serve_the_people Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Just want to celebrate the fact that I have reach a small mile stone of losing 10 pounds. Maybe this doesn't mean much to some people here, but it means a lot to me. In just 6 weeks of hard work, I am now down from 209 to 199, and I want to get down to 190. It just feels really good to be doing this. Thatz all I have to say... Link to comment

now_better Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 grats, i'm working on the opposite problem as you. the important thing to remember is that when your body weight plateaus (and it will at some point), that you don't give up. keep going and make it a lifestyle change. good luck!

Magamar Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 As everyone else has said above losing 10lbs is a great achievement and, if you don't mind, I'm going to use what you've achieved as an incentive for me to lose weight too. Over the past year or so I've put on just under a stone and although I've dabbled at losing the excess weight during that time I've just not managed to shift any of it at all. This is mainly due my own lack of will power over a sustained period. Thanks to your post however I've decided that now is the time to do something about it and really make that extra effort. Thanks for the inspiration Link to comment
rocio Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Way to go! I like the fact that you are congratulating yourself. Why don't you take some time to enjoy the 'new you' before pushing yourself to lose even more? 6 weeks is really fast. Are you doing it through healthy means? Good Luck! Link to comment
Zoe100 Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 10 pounds IS a lot. A fun thing my mom did when she was losing weight was to list something that was 10 pounds when she lost it. like a sack of potatoes or whatever is 10 pounds. And then something 20 when you lose 20. It's amazing!! Good job! Link to comment
Stinkweed Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Wow how u did it help me too . Enlighten us. I want to know too. I'm a dude, and I wanna lose about 10-15 pounds of fat... And 6 weeks sounds like a good/healthy timing. So congrats. Link to comment
coollady1957 Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Congrats on your weight loss. Ten pounds in 6 weeks sounds like a healthy rate for losing to me. I have always heard that between 1 - 2 pounds a week is healthy but no more than that in a weeks time. So yeah, 10 ten pounds in 6 weeks is good. I am currently trying to lose some more pounds myself but I have come to a bit of a plateau and am getting a bit discouraged. I am sure you will reach your goal and I am pulling for you.
