    You have to celebrate each pound lost!

    Just think about it though. If you continue to lose 2 pounds a week, you will lose 8 pounds a month!!! That's huge!! Just think how much better you will feel with that much weight loss! :drinker:

    Another friend told me too when i was getting discouraged is that it didn't take you 1 month to gain that weight. Boy I wish I would have listened back then!

    And isn't it much better that you lost that weight than to put that weight on?? I am done with my first week too and it's only going to get better!

    CELEBRATE WOMAN, YOU JUST LOST WEIGHT!!!!

    If you expect too much, you will invariably be disappointed. Lower your expectations, rearrange your goals so that you can meet them, or the constant disappointment will sabotage your effort.
    Slow and steady wins the race.

    thank you all this is the difference between my other dieting attemts the support from all of you i need that thats going to be the difference this time around i can feel it.

    ONAMISSION thank you yes we can do this. I am aiming for 60 pounds give or take. see the thing is i never used to weigh myself its more about how i look and how my clothing fits. I want to look and feel healthy (flat stomache toned arms etc) but im weighing myself this time to keep track of my loss i think if i see it in numbers then that also will make the difference.

    Russia my goal a week is small its one two pounds so i met my goal but im human when u work so hard excercising and watching what is put in your mouth you know you hope for a surprise slow and steady you are right BE THE TURTLE :bigsmile:
