I just felt the need to share with everyone out there that has just started on their weightloss jouney that they can do it! I have about 100 lbs to lose and I have reached 19.8 lbs in only 5 weeks!!!!!

I never imagined that logging my food and excercise would make such a huge change!!!!! Sorry if this seems like a small success to some but for those of us that have SO much to lose I felt maybe this would help inspire someone!!!!! Hope this helped in someway!

    I would not be calling that a small success more like a big one, be proud of your accomplishments big and small, the longest journey starts with the first step, so keep going and be proud of them all.

    Good for you! Looks like we started about the same time and have about the same amount to lose. You're doing better than I am, but it is so much harder to get off as you age. At 53, I know I can't lose like I could in my 20's, so I know it's going to be a long road. However, I lost 35 pounds last year and it only took me about 3 months to gain it all back. It SOOOO wasn't worth it! This time I have a community to support me and plan to get off the yo-yo for good. Even if it takes me 10 YEARS to lose it all - I think where I would be now if I'd only had this mind set 10 years ago... One step at a time. It doesn't matter if it's a big step or a little step.
