I am so excited I can barely contain myself.

As of yesterday, I am down 15 pounds. I started eating right and exercising about a month ago, and the weight is just coming off. I know it wont stay this way, but I can celebrate it for now.

I started at 194 and I am 179. Sheesh, I think it has been two years since I was that weight. Two years since I have been in the 170's and it only took a month. *Doing a happy dance*

Ohh...and only 5 pounds to lose until I am overweight, and not obese.

Congratulations!!!! 

Congrats! Remember to stay positive!

GREAT JOB!

Just stay positive and you will continue to go in the right direction. As long as you have adopted a healthier lifestyle you should have no problem keeping it off and reaching your goal!

You have every right to be excited and proud of yourself!  Way to go!

That is awesome! Congrats to you!!!

Awesome, that is so great. Keep up the great work!!!

You should be doing a happy dance! Congratulations

Hey, what have you been doing to lose weight? I want to make sure that I am doing everything I can. I have been counting calories and excercising, but to me it just seems like the weight is not coming off like it should be. Maybe, I guess, I am just expecting it to come off faster. Can you tell me what else I should do differently. Thank you.

Congratulations!!! You definitely deserve a happy dance for this accomplishment :)

I love these kinds of threads - seeing people accomplishing their goals the HEALTHY way. Keep at it girl!

Cograts :)

Thanks everybody!

Riecee: I have about 1000 cal defecit a day, minus cheat days. I noticed that water has a big ADVANTAGE to losing weight. That is about it. I do cardio and weights. Not much else.

Hooray, Yippeee, Yowser! (stands up on the chair yip yea-ing like a crazy woman)

Way to go...(oops falls off chair and has to collect herself)

Seriously, this great news, inspiring to us all!

Ditto what Bagga says!   Great results, Congratulations!

That is really awesome, especially since its all happened in a month! Keep up the hard work and remember the end goal. I admire you

Keep doing the happy dance.  Dancing = calorie burning :)  Congrats!!
