So I'm 43 and have the same story as many other women. I've been overweight for virtually my entire life, and over the decades it's only gotten higher: I left high school weighing 180 pounds. A couple years later, work stress sent it to about 210. It was stable at that point for a few years, and in my mid-20s I lost a fair chunk of it over the course of one summer because I started running. Then I injured my foot and lost all motivation to exercise, although I've always been a hobby walker, as it were. (To clarify: for the better part of a decade - generally the entirety of my 20s, I walked all over creation - I literally would walk for a few hour every day. The caveat being that it was a leisure activity. Aside from that few months one summer, I was never seriously active ). But even though I wasn't bothering to control my food intake, I think the walking actually provided me with real benefit as far as cardiovascular health, even though the weight itself never c...

I lost 120lbs from 280 to a healthy bmi in about a year, after being morbidly obese since 9 y/o. I saw so much about how it likely wouldn't be that bad after losing the weight, but it is... :( My breasts sag so badly they constantly hurt, even with a bra. I have no natural support at all. It's not severe pain, but it messes up my sleep. Hurts BAD in the cold too, winter has me terrified!! I've seen some folks say men are more cool with it than you'd expect, but every single man near my age I've trusted enough to see me has been really turned off, even if he tried to hide it. One guy quietly pulled my shirt back down and sat back. Another freaked out and started treating me like a damn fallout ghoul. I do get being turned off by it, it's pretty unusual, but it hurts a lot... I've given up on dating until I can afford to at least fix my chest. Though, by the time I have enough saved to do that, it'll be normal to be wrinkly. Maybe medical tourism when w...

I generally handle sticking to my plan fairly well when I feel good, but when I'm tired, or feeling depressed, I just tend to go "fk it" and eat. And drink. I don't think its stress so much as just feeling down and flat. I'm not talking diagnosed depression, just those times you get really flat and...sad. Take the last few weeks, I was really on track. I downloaded libra app and while I wasn't quite on track with my goal, I was trending the right way, then I have 3 bad days in a row and manage to gain back all the weight I'd lost in the 2 1/2 weeks leading up to that. I know thats a short timeframe, but it's pretty much a pattern. My attempts to lose weight tend to look like a heart beat monitor with a gentle down line then a sharp up-line back to where I started. I know what I need to do to lose weight, but when I get into that headspace it's like a voice says "screw it" and there's no argument against it. I assume I'm not al...

So I had quite a bit of fun tonight and thought I'd share it with somebody. I started out doing lifts. taking a 39 pound object from the floor to over my head as high as possible and back down again. did this for a while before doing a bit of an obstacle course while powerwalking mixed with the closest thing to running I do. impressed by me having fun with such a boring sounding workout? now for the real story. played "superman" with my 39 pound smiling, laughing, squirming toddler until HE was tired of it. then proceeded to chase him around the house until he turned the tables and chased me around the house. dashed through the hall, u-turned in his room, through the hall again, then picked my way through the explosion of toys in the living room around the coffee table, then back through the hall to do it all over again and again and again. I tired out my super energetic toddler lol. I can't believe it. Just because you're a parent, doesn't mean you can...

I saw results I was really happy with during my first efforts. I would love to see myself lose 50 pounds by my birthday in April 2021. My ultimate goal is to be down 100 pounds by my 30th birthday, April 2022. I am going to practice CICO and mindful eating primarily. I am going to begin with IF 16:8 (did that last time too), and then practice getting in at least 40 minutes of physical activity every day. For now, just long outdoor walks, as well as indoor YouTube sessions to get my heart rate up. I would love to join a gym and visit with a personal trainer eventually. Here it goes!

So about two weeks ago when I started calorie counting I set my goal as 1780 - while for the first week I was eating over 3000 calories per day. I was pretty discouraged even though I was telling myself it was a starting educational tool. I read someone's post (wish I could link it but I've lost it now) saying they plugged maintenance calories into the app as the goal, and just tried to stay underneath that every single day. Well I have done that the last few days and it has been a HUGE game changer for me, psychologically. My goal is now ~2200 calories, I don't input any exercise, and I aim to just undercut my budget. It feels so good even just for the last 2 days to have a green circle without a huge red indent in it. I'm also not hungry or thinking about food 24x7 as I was when I was trying to eat within 1780 calories. My weight loss will probably be a lot slower - maybe 2 lbs a month if that - but I would almost rather it be really slow, so slow that it doesn't...

