First Weekly Weigh In

So yesterday was my first official weekly weigh in; and I have lost 2 lbs! I know its not very monumental, but it is really motivating me to carry on. I feel like its a small step in a long journey and I have to remind myself that it is okay to go slow.

2 pounds is a perfect rate of weight loss, it's not really possible to lose fat much faster 😊 Very well done iwantoloseweight 😊

That's a fantastic start 👍👍👍 and as I am frequently reminded on here any loss no matter how small is still a loss.

Whether I lose 100g (about one quarter of a pound) or 400g (about a pound) I am happy with the downward movement. It took me 3 years to put the weight on (over 30k - almost 5 stone) so I'm quite happy if it takes me that long to lose it.

You are doing brilliantly and a steady loss is much much better than a dramatic loss as you are more likely to carry on without becoming frustrated.

Hope you keep up the good work and smile through the bumps in the road and celebrate all your successes 🙂🙂🙂

2lbs is a great start!!!! Keep going! You can do it. Just stick around to stay accountable. Pick a weigh in day and report it there weekly. You'll find lots of support. Good luck!!!
