New confidence is addicting!

I am posting this in the success stories topic section as I believe I am a success!!
I am 1 full week into dieting and I am still not bored, unmotivated, eaten any junk and I am seeing results!!
1 week in of healthy eating and working out, I have achieved the following:
a). Last week, I was spilling out of size 24 tops, today I am wearing a size 22
b). I am 7lbs lighter
c). I have lost a total of 20inches from around my thighs, chest, boobs, waist, hips and arms!!
d). Gone from lasting barely 5 minutes on the exercise bike to doing 30 minute workouts over the 7 days!

I am not gloating here, I promise! I am simply putting it to you that with sheer determination, a little motivation, your goal jeans hanging on the door and a lot of will power - you too can achieve great results no matter how big or small!! Every loss is a great success!
Don't worry if you don't see a difference right away, your body is adjusting to the wonderful changes you are making, and it will happen - just stick to it!!
I know I am only 7 days into the diet, and I still have a long journey ahead but these changes are just the motivation I need and I know I can do this because I really want it!!
If you need any help, advice, motivation - then please feel free to add me, I am always up for a chat if you need me!!
Good luck to each and every one of you on your journeys!!

    Good for you, honey! So happy for you. Be sure that you're eating enough calories (net 1500 or 1600), & doing strength training in addition to cardio. You'll be amazed at your progress. Keep working hard, you're doing wonderful :smile:

    I started on Jan 2 and have lost 4 lbs from initial weigh in and 9 lbs since 27th of Dec. I too am really motivated to do this! I can't wait to put on my first pair of goal jeans, hopefully by the end of this month!
