    OP, congratulations on getting started. There is a lot of information available on this site, and it'll help keep you losing weight.

    Egh1974, congratulations on making this about how sensitive you are. You're right, everyone else is just trying to be negative and I wouldn't have noticed without you. You've saved me from paying attention to common stumbling blocks new people face.

    LOL Sensitive? I was the one congratulating the OP. She didn't ask for advice.
    I'm just trying to stay positive, which is more than I can say for you sweethearts.
    I'm so tired of people attacking the new guys when all they want is a little pat on the back, not a scholastic research paper. However, if she does ask for that, I'll be sure to recommend you folks first.
    Don't forget to SMILE, honey. It'll do that heart of yours some good :heart: :heart: :heart:

    well done! :) for me, usually it's the oppsite: first week is the hardest. The first week I started both exercising and sticking with my diet I could only lose .6 kg and the next week it was 1.6.

    false premise is false.

    just because you call something an attack doesn't mean it's an attack.

    but then again, you've been on this site for all of a few days, so you've got it all figured out, huh?

    i can't wait to see your advice when the OP comes back in 3 weeks upset and ready to quit because she gained 2lbs (of water weight) the previous week. maybe you can congratulate her on her decision to quit and feel good about yourself for being so positive and supportive. of course, you won't be anywhere to be found then, will you?

    9 lbs is awesome but I would hate to see you get discouraged when it slows down, I had similar results for a month and since then it has slowed but I continue to seek my goal. Just be prepared and keep focus.

    Actually I've been here 5 years. Closed my account and reopened when I got married and wanted to change my username.

    Go away.

    Bye-bye.

    Be gone.

    Oh yikes! Didn't mean to cause an argument.. just wanted to 1, share my good news and 2, Encourage any one just starting!

    I know I wont shift that much every week and if I did I would be seeking medical advice urgently! I fully expect it to drop to 1-2lbs a week perhaps nothing maybe even gain occasionally... I understand its water weight as well as some fat loss :)

    Please don't get into a heated discussion over this... its not worth it!

    Thank you to everyone that posted with support xxx

    I think most experienced fitness members will agree, that the first couple of weeks are the easiest. Keep up the good work, and don't cut back on calories, but give your body enough energy to perform a daily workout, jog, walk etc. Be kind to your body, and with hard work, and dedication, you will reap the rewards. Just don't panic, when some of those pounds, come back, as you gain a little bit of muscle along the way.
    I am in my first week, as well, and yeasterday was my restday from working out, as my little muscles was aching, I spent the day mainly stretching. I need to spend more time on warming up and cooling down. I am on a healthy 1800-2000 a day. I expect to loose around 5-12lb the first couple of weeks. After that, I'll have to up my kcal, and start jogging. I dread having to jogg.

    I started my lifestyle change yesterday. I did go over my calories for the day but I can salvage my week I think. What an inspiration. 9 pounds is fantastic. Keep up the good work.

    That is a great first week loss! I'm new to this site (well, sort of...I was here YEARS ago) but I'm not new to weight loss. I've lost, reached goal, and gained back so many times it's crazy. And the first week has always been the biggest loss. (Except for when I had food poisoning)

    Anyway, congrats on the 9 pounds and keep up the good work. Even when it slows down (or sometimes stop) it sounds like you have the determination to keep going, and that's the key. :)
