Are you a Rabbit or a Turtle?

So I was once a rabbit ! I wanted to lose the weight as fast as I could and feel awesome about it, but because I wasn't realistic about my goals before, and because I didn't understand that a proper maintanence attitude is key, I always lost the race and gained back the weight, and at times I would gain back more. So this time Im deciding to be the turtle; I wanna maintain a certain amount of weight loss every week, and take my time doing so. And so far so good! I don't feel over-stressed about reaching my goal and I have no problem if it takes me a couple extra months, I know i'll get there :D

So who are you??

Ps: feel free to add me! Always looking fr more motivation and support :D

    I am DEFINITELY a turtle. It's taken me over 2 years to lose 83 pounds (although I HAVE sped up a little bit recently, losing 40 of those pounds in the past 7 months, but slowing down again). Slower may not feel better right NOW, but it feels better in the long run when the weight STAYS OFF!! <3 Good luck!!
