Every Wednesday I'll be stepping on my scale. Eek!
This morning - WOW - I am so excited to report my week one loss. Are you ready? I can barely believe this. 12 Pounds!!! Twelve! Holy Cannoli! I understand that the biggest loss happens in week one and this is not going to be typical. I was hoping for 5 or 6 or even 7...but 12? And, yes, I know it's mostly "water weight", but heck, that's 12 pounds of water that ain't gonna be on my bod ever again.
One very important note: I do not want this to discourage anyone. Trust me, 12 pounds is a small percentage of the total that I need to loose. If you want to loose 30 or 40 pounds, losing 2 or 3 pounds in the first week is amazing. When I get the courage to share my actual weight with you, you'll understand that 12 lbs is really just a drop in the bucket for me. That's why I'm taking this is small, achievable steps and celebrating all the little victories along the way. I have to. It's too overwhelming otherwise.
WAY TO GO LEIGH!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, 12 pounds! That's really awesome! You should be so proud of yourself and feeling terrific!!!! You go, girl! :)
*happy dance* Great job!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is sooooo exciting! You go sister! I have lost 30lbs. so far but that is a drop in the bucket for me. It is funny now when I look at pictures from 5 years ago I thought I was sooo fat and now I wish I looked that good. Sigh...
ReplyDeleteIt is a new day and on we go.
Congrats - that's awesome!! You've already surpassed your monthly goal in ONE WEEK! Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteFantastic Leigh! Dont downplay that loss. 12 lbs is 12 lbs whatever way you look at it. Weigh out 12 lbs of something - feathers, coins, butter - whatever - that is ALOT!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations and keep it up :-)
Thank you, ladies. xoxoxoxoxoxo
ReplyDeleteThat's fabulous Leigh! And yes, I agree with Karen - 12 pounds is 12 pounds :)
ReplyDeleteIt may only be a drop in the bucket but its a great incentive to keep going! Keep up the good work!!
ReplyDeleteFantastic! Congratulations!
