Weight Loss

I weighed in this morning at 165. I'm 5'6", 27 y/o, female. 165 officially makes ten pounds lost - 7 of which came after joining CC in the middle of May. At first, I was put off by the slowness of the weight loss because I am so used to the yo-yo -- lose it fast, put it right back on...come on, there are probably more of us familiar with this than we would like to admit....but now I am feeling just SO GREAT. I know that ten pounds doesn't seem like much, but I can tell a HUGE difference. I can see it and feel it, and guess what? I've even noticed that I'm starting to get "checked out" on the street, on the train, again. It feels so awesome. I am PROUD that I am doing this right and that I KNOW FOR SURE that this time, I WILL keep it off. I owe it all to the awesome things I've learned on CC and to the continuing support I have received from other members. So thank you.

10 lbs is a dress size or 10 packages of butter -- think of sticking 10 packages of butter in your pants and you'll see 10 lbs is huge!  Congratulations

10 packages of butter! That's an awesome way to look at it. That's what I'm going to start telling people. I can hear it now...

"Natalie, you look great!"

"Oh, thanks! I've lost ten packages of butter!"
