A one-week MFP veteran

Just joined a week ago and lost .6 pounds in the first couple days. I'm totally motivated and can't wait to lose more. I'm scared to weigh in tonight at the Y but want to keep track of my progress. Hopefully I am pleasantly surprised!

Like every mom, I put everyone before me. I'm slowly learning how to work myself into the mix but it can be very stressful trying to find "extra" time. Just love that this site is positive and motivating! Can't wait to meet more motivated people no matter where they are on their journey.

Good for you!

Those little achievements add up ! Since I started my quest in early August, I've lost 10 lbs (even though my ticker only says 5 - I didn't sign up here right away.) things have gone up and down a bit, but those 10 are still off

Much success to you :bigsmile:

If you're weighing in the evenings at the gym, be prepared for a bit of fluctuation. It's good to weigh yourself at the same time of day, but I find at the end of the day your weight can fluctuate a lot, based on how much food/water is in your belly (ie, if you just had dinner, you may be a pound up - even if you had a few big glasses of water, you may be a pound or two up!) Especially if you're wearing gym clothes/shoes.

So even if the scale doesn't show exactly what you want to see, don't be discouraged! It doesn't mean you're not losing weight - it could just be masked by other factors. Glad to hear that you are taking care of yourself!
