      Congrats to the great losses so far in the previous posts.

      So for week 1 I lost 3lbs and wiped off 1.6% of me which is more than I did for the whole of February. After losing so little in Feb I think my lost might be accelerated a bit so i'm not expecting to lose so much in the next few weeks.
