What a difference 5 weeks can make!!

Options
I've been hard at this journey for just over 5 weeks now. Hitting the gym or track 6 days a week and tracking my cals carefully. Very few processed foods, mostly fresh things made into meals. Looking through pictures I found one that made me wince and kinda spurred me to start getting serious. For fun, I took a picture now wearing the same shirt (that I didn't have to stretch out this time to get it less clingy) and was pleasantly surprised. As of a week ago I was down 5.5lbs, unsure now but still happy!!

This I took with a friend (whom I cropped out) the weekend before I got very serious.

    I too am about 5-6 wks in with just calorie counting and walking. I joined the gym a wk and a half ago and now try to go 4 times a wk and down 10 lbs even. I am sure I have lost inches as well, just not sure how many. I can tell because of how my clothes fit and my face is slimming down! CONGRATS on your success so far and I would like us to be friends since it seems we started at the same time. :)
