Month 1: 12 lb - Small steps are success too.

SirZee

First month results 12 lb down, currently in first place in SHED competition at workplace wellness center

63 to go.

I post this because (remarkably!) it tends to have a good effect on me to read success stories of others. I have always been a lone wolf when it comes to working out and focusing myself, and figured the group-dynamics benefit to be minimal, however I find myself checking out success stories day after day here on MFP forums. I've noticed that its mostly people with very large weight loss, so I thought perhaps one thing we do is not recognize/take pride in small step progresses. So here is mine, first month loss 12 lb, and thats 50% over my goal (2lb / week).

Post yours and feel good about it
