    Hey there Lisa, congrats on your weight loss! I cannot wait until I can say that I have lost 21 pounds! YOU GO GIRL!! I'm new to the MFP community - just signed up tonight and am looking forward to joining up with others on this journey. Would love to keep up with you and perhaps we can help each other :-).

    Lisa... 21 lbs is alot! As the weight comes off, be sure to mark the little victories. The day I discovered my collar bones again (after an absense of far too long) was and exciting one. I had to buy new underwear, because they were too big. These are the types of milestones that are important. It's not about the numbers on a scale... it's how you feel and the ability to do more. And if you need a graphic example of what you have lost... go to the grocery store (don't pick a high traffic time), and put 21 lbs of butter into a shopping cart... or pile it up in a pyramid, take a picture... that is how much weight you have lost, not such a little thing at all!

    Keep up the great work, it takes time, and work on the exercise... it will all happen. Feel free to add me as a friend.

    Hi Lisa.....Congratulations! 21 pounds is quite an accomplishment! I like to relate it to something......Like you lost 21 boxes of butter or 4 five pound bags of dog food. That way you can visualize just how much weight has come off of your body. Keep up the good work. We are all here to support each other. Good luck and I'm here when you need me. :-)

    Lois :bigsmile:

    Hi Lisa, 21lbs is great. I cant wait till I loose that much. I sent you a request, Ive been here alittle over a week and still have no support buddies and would really love some. But your the first I asked so thats my fault.

    My doctor who is working on a weightloss program with a group of us told me today that some start out slow loosing lbs can rapidly start loosing weight later. Some start out loosing fast then slow down. I think your doing really good. Since last monday she told me I lost half a 1/2 lbs., I think she was just being nice. :flowerforyou :flowerforyou:

    Hey Lisa! Just like another poster said-- 21 lbs is still 21 lbs. But I can also see where you are coming from, and I feel the same way...I've been here quite a while and I'm definitely feeling like I need more support. I'm sending you a request.
