I'm a few months in, down around 22, and honestly the slow stretch after my first big drop had me lurking here for motivation too. Glad you're here on day one instead of finding it the way I did.

Nice to see another newbie. I'm over a year in and down 55 lbs myself, and honestly threads like this kept me going through the slow weeks. Stick around, the people here really know their stuff.

Welcome! Reading through other people's first-week posts here kept me from panicking over every little thing when I started, and I'm down 13 lbs since. Stick around, it gets easier to talk about the weird stuff the longer you're here.

Day one is a good place to catch the before-and-after stories in these threads early. I'm still early myself, four pounds down, but reading what folks wish they'd known starting out saved me some confusion in my first weeks. Stick around, it gets easier to see your own progress once you see it in others.

Welcome! I was where you are not long ago, now about 28 lbs gone, and the search bar here saved me more than once when something new popped up. Jump into threads and ask anything, people actually answer.

Hi and welcome, glad you're here early. I'm not far off from a year myself, down about 47 lbs, and the searching-back-through-old-threads thing is real - whatever question hits you at week three, someone here already typed it out two years ago.

Glad you found this place early. I'm down around 60 lbs and the archive of past threads here honestly got me through some weird weeks in the beginning. Seconding the just-ask approach, nobody made me feel dumb for anything I posted.

#19

The intro threads here are a nice low-pressure way to get oriented -- I lurked a while before posting. I'm down 35 lbs and honestly the maintenance folks' posts kept me from panicking when my loss slowed around the six month mark. Stick around, it pays off.
