Wanting to quit every time I fail!
I also have yet to meet my second goal! I really struggle with quiting once I "fail" at anything. I had set my goal to 2 pounds a week and for the last 2 weeks I haven't lost a pound. :frown: Any advice? I am eating my calories right, but not ever working out. I know that I will have to start or I will not lose ANYTHING!…
