    Smile Could I Have a Heart?

    I finally lost my first 5 pounds of my 25 pound goal.

    I cut out sugar almost entirely, drank water instead of diet soda, and stopped eating heavily salted snacks.

    The result ... 5 pounds just dropped right off much quicker than I thought it would with plain dieting alone!

    I can't see a difference yet but it feels better when I step on the bathroom scale!

    Here is the link for hearts. This link is stickied as well in the LFL forum, that way each time you lose 5 lbs. you can change your heart.

    Congratulations! I try not to eat potato chips or other salty snacks and instead of soda I buy flavored water by the case from Aldis and drink that instead. If I run out of the flavored water I will pour lemon juice in my ice water and sometimes I sweeten it with Splenda.

    My weight and my blood pressure is much better because of what I've been doing.

    Thanks, I figured out how to install the avatar - now I have my heart!

    Looking forward to changing it to 10lbs. as soon as is healthy and possible!
