    awesome....just keep it up- what normally happens is that you see weight lost and then people stop tracking- even if you reach your goal this also helps for maintaining. Best of luck!

    I hear ya. I'm super excited about my water weight loss as well. I heard that the first 10 lbs is usually water weight, but I still see that I'm looking good and feeling great. I know thing will start to slow down, but I'm ready for it. I lost 6 lbs in my first week (weighed myself yesterday). Today, just because my curiosity got the best of me, I stepped on the scale before taking my shower. I lost another pound.

    This counting calories DOES work. Just don't forget to exercise if you want it to move along faster. :happy:

    Its true the sight works. I have lost 5 pounds too! I am excited but want to continue the journey. It is an everyday struggle. But having the site and members to share the experience with is great!

    Congratulations! You're doing an awesome job! :flowerforyou:
    Keep logging your foods, getting some exercise, reading and even writing on the boards (for extra motivation:wink: ) and you WILL lose the weight that you want to! :smile: :bigsmile:
