Great job Adam! I know losing weight is a struggle, particularly when a person LOVES to eat, like I do. But you can and will do it. 3 pounds is a great start and a fantastic weekly accomplishment.
A good nutritious diet and regular exercise will do wonders for a body. I have lost a net weight of 105 pounds (I guess that's about 7 1/2 stone) over the last 3 years with a goal of losing another 4 1/2 stone. Don't get discouraged when you plateau out at a steady weight for a while - that happens to most. Just stick with a practical nutritious diet and regular exercise.
Many who work on losing weight will lose some, gain a little back, then lose it and some more - for me it's like a small roller coaster, a general downward trend, but with small rises and plateaus. I set short term goals, and when I reach them, I reward myself with a treat like pizza or an ice cream sundae.
I think it's great that you're posting your progress - it's a great incentive to keep losing the weight. If you ever need anything I'm here - keep us posted.
You're on your way to a better and healthier life. Congratulations again on the first 3 pounds lost and Good Luck
