I'm down 25 pounds. I started in January. I'm using My Fitness Pal to help track my progress.
One thing I've found is that making small changes that I can keep past my journey takes a while. I was doing Overnight Oats at first but with the Rona causing havoc they never have any rolled oats at my Walmart. Not even at Target. So I have to do something different. But I feel if I had lost a bunch of weight fast if this happened I would be freaking out and I would gain some weight back. But since I'm going slow I can make adjustments. So now I'm eating. 260 Calorie frozen Breakfast burrito and an apple. Not the best option but I figured I'd switch it up a bit.
Also I've found that slow progress helps you adjust your eating habits. My fitness pal reduces my caloric limit after a I hit a mark. Which allows me to more easily make adjustments so my body doesn't experience the shock of eating significantly less than normal and I run the risk of binging. Speaking of binging when I did binge I found myself binging less and not really enjoying eating large volumes like I used to. It seems that me treating my body better and experiencing how I used to treat my body, turned me off from treating my body like that again. I may still have the desire to eat large volumes but not as large as I used to and even then I've trained myself to be able to resist going to far over my caloric limit. The most I go now is about 500 over. On a bad day.
It's still difficult, but going too fast too soon would have made my progress even harder.
