I'm so happy and excited that in one month I've lost 15 LBS!! And I've done it without giving anything up, just eating smaller portions of what I love to eat. (I was really skeptical about that advice other members gave me. :blushing: ) What a wonderful way to begin my lifetime journey. Thanks mfp members for all the wonderful advice you post. :flowerforyou:

    A 15-pound loss in one month is a MARVELOUS achievement!!!

    Portion control is still a problems of mine, so I'd like to know:

    What did you think about to be satisfied with smaller portions?

    Best Wishes!

    Congrats! I totally get that, I was very skeptical too but am learning that i don't have to give up my favorites if I learn moderation and live within my calorie range. I'm still trying to make better choices, but I no longer feel you have to be deprived and hungry all the time to lose weight.

    And, there are a lot of people on here that do care. For me, it's exciting to see other people succeed. It keeps me motivated, and helps me know that if I just keep at it I can reach my goals too!

    Congrat's on your big start!
    8.5% of your body weight in 1 month is amazing. (Not entirely sure it's healthy, but it is amazing.)
    That will/should probably slow to about 1 lb per week now that you're closer to goal,
    and eventually to 0.5 lb per week.

    Thanks!! Well, before I used to eat until I was super full, and I would eat fast. Now, I eat slowly which gives my stomach time to be satisfied. I don't eat till I'm bursting full anymore, but I don't feel like I'm going hungry. I hope u understand my explanation. Lol! :blushing:

    I've been wondering that myself if it's healthy or not, but only because I've seen mostly everybody post those amounts (1lb/week). But I'm not starving myself, I do eat :drinker: and I exercise doing Zumba about 4-5 times a week. I've increased from half hour at the beginning of the month to one hour this week. And i did gain weight (3lbs in one week) in between that month too... but if and when i start losing more slowly I won't freak out so much wondering why cuz I know it's bound happen. :smile:
