I just feel so great although I have only lost 5 pounds! Knowing that is not much I feel thinner already! I feel like I did when I was younger and I didn't worry about my weight. Although, I have a long way to go, I feel like it is no longer a big problem and that I can do it without frustration cause I have started to defeat the scale!!!!!! I know that I can keep it up this time and it is all because of you all !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Jenaboo,

I really know what you mean, as I am feeling the same way. I have only been working at it for a week, and the scales are already heading the right way. I feel thrilled at the loss of a couple of pounds. It's a good feeling! Let's hope it continues!

That's the spirit!!!
Bottle that enthusiasm and carry it with you through your journey!
You can do it! And you have living proof right in your own mirror!!!!

Quitting is failure. Sticking at it even if you falter now and again is absolute success! You can do it!!!!!

:cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:
(one for eack pound!!!)

I hope that this is enough to keep me motivated to the finish!

Wow, thats a great feeling... Congratz for being positive and motivated :)

Any loss is a major victory. Sometimes we lose the feeling, but the best way to see that we are making headway is in our clothes. They seem to fit a bit snugger with just a few lbs extra.
You have the right attitude, keep it up.

Think of that 5 pounds as a 5-lb. bag of flour that you're no longer carrying on your hips. 5 pounds is a lot! Good for you!

Thank you everyone it really has helped me soooooooooo much!

I feel that way the second i start my diet... all of a sudden it's like Poof! i feel good! That's a great feeling!! lol

hmmm if I feel so good eating right and staying on track...then why don't i do it more often... we humans are so odd! lol

I totally agree with you Pamela! It is funny the way we are and think!

you are not crazy 5 lbs in either direction can be felt. I hear for every lbs you lose it is like tajing 3lbs off your knees.

Hey 5 lbs is better than nothing. Congrats on that and I wish you much more success.
