35 lbs lost in a year! Slow and steady.

Just wanted to say, that some weight loss is slower but it is still weight lost and reduced risk of of weight-related illness. My focus is my health and it's now quite a bit better. I am also no longer morbidly obese, something I haven't been for years now! I hope this will inspire others that have a lot to lose and busy lives and find it hard sometimes. With perseverance, it can be done. Good luck to all those others on a mission for health!

35 lbs is my goal exactly and I'm hoping to do it in a year! Thanks for letting me know it can be done

Thank you so much for posting this. You are truly an inspiration. It's easy to stick with the road to healthy when the payoff is immediate. It is much harder to stay on that path when the rewards are farther away. In your case it sounds like the reward is definitely there and you've succeeded in making a lifestyle change

This is something I been struggling with been going to the gym for 8 months and no weight loss actually alot of weight gain. I just recently changed my diet so hopefully something gives. I try to look at it for the health benefits but I really want to loose weight

That is slowly becoming my mindset - every pound lost is a pound I don't carry around anymore no matter how slow it is. I would love to lose 35lbs. Congrats OP to a job well done with consistency!

I have lost 30 lb each year for the past 2 years. Working on my third and hopefully last year til I get to my goal. (total of 90 lb lost) It has been a lifestyle change and one I know I can keep up with for the rest of my life. Congratulations!!!

Slow and steady is a-ok! Same way I'm attacking it. Keep up the good work!

Hello! Just re-read this almost a year later. Such kind and motivating words! I have kept going (with a few bumps in the road) and now lost 64lbs. Hopefully, it will be 70lbs by March! Hope you are all on track with your goals. Thanks again for the encouragement! :-D
