Hey Gabby....welcome to the board!
I know what you mean about the lbs.....when I was starting out it took 20-30 lbs for anyone to notice at all. Now, 5 lbs and everyone notices......and I can change a whole size in jeans sometimes. You can get there....just know that you have a lot of hard work ahead of you! Good luck on your journey. I hope the process goes smoothly for you.
