I made a new year’s resolution this year to lose weight. I started at 265 at the beginning of the year. I have been making a lot of changes to my lifestyle, and I’ve been working really hard and very slowly losing weight. I am at 246 today, and I feel like my progress isn’t good enough. I spent 10 months really trying, and for what? Not even twenty pounds? I don’t really feel or look a lot different. I put in so much work and I feel really discouraged from continuing. How do you keep going? I feel like I’ll never get to a healthy weight.
I’m sure it took longer than 10 months to put on those ~20lbs initially.
You’re on the right track. Keep it up. You’re averaging at losing 1/2 lb a week. That seems like a very sustainable, healthy pace.
