Thank you for the great post! You are so right on all the things you said and it helped me get through a rather tough night. I was feeling quite discouraged because of the thought of how slow this is going and also knowing why it is going this slow and knowing if I had done better and not given up all the many times in my past I would be at the weight that I should be frght now. So thank you!
45 pounds is awesome and with your mindset and determination I know you will make your goal!
Thanks again!

Great post and excellent progress.

I started off with many of the same approaches partly because I didn't think I could keep up a strict diet 7 days a week and because county little victories keeps me motivated and stops me falling back into bad habits. At weekends I like to eat fun with my family and drink a few glasses of wine! The weight is dropping off, some weeks more than others. But it's working and you are soooo right on so many of your lessons learnt!

When there is so much on here which can make you feel a bit of a failure for not working out every day or eating something other than a lettuce leaf (I am exagerating) it was refreshing to read your posts and reassure myself that what I am doing is right for me, just like what others do is right for them!

Cheers and keep it up

I think your post is wonderful, 6 months is nothing, 45lb is amazing. You are loosing at a fantastic acceptable rate. I can't wait until I can say I've lost 45lb.

Your story has helped me loads today, you are right, it's not a race.

Really REALLY well done on your achievements so far, you are truly inspirational. Thank you so much for your post, which I thought was not long enough, I wanted more ;-)

45lbs in 6 months is a MASSIVE achievement - don't do yourself a disservice; give yourself a round of applause!!!

And that's one of the best posts I've read on these message boards.

Well done! :flowerforyou:

What can I say...?... all of what you posted is right on track... we hear it all the times and sometimes preach it... but too many times don't practice it..(like me... wanting to lose 4 or 5 lbs per week...! LOL...!).! your loss is great in 6 months... just sticking to your committment for the long run is an accomplishment...! following your advice will ensure an easier real change for hopefully the rest of your life..... "qui va piano va sano".... slow and easy... Thank you for sharing these points ...!

Losing 45lbs is no small achievement. Over the last 5 years I can only say I've GAINED overall so I'm very impressed with your progress! I think your tips are very sound advice. It's so important not to be too hard on yourself as it's so easy to just give up completely after one little glitch and that doesn't get you anyway.

Keep up the good work and thanks for posting your lessons learned :flowerforyou:
