Congratulations. every tiny victory brings you closer to your goal!!! keep up the good work...

Good job, I found my first week was bad and week 5 I was starving. Not sure why, but I was! Keep up the great work!..

Congratulations! You lost about the same amount I did in the first week...

That is AMAZING!!! Woot woot!! Keep up the great work!!..

AWESOME!!!! Take it one day at a time. You can totally do this! I felt the same way when I started...pretty doubtful. BUT, I said ok, 1 month. Lets see what happens. I was HOOKED after my first week..

Nothing ever worked for me until MF. If you just follow the plan, you WILL LOSE THE WEIGHT. Staying on the boards for me was critical as well. I seriously could NOT have done it without everyone here..

So glad you had a great week! Here is to week 2!..

Congratulations! I really think day #3 is the hardest and once you get past that you've got it made. Now that you've seen scale go down you'll really be motivated...

Nice! Way to stick with it and come up with a nice loss on the scale. Congrats!..

That is terrific!! Great first week weigh in. Congratulations...

Congrats! That weight loss after the first week is such a great feeling! It also keeps you motivated to keep on doing it even when it gets tough. There have been times for me that I was in pretty tempting positions (restaurants, bars, beer festival, tailgating at the Ravens game- a friend of ours was in town so we showed him around) and the thought of losing weight was what kept me on plan! I didn't budge off the plan and afterwards the feelign of accomplishment for not "cheating" was SO MUCH BETTER than a drink or hamburger would have tasted!.

Keep on plan and IT WILL WORK! So proud of everyone! Way to go!..

I totally agree with loralynn69! Day three was harsh! It gets better for sure..

WOOOOO HOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! RAWHIDE!!!!!! you are AWESOME!.

You are so shaking it! And see, you were rewarded with a great 1st week!..

I agree as well. Day Three was the worst for me too. Headaches. Ugh. For the newbies out there.(hey.am I officially NOT a newbie any longer?).I am a daily-weigher and find it keeps me very motivated. I also ate Grilled Chicken Salads from Culvers and McDonald's three of seven days so I'm happy that seems to be a viable option.

I won't do it excusively but it's nice to feel that I can get something op fast if I need to. I also drank the pre-made Lipton Diet Green Tea (Walmart drink/snack or juice section). I should start a thread I guess but does anyone know if there is already a list on these boards for op fast food salads? Thanks for everyone's well-wishes! Truly appreciated and it's been so much fun to be excited and anxious to share it will all of you...
