Since April, my hubby and I have been trying to lose weight. While I got down for a bit, my weight shot back up. I've been using MFP for a week and lost weight this week - for the first time in far too many months. I only lost about 2 1/2 pounds, but that small step is so exciting. Thanks to all of you who share motivational stories which have inspired me! I now know that I actually CAN do this.

    keep with it, its just math, meet your calories, be honest with portion sizes and the weight will drop off, and have fun!

    2 1/2 pounds for one week is amazing. i have just lost five pounds and i have been on this sense june. i have major health issues going on right now so my life is definitely baby steps. i celebrate each pound lost. i was in a car accident and am able to do 3 minutes of exercise at a time. i celebrate those three minutes.
    i am 58 so things will go slower.

    do not measure this success by pounds lost but by keeping track of eating and exercising. moving and enjoying. good luck.

    Precious hope, I'm so sorry you can only exercise about 3 minutes at a time; i'm glad, though, that you can celebrate those minutes. As I got ready for my workout today, I said a prayer for you...sorry if that sounds cheesy. I'm a firm believer in the power of prayer. Good luck to you as well in your weight loss.
