    Kudos! Like the others have said, the heavier you are when you start, the more water weight will drop off in those first few weeks. I started at 291 and now at 221, people are really starting to notice. I'm getting double-takes when I go somewhere I haven't been in several months :) So you will too at some point!

    Don't let it get you down when it slows up to 1-2 pounds a week or stalls for a week or two. Such is life in weight loss. Keep moving more and logging everything and eating in your deficit (don't overdo it!), and you'll keep losing.

    You're awesome, keep it up!

    Congrats on the loss! And good for you for marching on without their support!! :flowerforyou:

    I feel a bit of your pain because I am tired of my co-workers laughing when I measure something out or they see I have food in the frig that is pre-weighed with calorie count on the carton. Hey........you gotta do what works!!

    Good for you!! :happy:

    On your first month you will have your fastest weight loss. Then it slows down. I wish it didn't but that is life. :)

    Way to go! If that isn't motivation and/or proof that you can and are doing this ... !!!

    You need to toughen your skin and let the nay-sayer comments roll right off your back - and use their negativity to fuel your push to create a body you are proud of!

    Keep up the good work - and as a dear trainer of mine used to say - YOU GOT THIS,GIRL!

    Remember, it takes 4 weeks for you to see your body changing. It takes 8 weeks for friends and family and it takes 12 weeks for the rest of the world. KEEP GOING. :) Hope that helps!

    Someone who only needs to lose 65 lbs. doesn't lose 20 lbs. of water, maybe 5... Men lose weight a lot faster than women. Enjoy your weight loss and keep up the good work!

    I began my journey on August 15th. And so far I am down 21lbs as well. I know that it is mostly water weight, but as I explained to my wife. I do not care if it takes 3 months or 3 years I have made my mind up that it is time to lose this weight. I started at 362 lbs and I have a very long road ahead of me. I will not give up I refuse to.

    Well done, just remember to keep going, even when the weight loss slows down.