Hello losers, What a month. It feels like it flew by. Dang yo. Sign up post is up for next month! https://redd.it/j2zf46 Weight by end of month (199 lbs, preferably trend weight): Maintained this month. I'm not thrilled but given everything going on, it's way better than a previous version of me would have done. Stay within calorie range (1500 weekdays, maintenance weekends, NO FAST FOOD): Not fabulous this month. I gave into the fast food monster too much. I will do better. Exercise 5 days a week: Did okay here. Will keep striving. 20/30 days. Self-care journaling (once a week, 60 minutes): I need to be spending more time here just because mental health wise it's been a struggle. Self-care time (working on love journals, beauty treatments, staying on top of adulting, drawing 11/22 days): I'll give myself a C on this. I will keep striving if you will kids! Try a new recipe once a week: Only did 3 this month. I will keep building up the recipe book! 50 pages of...

Hey I have started to go to the gym every 2 days so I am looking for some great motivational podcasts. I am currently listening to JRE which is great when he has athletes or health experts. I notice that I have a great session when they are talking about working out and/or being healthy. I would love to find a few shows that I can listen to that will keep me in the right headzone. Most shows keep talking about how terrible the world is right now and that doesn't help keep me positive and up-tempo. I don't have a workout buddy as I prefer to workout at 5am....... nobody wants to work out at that time ha ha!. All I have is podcasts so please help! submitted by /u/ThaWigsta [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/j2yuk5/motivational_podcasts/

June 2, 2019, I waddled my 420-pound body up Clifton Hill in Niagara Falls. My wife and I have taken an annual road trip for our anniversary every year since getting married in 2014. Our 2019 trip was special as it was the first time I had ever spent the night outside of the United States. I had always been fairly athletic despite my size. I played basketball and tennis almost every day growing up. My diet, however, was horrific. I lived off Hot Pockets and ice cream. But exercising every day at least kept me from ballooning as a teenager. Then adulthood came, and the perceived time I had for exercise was replaced with work and chores. Leisure no longer felt like a priority. Walking never felt like a challenge, and the walk from our hotel to the falls wasn’t hateful as it was downhill. But returning from the falls, I was gassed. The simple act of walking had fatigued me to the point that I had to stop. I was shameful. I had never really felt “unhealthy” until this point. Shamers ...

Hi everyone. 19 f around 260lbs here. I really would like advice on how to get started on my journey. I have seen so many positive responses on here about getting started and people supporting each other which is what motivated me to make this post. I often lose my motivation because I tend to plan unrealistically. I am in college right now so of course budget is tight in regards to purchasing foods, so this often makes it harder for me to think of healthy food to get that is also affordable. Also, I do not know where to start with exercise; I think walking is a start but I also am really excited and intrigued in getting muscle. I want to lose weight to be a better me and feel better about myself as well as have better health. I would appreciate positive responses. :) submitted by /u/Novel_Reporter [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/j2yars/weight_loss_help/

F 5’4” SW: 210, CW: 166, GW: 150 Okay so I’ve been losing weight for around 9 months, and I’ve lost 45ish so far. I was doing really great for a while, but I haven’t made any progress in the last 2 months! I keep bouncing around the same 3 pounds and it never gets better. I keep track of my food religiously, and I even have a chart where I track caloric deficits. According to this chart, I should have lost 5 pounds since I started it. I only have like 15 more to go, and I want to cry because I just want to be done waiting for a body that will never seem to come. I walk every day for around 2 hours and lift weights 3x a week. I’m vegetarian, so I try to drink protein shakes/ eat eggs to meet my protein goal every day. I have regular maintenance days where I eat exactly how many calories I burn. I haven’t gone to the gym at all this week because I’m convinced it just does more damage than good. I’m at a really low spot right now and I just need some help submitted by /u/Diana-...

