Small Miracle, Big Change!

I probably don't have any right to post my "mini success" because everyone here has lost huge amounts of weight but I am going to anyway. I started MFP a week ago today and have been very diligent on logging everything that passed my lips. Half way through the week I bought a new digital scale (was using a manual one) and was devastated to see it weight 3.5 pounds heavier than my old scale. I wasn't doing as well as I thought however, instead of succumbing to my first thought of "whats the use", I adjusted my starting weight and loss to date on the MFP data base and stayed strong. It paid off! Although I am not delusional and know that most of this loss is probably water weight, I don't care. I already feel a difference in my clothes. After the first week I am happy to say I am down a whopping 8.3 pounds. Now, I continue with my realistic goal in mind of 1-2 pounds per week. I am motivated, mostly because of everyone here and their success stories, from the new friends I have gained and just because this time I can and will do it!
Cheers!
