[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't brag about this IRL, and it's not much to brag about really, but for the past 4+ weeks I've been using a calorie counter and haven't missed a day of logging.

It's helped me curtail eating, and I'm losing just about 2 lbs a week - which is right on track, but also feels slow.  I have 50 lbs to lose before I'm where I will feel good, and 65'ish to lose to really be where I should.  So it's a long road at 2lbs a week.

But, today I put on a pair of pants that had gotten too tight and they fit comfortably!  So even with this small, barely 9 lb loss, I'm seeing progress.  And for the first time ever I've managed to keep up w/ the daily logging and thoughtful/restrained consumption.

So I'm really proud of myself for sticking with it and just wanted to crow about it somewhere I felt it would be ok.

Thanks for indulging me![/quote]

Dp  I am on the same journey, my friend!  I was wondering have you checked with your doctor on how much you should weigh?  The reason I ask is I thought I had to lose more weight but my doctor gave me a higher number.  for example, I thought I needed to be 130 but they told me 145.  Also, I am tracking too and food is now not as fun or enjoyable.  But, this is my life from now on out if I want to be healthy.  Have you found the same?  Just seeking commiseration, I suppose.  So far, I have lost 13 pounds, two every week except last week I lost six pounds which was too much in retrospect.

Congratulations though ![/quote]
