I know it is not much but I have lost my first 5 pounds. :smooched: This is the motivation I needed to keep going. I hope to keep the success going. I could use any advise anyone has.

    CONGRATS ON YOUR FIRST 5 lb.

    Whatever you're doing is obviously working. My only advice is do not get frustrated. Our weight will fluctuate and it may take just a little bit longer to lose the next five. But stick with you because like you said in your profile - you do have the power within you. You're doing great!

    Congratulations:flowerforyou: on losing your first 5 lbs, that is really good motivation to keep on with your weight loss/healthy journey:heart: .


    Inside me lives a skinny woman :noway: crying to get out. But I can usually shut the ***** :devil: up with cookies.

    Way to go!!!
    My advice (as I'm still learning it myself) is to not get discouraged if you don't see as high a loss as you hoped for. Five pounds is awesome! Remember that everyone is different and gaines and looses differently. I've been at this for about 4 months and have only lost 12 pounds. I have to remind myself that it's not "only" 12 pounds, it's getting my health and self confidence back!!
    Good luck to you and keep it up!!! :flowerforyou:

    Keep plugging along! Five pounds is great! I bet you can feel it in your clothes, too. As for motivation...5 more pounds and for sure you'll drop a whole pant size!

    Keep up the great work!