I am 30F, 160cm and 56kg. I am a little chubby but within normal BMI range. I store a lot of fat in my breasts and thighs, which I have read doesn't affect metabolic health too much. However, I also store fat in my lower belly. From my bra band to my bellybutton, it appears flat and normal. But from my bellybutton to my underwear band, I have a fat roll. I have read that central obesity (storing fat in abdomen) is a condition of metabolic syndrome. Then I heard from a friend that women often store fat in their lower belly to protect their reproductive organs. I have no idea is this is true or fake news though. My cholesterol and blood pressure levels are all normal, as is my fasting blood sugar level, which sits around 4.5 - under the 5.6 threshold for prediabetes (I qualify for annual BSL tests because of family history - my grandmother had T2D). So currently my only indicator of metabolic syndrome is the abdominal fat - but is this a concern or is it true that women can or s...

Hey y’all, second time poster here. I started the top of 2019 at 330 and began working with a nutritionist May 2019. This weeks weigh in was 273.4-the weight is going down ☺️ I’d reached the point a while ago where my body is pretty used to the new eating habits and can’t handle junk/heavily processed foods well. I do have one hopeful note for folks working on weight loss, better eating habits, etc: when you slip up or have an off day/week/month, give yourself some grace and get back on when you can. Plus, the more you stick to it the more your body will nudge you and tell you what you need to do. More the than 2 days without a green will have my body like “girl...get it together”.

i have always been the „fat friend“. It never really bugged me too much because after all people wanted to have me around because of my personality rather than my looks. however - as you all might have experiences as well - being overweight in this society is very difficult (speaking as a woman here but it‘s the same for every human being). This starts with small stuff like buying jeans and ends with big things like bullying. i was at a bad place, felt left behind because all my friends were healthy, fit, they moved more and spend more time outside - i have always been the lazy friend you‘d visit after a run because she lives en route. So i decided to change. After a wonderful summer holyday in italy i threw away all the trash food (or gave away what hasn‘t been opened yet), bought nutritious alternatives. I did research, learned about dieting, learned about why one could fail and learned about how one could succeed and for me it all boiled down to one thing: determination. for the...

I work from home anyway, but do set hours. My boss knows I've been losing weight and is supportive. (now I'm 35lbs down). In summer I've been doing a 10km dog walk that takes me 2hours 20 minutes atm. I'll get that down but it's through woods etc so not the quickest anyway. I've been able to do that in the evenings, but the nights are now drawing in I can't. I asked if I could take a longer lunch (12-3) and do it then. I'm senior and work long hours (usually log on at 6 and finish at 4 with a couple of small breaks) but, not only did he instantly agree but he suggested we get a group together for COVID weightloss at work. I just thought I'd put a happy post up. submitted by /u/Dogwarden [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/j2ikdh/my_work_and_boss_are_so_supportive/

My weight loss isn't as dramatic as some but I'm still proud. Last year I was able to go from 68kg (150lbs) to 58 kg(128lbs). It was a lot of getting up at 6am to run on the treadmill, daily salads and avoiding boozy nights like a limbo pole, but I managed it! My height is 162cm (5'3) so I'm now smack bang in the middle of a healthy BMI. My waist measurement is in the healthy range and all my other vitals are perfect. I know I should be happy. And I am! But I set myself a goal which was 55kg. No matter what I've tried, it's stayed at a plateau all of this year. I know that resistance training helps so I've been doing 40 minute sets three days a week with five days cardio. I've bumped up my walking to 12k steps a day. I'm keeping track of my calories with an average of 1500 a day but my weight just. Won't. Budge! I know weight isn't everything and there are other ways to measure things. But I'm a completionist. I want that rush of sati...

I mentioned this in an other post, but since so many people liked the idea I thought I would share it in a seperate post. Now that so many of us are working from home incidental exercise has been cut out of our daily routines. For many of us we walked to the train each morning to get to work, or walked to the bus or even walked to work. Now that work is mostly at home this seemingly insignificant exercise has been lost, but no exercise is ever insignificant and it adds up. The solution: fake commute to work every morning and make it part of your routine. Everyday before I sit down at my desk I take a 30-40min walk around the park and listen to my audiobook and treat myself to a coffee. This way I can start my day with some exercise and start my day right by getting in the mindset of work. I find that it helps me clear my head, mentally prepare and gives me a bit of energy to kickstart the day. If you dislike walking, or cannot seem to find the time of day to do it I recommend fake...

