Did i really lose 2 pounds?

[buttercup7676]

Ok so I know 2 pounds may not seem like a big deal to many people, but I'm pretty excited about it.
I have not had the surgery yet as I am just starting this journey, but after one week of changing my eating habits and logging everything I eat I stepped on the scale this morning and I am down 2 pounds.
I just thought I would share this here as I feel like most or all of the people here would understand my excitement. Most others won't get it.

I understand your excitement! I'm very happy for you. I have journaled all of my life, since I was about 11. I love that you're using a paper journal to track everything. I still encourage you to use the Bariatastic app for part of your tracking...maybe just your weight and measurements for now. It's so motivational see the progress data that it keeps track of! If you don't want to, that's cool, of course. I am just finding that it's not time-consuming, it's easy to use, and it's very helpful for me. I even use it during my busy teaching days to track food and water. Here are screenshots from today in my app. Id never remember this all on my own and I'd have to spend time each day and week analyzing numbers and working out my progress. This app does it for me. I even have reminders in here for my vitamins and supplements and Dinky's lymphoma medications. I am so happy for you!!
