2.5 weeks in and feeling great!!

I have a LONG way to go as I've just started .... but I've definitely been noticing that my pants are getting a LOT looser in just 2.5 weeks! Today walking up my mom's sidewalk, having her look at me surprised and tell me that she can see a big difference already totally made my day!! But even more than that, more than the fact that I need a belt on my pants, more than someone noticing ..... I feel AMAZING!!! I've not had a soda in almost 3 weeks, other than my morning cup of coffee I drink nothing but water ... I'm eating 4-5 meals a day rather than my normal 1 that I was used to for a few years ... I feel great!!! I LOVE this site and you all are so inspiring and help keep me motivated ... thank you all!
Anyone please feel free to add me as a friend ... it's nice to have friends with similar goals, love reading your posts, love seeing success stories .... I believe it's good motivation for all of us on here!