Hi everyone, I’m a 24 y/o female, 5’3 and I weigh 160 pounds. I’m not obese but I’m definitely overweight. I went to a dietician to help me with my cravings and to get a grip on my eating habbits. After being on prednisone it’s out of control. When I started at the dietician practice I was 154 lbs. I got down to 147. Unfortunately I started a habbit of emotional eating the past few months and went back up to 158. I was ready to do better, to be better. I was motivated. I ate what I was suppose to eat, I lifted weights 4-5 x a weak and I made sure I would get to at least 10.000 steps a day. I felt better and looked better. Unfortunately when I went back to her for a weigh in... I had gained 2 pounds. She said it might be muscle. But that’s nog realistic right? Can there be another explanation? I’m feeling pretty bumped... we started to track my fat percentage. Anyway, does anyone have tips ? She put me on a low carb diet wich is focused around protein. What is your ultimate weight...

A weird thing happened to me today. It’s weird because I have been on and off dieting all my life. It’s something I know, but never actually paused and really thought about it. Backstory: I’ve never been crazy overweight, and I do hit my goals eventually. Just never on target or even close to target. I’m what you would call a wheel spinner. 2 steps forward, 4 steps back. “Ok I’ll make up for it” mentality. 4 steps forward, 2 steps back. The cycle goes on and on until I eventually, and very stressfully - hit the goal. I don’t know why just now after all these years this simple and very obvious fact dawned on me. As I was plowing down around 5,000 calories on my cheat day Sunday, here I go again. “I’ll make up for this during the week.” And I do... but I lose 3 days of progress making up for my temporary pleasurable decision. I won’t be making progress again until Thursday. This is where the epiphany set in. I can keep eating and eating and just put days and days of progress behind ...

Now im about 45lbs from my goal weight, M14 SW260, GW190, CW235. So I figured that I would share why I lost weight and am currently losing weight. I have a couple of reasons, the least important of which would be for vanity and to get a girlfriend. But the biggest reason would be to release my emotional turmoil and pain that surrounds my weight. Ive always been the big kid in school, I weighed 190lbs in 3rd grade and didn't aknowledge my weight until some time later. It wasn't until about 5th grade or 6th grade when I became truly self aware and very looks concious about myself. There is just that feeling of constant sadness and having to hide behind the mask of being the funny fat kid that isn't actually funny and is just annoying. I could handle the bullying and the teasing because to me it wasn't the words that were said that hurt because when I was called a fat ass or fat fuck it was just confirming something I already knew. But the words that went un spoken hurt t...

i never post anything on reddit, but i seriously have no idea what to do anymore. i'm 14(f), 5'4, and 63.5 kg, and i cannot lose weight no matter what i do (trying to get to 50-55). i went from 79 kg to this, and completely stopped losing weight. i've been around the same weight for maybe half a year now and nothing i do changes it. eating 1500 cals, 500 cals, 800, tried to eat 2000 to maybe fix my possibly slow metabolism, i tried everything. i tried doing very intense excerise but i always give up in 2 weeks bc of depressive episodes. what do i do? sorry if i'm not doing this right, i don't use reddit much,, thanks in advance if anyone responds to this :] submitted by /u/comradefati [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/j2f7a2/running_out_of_options/

I started my health journey on July 9th after my birthday cause I just knew it was time for me to get healthy, so I started. I got a PF membership then August 19th I got a kickboxing membership. So I go to either kickboxing or the gym 5-6 days a week and make sure to walk ATLEAST 10k steps and workout for atleast 30 minutes even if it’s just dancing around for 30 min. I intermittent fast and try to eat healthy and eat a lot of protein. I wanna share this somewhere.

I have a new fear/motivation to lose weight, I just realized my increased risk for skin cancer and lymphatic cancer due to my life long medicine. I figure, since this medicine is the thing that increases my risk, I'm going to be close to death again eventually. So I HAVE to lose 30-45lb to be at an ideal weight. I lost 5lb from my last venting post, and I hopefully now have enough drive and, frankly right now, fear, to go to the gym every single day until I'm healthy again. I'm starting tomorrow morning/early afternoon, and on the 1st I'm gonna start posting on the accountability thread.

To start with, let’s get the disclaimer out of the way: THIS IS NOT MEDICAL ADVICE. I don’t know you or your particular situation. Your doctor should. This is why this post is about going to them. Now that that’s out of the way, welcome to the post! These are some reasons why you want to see your doctor when you start a diet, and who especially may want to call them. They will not have amazing, individualized diet advice. They can refer you to a dietitian if that’s something you’re interested in, though! Your weight has given you a medical condition that you don’t know about. This could be any number of things, from high blood pressure, to diabetes, to NAFLD (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease). They can check for all of these things on your labs, and let you know how best to treat those. Also, your weight loss may be at least partially due to a treatable disease! (Or a med that they put you on.) This goes into point 2: Your diet plan is going to harm your health, somehow. ...

