Desperate to lose 25 lbs and stay motivated!

samantaggart

Hi! I've done MyFitnessPal a few times and usually lose anywhere from 2-10 pounds...and then eventually gain it back lol. I'm 5'10, 22 years old, type 1 diabetic, and 25 pounds away from my dream weight. I'm desperate to feel confident and healthy again. Trying to be part of this community to see if it helps keep me motivated!!

hey there

just curious: how long does it usually take for you to get back those pounds you've lost?

You might be encouraged by the fact that the pounds usually stay off for up to a year! It seems the pounds come back as soon as I fool myself into thinking that the weight loss is permanent without work.

Before and after pictures normaly keep me motivated, when you look back at old pictures and see what you looked like it helps keep you motivated

Good luck, my advice, is to focus on 1 lbs 25 times

You've definitely come to right community! Tracking your food & progress potos will help a ton!

Good luck. I've lost 110lbs since January 2016. Lost a majority within 8/9 months. I'm sure if I can do it then you certainly can! Certain you can keep them off this time also!
