getting discouraged by other's success??

I know what you're going through... kind of. I lost all this weight at first, now my weight hasn't budged for almost 2 months. Hopefully it will get better soon.

This may be overly direct, and I am sorry if it comes across as mean, but you need to hear it. The attitude of; others are doing better then me, so I might as well quit, is probably what has gotten you to where you are to start with. It's time to focus on you, focus on what you BEST is, and then give it. In life you have total control of your effort, and very little control of the results, so be true to yourself and put in the effort that will make you proud. Quitting will do nothing but lead to worse self esteem, and a life of poor health, so is that really worth it?

Change up your exercise pattern, adjust the foods you're eating, or just stay the course and be proud of slow and steady, it doesn't really matter, just KEEP PUSHING FORWARD. This is YOUR journey, not anyone elses. When you learn to be proud of who you are, and what you are doing, then you'll be able to put on blinders to what others are doing. Frankly it doesn't matter what others are doing...they aren't YOU.

Change your mindset, and you will change your life. The fact is, YOU ARE WORTH IT!

Now, quit your crying (playfully said), and get your butt in motion. Today is another perfect opportunity to give it your BEST!

haha, thanks, I did need that

Thanks everyone for the encouragement. You're right! I can't quit, after all this time of perseverance. I CAN do all things through Christ who strengthens me. To all of you who gave me that much needed kick in the pants, thanks. This sisn't an easy journey, if it was none of us would be here. I am going to try to start logging everything again, I fell away from it cause I got lazy, point blank. anyway, enough rambling, thanks everyone!!!!

I'm losing really slowly, but I am okay with it. I don't mind that I don't see huge losses, I see it as my body is learning how to adjust to everything. A lot of us here are losing slowly, I have a paper graph that I have up on my fridge with the "goal line" that goes diagonally from my starting weight to my goal weight, and then I plot my weight... and it is going in a downward angle too... not as precise as that hard dark line of the goal weight line, but it is going in the downward direction. Inspires me on my "off days". Give that a try for inspiration?
