I am doing the challenge where you are not to weight in for a month. I wasn't going to peek, but I did. Had to go to the doc for my annual physical. I started this site at the beginning of Nov. I have lost 15 pounds. I am sooooooooooooooo excited. This site has made this adventure a smooth one. The support, the advice, the excitement is the key for making this site such a success. I am heading for the next 15-20 by Christmas. I will not get on the scale again until Dec 23.
Here's to the next step:drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

    Did you tell your doctor how much weight you lost in such a short time? What you are doing is NOT good for you - whatever it is. 15 pounds lost in two weeks is only a good thing if you are obese: and even then should be done under a doctor's supervision. Please read up on safe weight loss or see a nutritionist. You should be shooting for 1-2 pounds a week to be able to sustain loss and maintain your weight after.

    We want you to succeed! But guard your health. It's the most important thing.

    I'm not going to complain Icandoit! But Cheryl has a point. While I'm not as alarmed because the first few weeks you can sometimes loose a LOT of water weight (and eating better sometimes helps flush out the colon at the beginning), but still just be aware that while 15 lbs is a great start, if you loose another 7 lbs in a week, there could be danger.
    I think it's great that you lost the weight! but be careful, we want you here for the long haul.

    My doc is very happy. I am not staving myself. I am counting calories, (1440 as the site suggested) and eating right. I have to lose 75+ more pounds. I have dedicated myself to a huge lifestyle change. I am working out 5 days a week, ( 1.5 hours of cardio and weights) and I am eating healthier than ever. My doc said not to change what I am doing. He was not concerned at all. I print all my meals and calories everyday. I have never eaten less than 1440. I am eating more like 1520-1600. I increase my calories by the amount I am burning. My trainer aka my husband is a retired bodybuilder, and he stays on top of that for me. He monitors my whole intake of food and my exericing. When you cut out the fast food (2-3 days a week) and the carbs late at night, and you exercise the proper way, it will come off. It won't always be fast like this, but it will come off.
    Have a great day.
