1 week into tracking on MFP and down 4.8#. It's one small step towards the 96 I have to lose, but it's the first step!!

    Way to go! You got this! My small victory was actually being able to get up early all week and hit the gym! I still have a good 90lbs to loose as well!

    4.8 pounds in one week is nearly 5% of the amount you've set out to lose - no small accomplishment!

    Thanks!! I took my first 'cheat' yesterday. It wasn't even all day, just went over on calories by about 700 or so. Went up 1lb, and I'm ok with that. I know I can get that back off this week plus more staying on this track.

    Funny thing is, I had a piece of bday cake, and considering I've been a real sugar/pastry addict the last number of years... I took a bite of it, fully expecting to just fall in love with it... and went into it prepared to have to through sugar withdrawl again for a few days. But actually it was just too sweet, and I found it more of a deterrent to my progress than enjoyable. I didn't even finish it. :) that's a win in my book!

    Do not under-estimate your loss. Stick with it and the pounds will continue to come off! Congratulations and Keep Going! You've Got This!!

    23 days in and 9.2# down... super excited that things are moving at a great pace. Kinda bummed I have 3 thanksgivings and 5 Christmases to try to avoid gaining a ton during!! lol. I'm prepared to make good choices while enjoying the holiday. If I can get through it maintaining what I've lost and just not losing any more, or my gain only being a couple pounds, I'll be happy!!

    Seems like 4.8 isn’t a small victory! Keep celebrating though.
