Just to give a little perspective, my weight loss has been SLOW. As in molasses rolling down a hill of sand in winter SLOW.
I started at 335 in April. It is now September which means it has taken 5 months to lose a little over 40 pounds. I think I'm right on target as far as how permanent weight loss is supposed to go. That is an average of about 2 pounds a week which is exactly what the "textbooks" say is supposed to happen for the pounds to stay gone forever.
It's hard sometimes to stay focused when the numbers move so slowly but looking back on the time that has lapsed since April, I acknowledge that I very readily could have been doing NOTHING as opposed to doing SOMETHING and my weight would have still been 335 today.
It has helped me to keep that in mind when I feel discouraged.
