I felt the need to pat myself on the back!

So...half-way through breakfast I realized I forgot to do my weigh-in.:embarassed:

Well I decided I'd do it anyway and then recheck it tomorrow morning as soon as I got up just to see. I AM ECSTATIC! I HAVE OFFICIALLY RELEASED 4 LBS.! (I don't say lost because I have a habit of finding things...:laugh: )

I know 4lbs is not a huge number, but it is the most important number as far as I'm concerned! It means I am doing things right!!! YAY!!!!!

:heart:

    First of all, congrats on the 4 pounds gone, and Second - congrats on not being obsessed on the scale! I still weigh everything first thing in the morning. I will work on letting go of that later!

    4 pounds IS huge! I'd be ecstatic if I lost another 4 pounds during the next week or two.

    Good job! Bravo. Just don't expect to lose four pounds a week. One pound a week is good enough. Keep up the good work. :smile:

    Thank you everyone!

    Portion control is key I have found...it's amazing when you see the ACTUAL portion (ie ~ 3/4 cup of cereal) compared to what you are used to eating...

    I've been power walking as much as possible and drinking LOTS of water...I keep it flavored with cucumber & lemon; cinnamon sticks & apples or cucumber & fresh mint.

    I know the weight starts quick and then plateaus and I'm not expecting the 4lbs. each week ~ I'm realistic and life does happen!!!

    =)
