I lost weight about 6 months ago. Broke a bone & had to have shoulder surgery. Have put it all back on and then some. HELP!

    You've done it before, so you know what you need to do. Wipe the slate clean and start fresh. Take it one day at a time.

    Yes, it is discouraging but at least you can tell yourself it wasn't your fault! The weight will come off again! Just be patient!

    I think I want the lose to be quicker. I keep stalling.

    Slow loss can be frustrating. I find myself comparing my loss to my husband's loss. When he puts his mind to it, it seems he can lose 5 pounds a week. If I see a half pound loss in a week, I'm happy (usually). :)

    Most people discourage me from weighing myself daily, but I know my weight fluctuates a great deal from day to day. I have found that by weighing myself every day, I continually remind myself how much it fluctuates. Nothing hurts more than behaving myself all week, and not seeing any weight loss because my weigh-in day is on a day that my weight has fluctuated up rather than down. Eventually that wavy line on the graph goes in a downward direction, and that's what I like to see.

    Good luck on your journey.
