I’m pretty sure I’ve done this. I’ve been stationary biking my ass off lately. I’ll have to hop on the Wii Fit scale to be sure, but I’m 99% that i’ve lost at least 5 lbs.
How to lose 5lbs.
How I did it: When I moved to Uni my Halls of Residence were a half an hour walk away from my University, so every week day I would walk there and back. I rarely got the bus even in the rain and wind because the walk was so easy, it was completely flat.
Being a student I was on a food budget. No one should take my advice on healthy eating but I usually had cereal for lunch, a rice meal (eg, chilli con carne) for dinner, a Muller-corner yogurt for dessert and I'd have a snack later of toast or an apple with a hot chocolate.
(And every now and then I binged on lucozade.)
I dropped about 15lbs in 3 months without even trying. Not the best story but it made me very happy to feel and see the difference!
Lessons & tips: Walking is great exercise, even if it's on the flat and only for 45 minutes.
I can't claim to have eaten healthily but I wasn't necessarily bad either, just in moderation.
I don't drink alcohol more than once a month, I think not drinking alcohol aids weight loss a lot!

I sure picked a wonderful day to start this. My left trapezius muscle is F’in killing me. Diet over Exercise today. I’m telling you right now.
i am so fat, i don’t even want to get on the scale. I kinda did at my mom’s a few days ago fully clothed and shod, and I was over 240 lbs.
UGH.
It’s time to drop from lose 20lbs to 5. All my other goals are stepped and reachable. So, let’s hit 5lbs first, before we worry about 10lbs, and 20lbs after 10 lbs, etc.
As of Friday I had lost 3 lbs. However, I ate really really poorly this weekend, so I’m sure it’s all back. The good/bad thing is that working out is turning some of that fat to muscle, and the muscle weighs more than the fat, so I might actually be doing SOME good here.
Yesterday was my first serious day trying to lose weight. I’ve started exercising, I won’t eat anything after 9pm, and I’ve switched to Rice Krispies for lunch.
We’ll see how it goes.
I’ve really got to start this. I was almost completely out of Pants That Fit this morning.
That’s a terrible sign. Hopefully it will be a great motivator though.
