23 lbs in 3 weeks. 5 lbs just this last week. Wow, I am so stoked. Started this journey 3 weeks ago to the day. I weighed 285 lbs and 3 weeks later 262 lbs, that's 23 lbs gone. Since I joined MFP I stopped drinking mt dew, started logging my calories (food) and got off my lazy *kitten* and started moving around. I personally don't eat back any calories. Although some people should. I Bought me a fitbit and been averaging over 17000 steps a day. My goal every day is 15k steps at least. I still cant see any difference when I look in the mirror yet. I'm going to lose 60 lbs for my first goal, so I look at it this way. 60 lbs is 20 lbs 3 times so the first 20 is done now 2 more to go. Sorry for all the rambling I'm just so excited!

You certainly have the right to be stoked! You've done some major changes and are reaping the benefits. Keep up the enthusiasm and determination if you hit a few slower weeks, as we almost all have those. But you'll win out if you persist, which I'm thinking you'll do! Congratulations.
