Finally! 20 lbs gone! Thank you MFP Warriors!

I got on the scale yesterday. I just about freaked out, 20 lbs! I didn't believe it, so I made my 11 yr old weigh since he had just been weighed at the dr, the scale was right on. Freaking out! I can't remember the last time I lost 20 lbs. (Guess if I could I probably wouldn't need to lose 20 lbs...) 20 lbs lighter just from adjusting my diet, I haven't even pushed myself physically yet. If I would have known I had to eat more to lose weight I would have done it a long time ago. Thank you Myfitnesspal warriors! You have given me the encouragement I desperately needed and motavation I so desperately lacked! YOU ROCK!!! THANKS!!!

My secret... I don't know...
Cleaned out my pantry...
My family is eating what I am...
Drinking half my weight in ounces of water daily...
Taking the stairs everywhere...
The bottomline is I have 120 lbs to lose, so look at it as percentage of weight lost.
6 weeks = 20lbs = 3.3 lbs a week = 7.6% tpwl
Not exactly "biggest loser" weightloss but healthy weightloss.

VEGETABLES!!!! and I'm eating, I think that's the big thing. I'm averaging 1500/day. I'm not making "special diet food" just normal things my family enjoys beefed up with vegis and cutting the fat and processed ingredients. I think the key has been water water water and I'm not allowing myself to negative selftalk.
Any really if I knew the "secret" I'd be patoning it! I believe different things work for different people at different times of life. This is working for me now... I wish I could tell you more but... I don't know...
