Hey everyone! I never thought losing weight could happen for me. I've been overweight since elementary school, and now I'm 22 years old starting off my career. I began losing weight this year in January and have been keeping track of my weight every Wednesday. I'm 3 lbs away from the weight I started college in 2008. My goal weight is around 130 lbs, so I'm still working hard.

This is what my weight loss has looked like so far:

Week 1: 6 lbs lost (6 lbs total)
Week 2: 4 lbs lost (10 lbs total)
Week 3: 0 lbs lost (10 lbs total)
Week 4: 4 lbs lost (14 lbs total)
Week 5: 3.4 lbs lost (17.4 lbs total)
Week 6: 1.6 lbs lost (19 lbs total)
Week 7: 0 lbs lost (19 lbs total)
Week 8: 7 lbs lost (26 lbs total)
Week 9: 1 lb lost (27 lbs total)
Week 10: 4 lbs lost (31 lbs total)
Week 11: 2 lbs lost (33 lbs total)
Week 12: 2 lbs (35 lbs lost)
Week 13: 0 lbs (35 lbs lost)
Week 14: 2 lbs (37 lbs lost)

    Great job! It gets easier to stay motivated once you can start to see a physical transformation, huh? Keep it up and you'll be at your target weight before you know it!

    Good job! What type of plan are you on? Also, what did you do differently in week 8 to lose so much?

    I mainly just watch my calories by using MFP and try to walk as much as possible. My goal is 15,000 steps per day. Sometimes I get busy and cannot do that much, but I always try my best to reach it.

    During week 8, I bought BodyMedia. It keeps track of my steps walked, calories burned, etc. That device made me realize what I really need to improve on, and the weight fell off so fast that week. :D
