First Week

Options
I'm super excited about MFP, it's been one week today and I lost 5 pounds. I have never been able to track my food, progress and workouts this easily... I'm hoping to reach my goal of about 50 pounds with the help of this site.

    Congrats!!! I have been at this for 3.5 weeks but on this site for 2 weeks. My first and second week I only lost 1 lb each week...last week I lost 3 :happy: Hoping for more loss by the end of this week. 5 lbs in one week is great...what did you do?

    Thanks y'all! I just stayed within the limits. It was probably just such a difference from my normal food intake. Like instead of ordering the #7 off the value meal, I just got on classis chicken sandwich ( 440 calories) and ate half of it and gave the rest to my daughther :) If I would add up all the calories I would have eaten w/out the help of this site....maaaan it would have been enuff for all the users on here... and when I'm still hungry I just go to the gym to burn about 400-450 calories so I can eat again :)