As the headline says, last night I caved in and ate two (big) cookies that my housemate had baked. They were absolutely fantastic, but I was so annoyed at myself for eating two when one would have sufficed. I was so full after one and a half so I beat myself up for finishing. This is my third week of my diet, and it’s been going great so far. I walk everyday for 30-40min as part of my physio and eat 1200cal ish per day. I don’t fuss too much if I go over a little bit, and let myself have a restaurant meal with my family on Fridays. To kick start my journey I told myself I would not weigh in until after five weeks, and my gauge for progress was clothes and images that I would try on and photograph again after the initial five weeks. After last nights defeating blow I said screw it to my initial 5 week plan and tried on the clothes and took photos. And my god! The change is so noticeable already! Everything fits better but there is still ways to go until they fit nicely but this has d...

Starting this journey to healthier me. My wife of 10+ years just moved out said she was unhappy and no longer attracted to me. We have 2 kids together and I am devastated. I can’t decide if mentally I’m doing this for me or to try to win her back. Hopefully this is some sort of wake up call and the changes will be real and permanent. However I do miss her and wish that we could be husband and wife again. I’m scared to go on the scale and see what it says. Not sure what the best route is, I’ve been waking up early and walking on the treadmill followed up with a smoothie in the morning (fruits and veggies). I’m reminded of a movie I watched when I was a teenager “American Beauty” and Kevin Spacey’s character starts running with his neighbors and they ask him why he wants to get in shape and he simply responds “I want to look good naked!” submitted by /u/Booya7156 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/j2bthf/wife_just_left/

So I'm a large dude and I sweat when I start exercising. If youre familiar with gym wear you may know Under Armor generally makes solid, albeit expensive products. This mask you can buy costs $30 and is NOT worth the cost. If you're a sweater and you've worked out you likely get it, masks start choking you once they get super wet (your own personal waterboarding experience, delightful!) So I thought perhaps this masks would do better for me, it did not. It choked me the same way my $5 masks did and also left a horrible taste in my mouth even after washing it. The ear loops are also made from the same material as their shirt which means as time goes on these will loosen. The mouth and nose are a thick comforter-like material to not only overheat you but expedite the whole choking issue. Even if you ARENT a super-sweater they also don't allow returns. I ended up talking to my bank and im trying to dispute the charge. In case you're wondering what I do, I bring ...

I'm looking for hope in this post. I am calling to the heavens for the willpower to keep this going. I've been tracking calories on Lose It! In a month I've gotten no where. I haven't gained, but instead I've just yo-yo'd the same 5 pounds. I've lurked in all the subs. I've seen so many yummy looking meals. Healthy, whole food meals. It still doesn't stop me from overeating on junk. Sweets and carbs are my enemies. Fast food is another. I crave them like a fucking addict. It effects my mood, even. I find myself in a shitty or restless mood until I finally cave. I see people often saying that after eating good, whole foods for a while, that junk food and sugar seems unappealing if they decide to indulge. That they don't have the cravings anymore, or rarely. Did this happen to you? Do you truly find you crave "junk" less? I look at myself now and that seems so hard to imagine. I want to crave those healthy foods. I want to eat health...

I started strength training with a coach at the end of August and I've never loved something so much! I train twice a week, I've adjusted my eating habits, more fiber and protein.

I need to lose about 75 lbs, and I'm not sure where to start. I'm planning to track what I eat on My Fitness Pal, but I don't love cooking and I can't really figure out what to buy at the grocery store. I eat out for most meals (lots of fast food, pizza, sushi, etc.), and anytime I buy food to cook I never feel motivated to actually cook it (I'm also dealing with some depression issues which I know are a big part of the problem). I recently decided to start buying frozen dinners for my lunches, but they're not very satisfying and that got boring really quickly. I'm mentally preparing myself to begin my weight loss journey on October 1st, so I'm going to the grocery store tomorrow. What are some quick, easy meals and snacks that have helped you stay on track and lose weight? And for those of you who initially had a lot of weight to lose, how did you start to change your lifestyle knowing that it would take a long time to start seeing results? I'm fe...

