Rejectedturtle123 Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 Long version: a couple weeks ago I got back from a trip to France. It was absolutely incredible (and one big item off my bucket list!), but I felt kind of bad because, while I'm only a little bit overweight by American standards, I'm a hulking behemoth by French standards. Shortly after returning, I recommitted myself to the Rebellion. Rather than tackling everything at once (like I did on my first ill-fated venture), I opted to focus on eating a little bit better (no soda and cooking breakfast instead of cereal) and going running for 20-30 mins every other day (interval running is so much fun!). Today, on a whim, I weight myself and to my great surprise, I've lost a little over a pound (probably closer to 2 or maybe 3 since I weighed myself late at night). I didn't expect to get so excited over such a small amount of weight loss, but to lose at least almost 2 pounds in just a week or so is just unbelievable. This is the first time since last summer that I've weighed less than 220 lbs, and the fact that I'm actually making some measurable amount of progress is crazy awesome. Can't stop me now! Short version: weighed myself today, and I've actually lost some weight for the first time in my life. Long live the Rebellion! Quote The first time is always the hardest. Link to comment
enderatrd Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 Congrats. Keep up the good work. I've found reading and re-reading the top mistakes newbies make very helpful for keeping me on track with the Rebellion so far. Quote Link to comment
