hurray

It's awesome and it is a great start!! Good for you! Always be proud of your accomplishments regardless of how small you think it is - Remember it all adds up. I was bummed because I kept losing at only a half a pound every other day and then all of a sudden I had realized wow that added up to fifteen pounds in one month!!! Look at the big picture we are in this for the long haul )

I count ounces (LOL) so 6 lbs is awesome! As HEALTHY said always by proud of your accomplishments!! She wrote it up beautifully! It DOES all add up and believe me when you get closer to reaching your final goal..you too will be counting ounces! Also, never get down if you go to those darn scales and you didn't lose a thing..they play games with you..the next time you get on maybe you will have a significant loss. Take care.

It funny how sometimes we feel like the scale is not moving because it is ounces. However, before we realize it....they have added up to pounds. I know I started at 313 and felt like I was stuck in the 290's. Now, in a very short time, I am down to 284. All of those small amounts add up! Keep on....it is fantastic to be going down instead of up!

thanks guys for your input,and to let you know i havent had surgery yet.just trying to lose a few on my own
