Time will pass whether you do it or you don’t

If there is an entry in the dictionary under “very slow weight loss” my picture is probably beside it. I am the poster child of plateau, slow weight loss, frustration, trying this method and that method. My slow weight loss is probably because:
1- I have PCOS
2- I am 4’11’’
3- And I refuse to starve myself
140 lbs

Between those 2 pictures: about 12 pounds and 6 months. My weight loss graph is more like a roller coaster then a slide. Let me tell you that my slow weight loss was NOT because I didn’t log my food or didn’t work very hard in the gym!!! I worked so freaking hard every single days and I was seeing all those post “I lost 100 pounds in 7 months!!!!” and “I am at goal after 100 days”. I was happy for them….but was wondering why it was not happening to me to.

Weight loss = 19 pounds after 16 months

My weight loss has been very slow…..but I did not quit and the result is that I am healthier then I have ever been. Time will pass whether you do it or you don’t. How will you feel about yourself next month? Next Year? Better or worst….it is your choice

I understand, I have lost 19 pounds in about 200 days, however long that is. But I do not starve, I eat my exercise calories. But I'm happy and feel like this is something that I can keep up with the rest of my life. So congratulations. I think that some of the people that lose weight faster might be on a diet and not be able to keep up with it long term. I hope they can.

Great post.

So many times I've given up after a couple of weeks and then 6 months later wondered how I'd have looked had I just continued. Hpoefully, this time, I'll know the answer!

Great post - thank you so much! In the beginning I was losing pretty quick and steady. I have slowed down significantly and I know I can't give up.

You are an inspiration!

Absolutely!
If weightloss were easy and fast, no one would quit and everyone would be thin! You have to work for it... and it's really sinking in that it's going to take a while. All I have to do is keep doing what I'm doing right now... and things WILL change!
