I agree with was has been said before. Don't minimize the 5 pound loss. 5 pounds is a lot. If you lift a 5 pound bag of flour or sugar you will wonder how you ever carried that around on your body! Congratulations! Keep up the good work!

I'm glad I could help. I guess that's why we joined spark, to help ourselves stay motivated and have people to get us back on track. Good luck!

Great!!! Do not make light of a 5 pound loss. It is a big deal. Just pick up a 5 pound weight and it will give you a good feel for what 5 pounds feel like. Congratulations on your loss and keep it going.

Thanks so much for the offers of congratulations. I know 5 pounds isn't huge for most people, but it is for me. Thanks for the tip on how to find the images; it's silly, but now I actually feel like I've done something.

Have a great weekend!

Okay, so it has been a slow go of it, but I finally lost my first 5 pounds! I know this is going to sound crazy, but I've been so jealous of other people's symbols that note benchmarks of weight that they lost, like 5 pounds. How do I get that? I've checked the goodies, but it's not there. I was so excited to put one up, and I think it will inspire me, but I can't find it.
Yes, I do know that I shouldn't care about it because I know I lost it, but oh well, I do!
