Lost my first 5 pounds

Options
Fairly new to my fitness pal, joined three months ago, but have only recently been logging. My mother passed away and I had taken a hiatus to life.
I have logged almost 2 weeks and have lost 5 pounds! First milestone met!! Woot!!!
I would love to have some peer support as I have a 70+ pound weight loss journey ahead of me!!! I have lost these pounds before and will do it again!!! I refuse to let myself gain back this much weight!!!
Ready to be healthy, have support and have more accountability!!! Hoping to gain some MFP friends!!!
Thanks :-)

    Try not to think about what you have to loose
    Instead congratulate yourself for each pound you do loose
    Helps me, hope it does the same for you :)
