    So I'm back at 0 and have been going at this for 25 days :-(. I lose then gain, etc. I am confident that it is my eating options and exercise, I'm working on that. But for those of you with big losses. Did you start out like this? Did you have some set backs? Can you share them a bit to encourage those of us having a rough start? And advice at overcoming them.

    I have:
    - SLE lupus
    -Fibromyalgia
    -PCOS
    -Hypothyroidism
    -Low B12
    -clotting disorder
    -Clinical depression
    -Generalised Anxiety
    -Some degree of social anxiety (that i did overcome to work out at my TINY gym)

    Believe me hun, there were setbacks but now I dare someone to say I'm not a weightloss success. :drinker:
    Keep at it! I promise the results catch up with the effort over time.

    Set backs? Well YES! but you can't let them define you. I'm having one right now but I just keep moving on. Log everything even if you don't think it matters. Measure everything and don't over estimate your workout calories. The biggest thing I have learned this time around is that you can't do cardio all day long and expect to maintain your weight when you reach goal. If you haven't added any muscle that will be very difficult.

    Food scale. Maybe like me you have portion blindness. I have to measure everything still or I will end up 600 calories off by end of day
