in Health and Weight Loss
So I know it's only my first week and you lose more the first week or so, etc., but I have to tell you, I lost 5.3 lbs. this week and it feels like 15! My skin is better (I have rosacea and no flares since eating healthier!), I'm not bloated, I have more energy, and I just FEEL great. It wasn't an easy week by any means, but with the help of the MFP community, I was able to tweak my food choices and finish strong.

So I guess I want to say thank you all, and I can't wait for that little ticker below to move further and further to the right. :)

    Congratulations! I have been on here for over a year and at first I lost 25 pounds. Then, because of personal circumstances, I wasn't able to be on MFP for 6 months and I gained all of it back. MFP really works and if you stick to it, you will continue to lose. The support and the encouragement along with logging my daily food is really exciting and I love it here. I am here to stay!

    Well done that girl!

    Remember the first couple of weigh in's are likely to show the biggest loss, but even as the scale does eventually slow down you'll continue to feel better! I feel so much more alive now then I did 4 months ago it's like I'm a new man

    I lost 4 lbs in my first week and it is okay. They say if you lose more than that, expect lower numbers the second week. I am on my second week, I weigh in Tuesday. Send me some of your skinny vibes!
