First time poster. Started at about 250lb (F, 172cm) and I’ve been on my journey for almost 6 weeks now - I’ve been working out with a trainer and improving my diet. Diet isn’t perfect but it is certainly better than before, still have room for improvement. I’ve been feeling really good lately, I feel stronger and can notice my endurance increasing during workouts. So these good feelings lead me to go on a hike today. The hike is rated as moderate but a lot of reviewers online say it’s easy for them, so I thought I’d be ok. Turns out I was NOT ok. I finished the hike from start to finish, but it was a slow process for me that required lots of breaks, but I was determined to get to the top of that mountain no matter how long it took. So on one hand, I am proud of myself for finishing because along the way I kept thinking about turning around and giving up. However, on the other hand, I feel kind of lousy. I saw so many people pass me on this hike - they seemed to be handling it like it was normal even-level walking for them. I guess in my mind I felt like I was stronger, but I definitely felt weak today.
So my question is - does this get easier? Will I ever get to a point where hiking feels less like hell? I just hate feeling like I can’t keep up and that my efforts aren’t helping.