I’ve been trying to lose the 10-15 pounds I’ve been carrying my whole life that tip me into overweight territory (F22, 5’4.5”, SW: 160 CW: 152 GW: 140). Peaked at 160 about a year ago and then started cutting cals (1200-1500 with moderate to heavy exercise everyday) and have been maintaining within a couple pounds of 150 since covid hit. Only within the last month or so have I been getting back into the groove of actively trying to lose weight or focusing in on calories and activity. I work out every day for one hour or more; sometimes I am outside all day for my job and sometimes I am sedentary all day. My workouts consist of 30 minutes of vinyasa yoga and 30-45 minutes of some low impact HIIT/weight training depending on what muscles I want to target (upper body, core, or lower body) or if I’m craving some cardio. I track my macros and am eating very well (I.e. I’ve managed to transition my diet to actually being balanced as opposed to all carbs :)) - rarely processed stuff and I h...

20M/6’2/230lbs here. So when I first moved from the USA to Japan my diet was pretty crap, I overindulged in their carb-heavy foods if you will. This plus my lack of working out led from me to go from 170 to 230 over the course of a year. I knew I had gained weight, but didn’t expect it to be that much when I checked my weight on the scale for the first time in months. I’ve been working out all summer, since the beginning of June. 4-5 days a week of relatively intense workouts outdoors that last about 35-40 minutes. I decided to check my weight again the other day, but the number was exactly the same as it was before. My diet is pretty standard, usually my breakfast is scrambled eggs with some vegetables and a cup of coffee. If I eat lunch (50/50) it’ll usually be a chicken wrap. We have a cafeteria where I work so I try to grab whatever’s available. Same for dinner. I also drink 2L of water a day at least. And green tea. I don’t drink soda and fried foods are rare for me. What coul...

Here's how my "weight loss goals" have gone lately. ​ I'm not trying hard enough. That's the truth. I'm still eating too much, I'm still not counting everything in MyFitnessPal, and I'm not trying to cut the junk food out. I'm not being active enough. I could make excuses, because I have plenty of those (like I had a baby less than a year ago, or I'm trying to be a working mom, or I'm nervous about losing the weight now then gaining it again when we have our next planned pregnancy, or that the pandemic is stressing me out, or that I comfort-ate everything to cope with extraneous drama from an asshole-"friend," or that I used to have bulimia ten years ago so losing weight the safe way is "too hard" for me and I shouldn't even be trying) , but none of those excuses mean anything when I say them. And they don't matter as much as me wanting to be better. Ugh. Hi guys. Happy Tuesday. submitted by /u/youre13...

Obviously I knew I was obese. I avoided photographs so I never really saw it. My knees started to hurt and I realised that was weight related. I was out of breath and feeling tired all the time. Did I lose weight? No. The tipping point is embarrassing ;) I started watching an old American show Supernatural (unnaturally handsome men, fighting monsters whilst driving a cool car and listening to rock music), I'd never heard of either of the leads (I'm in the UK, we don't even show it). I realised that one of the leads, a 6ft 5in man (Jared Padalecki) built like a brick outhouse and an absolute UNIT of a man weighed less than me... That is my tipping point. To keep losing weight I remember this and I still remember that, at his lightest, I am STILL heavier than him... What is one of your "tipping point" moments? submitted by /u/Dogwarden [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/j1wvw4/things_that_made_you_stop_and_think_about_your...

For reference: 27F/5' 2"/SW: 147/CW: 140 Hi Loseit! I'm new here, and about a month into really committing to a weight loss journey/hopefully lifestyle change. I started at 147lb, and I'm down to 140 but very stubbornly staying at 140 over the past week or so. I do a 1200 calorie/day vegan diet (well-balanced, at least according to my apps) and have a somewhat active job but haven't been able to make myself make the time for true exercise since starting this. I've lost 7lb in almost a month now, which on paper seems to be faster than recommended but somehow in my head it just feels really slow. I can't connect that I'm actually seeing success and should be happy about it, I just feel disappointed when I weigh myself every morning and see the same number. I guess I'm looking for any insight on how to get past that need for instant gratification and be happy with slow, sustained weight loss. submitted by /u/lexicution17 [link] [comments] ...
