OK, I know its not much compared to many of you but I haven't lost weight like this ever. Most of the weight I have lost in the past has been due to a fad diet or something and it just came right back. This time I feel like I earned the weight loss. So, I feel great about this! :bigsmile:

    Way to go with the five pounds. Keep it up. I agree this site is great. Mainly because of the people who share. Whenever I feel like blowing it, I just come here and read a little and get inspired again.

    Checking in for week 5. Stayed the same for the first time since I started on June 1. Sad day, but at least no gain.

    How are others doing?

    I haven't had too much change, I was down one more pound and the the RELATIVES came to town! So now I am struggling to get back down to where I had lost before. I am riding my bike in little spurts. Its helping. I think its just slow.

    Hi, Just checking in. Two pounds gone last week. Everyone check in. We have to keep each other encouraged. This site is so good for that.

    Remember . . . you can decide. There is a choice!

    I am still at the same weight but there is more hope than ever since my family is now coming on board and doesn't seem to be sabotaging my work so much. I will probably drop some more weight this week. :smile:
