Feeling great about loosing weight!!

I just wanted to basically brag, since the begining of the new year I have lost a little over 9 pounds.  I have been eating my calories which is the hardest part for me, I have such a busy schedule that I was skipping meals, very bad idea.  I have to loose over 100 pounds to be at a healthy weight for my age, and so far for once, I think that I can actually do it.  I am so excited right now, I am full of energy and life!  I know that I am loosing a little more weight than I should in such a short time, but when you are this heavy you loose weight quickly with just a little effort, at least that is what my doctor informed me.  She says that once I get rid of the first 30 pounds the weight will take a little extra work.  But if I keep feeling this great, it won't be work at all!  I hope that my story can be an inspiration for others! 

Wow!  Awesome - 9 lbs. is certainly a great start!  Do you watch "The Biggest Loser"?  It is amazing how much people usually lose the first week and then it slows down - and sometimes even plateaus.  So, that said, don't get discouraged if your rate of weight loss slows down - stick with it.  I am so happy for you.  You can do it - you are well on your way - Congratulations!

Way to go Skus!  Keep it up and you will find yourself at your goal in no time. 

Thanks harleygirly and lauren_s, I am hoping that I can keep up the excitment that I have.  My roommate is great at keeping me motivated!  He helps to push me to keep up the good work and is always complimenting me, it helps a lot more than he knows!  Sometimes a few words of encouragment go a long way.

WOW that is amazing! 9lbs lost in two weeks! I am envious of you since I lost 5lbs since the start of the new year ;) . I couldn't agree with you more about the part where you think you can really pull it off this time. I have 40lbs more to go (25lbs lost already yay!) and I also have this feeling that this time I'm really gonna make it too!

Congratulations, really! I felt so happy when I read your post because I could relate to it. I really hope you succeed, and all the best! :D

PS : I know you said you have 100lbs to lose, but just think of all the added motivation when your scales do tip in your favor. Trust me, I never thought I could EVER go near to losing more than 10 pounds, let alone 25! Now I wanna just keep on going and going! 

awesome job!!! keep it up!!! i've lost 53 since 9/4 & i feel better than ever :D if i can do this, anyone can!!!

Yay!  Great job. 

I've lost 5.5 lbs since New Years and I am pretty excited about it too.
