FINALLY lost 2 lbs!!

I've been tracking and in a deficit for 4 weeks and I finally lost 2 lbs!! I honestly hate the scale, so I was just randomly checking and sometimes my weight would be up, which I know is just water weight but still frustrating. I could also tell that my ring was tight for some reason so my body was holding on to water. Anyway, feels good to finally see the results of the hard work. I still have at least 5-10 to go, which I know isn't much but it really gets tough. These are my "vanity pounds" but I really want to be back into my size 6-8 work pants by the time I go back to work this winter.

    Congrats! With only 5-10 lbs to lose, 0.5 per week is a great rate to do it.

    Thanks everyone!! According to my deficit, I should be losing a pound a week, but honestly I'll take anything! Usually I tend to lose slow anyway, so I guess it is what it is. Happy to be on the right track!
