Yay well done, isn't it a great feeling when you see the scales going down as opposed to up!

Re: woo hoo 20 lbs gone

Awesome job! I also started January 5th at 238 lbs and have lost 18 so far. After reading other posts of people who've lost that in a month, I had been becoming somewhat discouraged. But I'm moving at a steady pace, and that makes me happy. I feel so much better and just this week have started having comments from people asking me if I've lost weight. What an awesome feeling!! Keep up the great work!

Hi,

Congratulations! That is very encouraging. Keep going.

CuzMommySaysSo (love the name): You've lost 18 lbs - that is amazing!!!

Since January 5th - I've lost..... nothing!! Not been too good about it either, but I'm re-re-re-starting so this month will be better. 18 lbs is a lot of weight. Next time you go to the gym - try to go up and down the stairs a few times with 2 10 lb weights in your hands and see how that feels.

Re: woo hoo 20 lbs gone

Congratulations --we started on the same day and have lost almost the same amount (I was 21 pounds on Monday 3/1 when I last weighed). I read where some people loose faster, some slower, but I'm happy with my progress because it's what I've done - at my pace - for my health...it's something no one else did.

I've been doing the same exercises almost from the beginning, so since this is the start of my 3rd month on plan, I'm going to shake things up and do a few different things to hopefully get my body going again. I just don't want to get stagnant!

Keep up the great work! I'll watch for your progress.
