Just had my first weigh in this morning and I am down 6 lbs.!! So excited. I was trying not to get my hopes up and had decided I'd be happy with at least a 2 lb. loss so this is pleasant surprise. ^_^ Definitely gives me the motivation to keep going.

    great job! And this is just a question but for those that have the little weight loss meter thing how do you get and personalize that?

    I'm having good success too. I'm lying in my progress area about what I've lost because I just am not sure. Like REALLY? I've got 6 pounds recorded as of this morning, but it's more. Scared to believe, wonder if I will wake up with it back on. lol

    I keep checking the scale. I'm still eating what I want (mostly) and not having to pack special lunches or read every label or panic that tonight's dinner can only be a celery stick. I'm really comfortable with MFP. I'm watching what I eat and the amounts and that seems to be successful to me. What I like is that I feel like I have a normal life. I don't feel like I'm committed to not eating bread again or similar.

    Congrats to all who are doing well!

    Go under "apps" and pick the "ticker" link... it gives you the choice of either using one of theirs or personalizing one of your own... then it'll walk you through adding your own picture and how you want it to read :smile:

    Great job!

    To help me comprehend when I "only" lose a pound that it actually is a good loss, I take a pound of butter, put in next to my belly, imagine it PART of my belly. Always helps me realize the extent of loss! You can even break it down to 1/4 pounds loss, one stick, hold it on your bicep. UGH! Good loss! <grin>

    Thanks again for all the encouragement. The butter trick is a great idea. I'll have to remember it when I get frustrated! :heart:
