I'm really excited to have lost 7 lbs for the month of January. At first I thought to myself, that's not very much.. But, then my boyfriend was saying how if you think about it like this...If I lose 7 more lbs in February..that's 14 lbs total! That made me feel a lot better about it. I feel SO motivated right now.
Also, something that helped me was I upped my calories a little bit. The suggested amount for me to lose 1.8 lbs a week is 1200 calories...there were some days where that was no problem at all. But, then there were other days when I would go eat with a friend unplanned & I would feel like I just blew it for the day. Well, I upped my calories to 1350 & I feel SO much better with that. It says I should lose 1.5 lbs a week with those calories. As long as I keep losing, I'm good! : )

Yes she does and she is lucky0 -
great job - 7 lbs is nothing to feel anything but awesome about!! unexpected splurging w/ friends can be rough - only thing to do is try and minimize damage (so like soup and salad), or steamed veggies and grilled chicken, sauce on the side...you can probably make it pretty healthy...0

even if you lose 1 lb per week that totals 52 by the end of the year.
7this month, means youre already ahead of schedule ;-)

Thats great... I thought of it the same way (-5lbs), but as long as your losing than gaining so thats always a plus0
