        Hi Gary -- congratulations on making the decision to make yourself healthier. Seven pounds is a great amount - nothing to make light of! Just remember, you will loose at a different rate than other people do.

        Good luck on your journey -- you'll be at your goal before you know if. If you need help, advise or just want someone to talk to there is always someone here to help!

          7 pounds is great! It's almost 25% of your total goal. Awesome job.

          If you ever feel discouraged by how much you've lost, just pick up a 5 pound bag of sugar. It's heavy, and you've lost more than that.
