    6 pounds in 4 days is not bad I guess. Trying for 10 lbs before my first week ends. Might need to do the stationary bike longer periods.

    I just turned 40....want and need to lose 50lb for good. Been a yoyo for decades. Tried everything but counting calories always helped me take it off and keep it off (until the next baby). Done with babies..youngest now 4. I'm soooo ready.

    Realizing that when I eat, I'm so hungry that I don't care how tasteless diet food is. Ha! Also greatly reduced my portion sizes so my stomach is shrinking and I'm feeling full with less food. Just finished a cup of tuna pasta salad and I'm satisfied.

    Okay. Learning that my 1st 6 lbs lost was water retention after cutting sodium. Pretty sobering. Adding more cardio and reducing my calories a bit more now. Eating too many bananas. Need to find other potassium sources like fish and spinach.

    Lost 10 lbs as of this morning. It doesn't look like much yet, but I'm happy with the pace. Building up from 30-60 minutes cardio to 120 minutes or more when I can. At this pace, 120 lbs this year is realistic...

    Good luck! You will be fabulous, I'm sure. And don't feel bad about not 'seeing' it yet. I have lost 10.6 lbs in two weeks and keep trying to figure where it left from. ;)
    I'm sure the weight loss will slow down once we get going but I'm going to take the big numbers while I can get 'em! Hope you have a great week!

    You are where I was a little over a year ago. To date I've lost 128lbs. Just keep your eye on the prize, learn what works for you and don't quit.

    Not sure why seeing progress on the scale sometimes gives me excuse to eat more or exersize less....

    15 lbs to date. Not bad and I'm not sure if that's a slow pace or not. Planning to hit the cardio and strength training harder after I drop below 300 lbs. Moving soon so that's a good workout too...
