Surprised Myself on Week 1

kailyamie · May 2011

I've been using MFP for 1 week, and I lost 5 pounds already! What a great way to start!! :-)
I'm just following the MFP guide and eating back half of my exercise calories.
I'm waling 2 miles a day with my family (my kids are loving it!) after dinner and I've used my elliptical for 15 minutes at a time a few times as well. I am also eating in 6 smaller meals instead of my old habit where I wouldn't eat anything until 2pm and then I would eat 2 big means and that was it all day! It's hard to get a new routine going, but I'm doing it and I'm surprised with myself. I've never intentionally lost weight before, this is big for me

I know some of you might laugh, but a small NSV for me today too, I'm finally not too fat for the Wii Fit anymore. I weighed myself on it this morning and I thought I was going to cry. I haven't been able to use that thing in months. Embarrassed to admit that... but hurray for a great start!!! :-)

Welcome! Congratulations on a great start! Come post if you ever need encouragement or just someone who understands. Or if you need someone to kick your butt and get you back on track! We all can use that from time to time.

Thanks! And you are right, and that is my approach. I am an impatient person! But, I am giving myself until 30 to reach my goal. I will be 27 in August, so I think it's manageable!
