I'm female 5'9" about 180 pounds and 27 years old. I've gained about 40 pounds the last 2 years and it's taking a tole on me mentally and physically. I have arthritis so I really need to get back to the 145 range. I've been on a calorie defecit for only 5 days and it's so hard!!!! I'm trying to stay around 1,500 calories. The highest I've gone is 1,790. So my range is between 1,500-1,800 calories. I can't do much working out because of my arthritis and the little amount I can do basically burns NO calories so right now working out isn't even an option really. Could I expect to see any type of results in 3 months? I get discouraged very easily so if I don't even see any type of results in the first month I'm scared ill fail this defecit. I don't have a scale and don't plan on using one because I know that with mess with my mental state lol so just wondering if I'd be able to see any weightloss as quick as 1-3 months. If so that would really help motivate me by knowing!!I've never tried to lose weight and never known anybody that has and talked to me about it so I have no clue what to expect on my weightloss journey. I have a bad relationship with food so mentally this is hard because it's my answer to all my problems and I do have a history of binge eating but takes a long time for me to gain weight. People in my life are being mean saying I'm skinny enough already but my doctors are telling me to loose my extra fat on my stomach and thighs because it's going to hurt me in the long run due to arthritis. All of this is so hard.
