you are right! :smile: I have been out with friends a lot lately, and I have been to several holiday parties, but something has been in the back of my mind the whole time, keeping my eating habits under control :wink: I have learned that you don't need to starve to lose weight, and that eating healthy isn't all vegetables or tasteless foods, it's about portions, and finding foods that are good for you, but that you can still enjoy! This site has really taught me so much in such a short amount of time!

    Thanks everyone for the Congrats :flowerforyou: :drinker:

    Way to go! :drinker: :flowerforyou:

    I feel exactly as you do (and lots of others) about this site. The only downfall in it is that I didn't find it sooner. This past Saturday night was my holiday party for work. If not for this site, I'd have overloaded my plate and been miserable and then being miserable would have led to more emotional, binge eating. Not any more!!!!!! :bigsmile:
