    It's a whole lifestyle change... I've been fat my whole life and I came to terms that it was going to be a lifelong struggle to get rid of it and stay rid of it. Eat at a defecit, move your body and it will come off. It's not a race. You will lose it when you lose it, and you will be a much stronger, patient person afterwards.

    I've read that healthy weight loss is about 2lbs per week. Keep at it. I'm impatient to, I just try to think that it took years of unhealthy eating to make me this way (I've been chunky forever), and that it may take a while to get where I want to be.

    It took me about 5 months to lose 65 lbs. Of course, I had a lot more to lose, so it came off pretty quickly. I get impatient too, but the only thing you can do is keep on making healthy choices and let your body take care of the rest. The time will pass regardless of your progress or lack thereof, so you might as well make some progress along the way! At least, that's the way I look at it.

    It's a day by day, pound by pound,
    meal by meal, workout by workout process.

    You didn't gain it all in a week, so you're not gonna lose it all in a week either.

    Learn to live with it. It's this exact issue that has me stuck at only a 20 lb loss in 3 years. Fluctuating is so bad, just learn to be patient. A new outlook can change everything.

    Good luck.
