10 Pounds Down!
So I hit the 10 pound loss mark this week1 I still have 15 to go, but this was the point where I felt that, hey, this is actually sort of working.

Number of Fitbit calories earned is decreasing

What I Miss from 135 Pounds Ago
So I don't read a lot of weight loss blogs, but one (Can You Stay for Dinner) is a really great writer, and three of her posts really resonate with me (as I think they might with someone who's lost any amount of weight). What I Miss from 135 Pounds Ago Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3 Has anyone else ever experienced these types…

Did anyone not lose weight at first?
Just wondering, I always hear stories about how people lose a lot the first week (mostly water weight), but then it slows down. But is there anyone who didn't really lose much weight the first 2-3 weeks, but then started dropping it? When could you really tell you were losing weight?
