Add me.. 200 lbs, need encouraging words!

Options
Hello All!

My names Megan. Im 21, will be 22 next month on the 18th. Im currently 200 lbs.. Im having trouble sticking to a good diet, and exercising. I never see the results I want right away and i pretty much give up.. I need some words of encouragement to see that it is possible if I stick to it.. What have been life savers for you guys and things have worked well? Please at me, or message me or comment. Would love to hear your stories and advice!

    It's definitely possible. Just not easy. But honestly, what's worth being proud of if you earn it the easy way. (Unless we're talking about free cookies or cash).

    I used to weigh 259 lbs.
    I'm still on my journey because I slipped up. I gained 30 lbs back. Well, I guess that's more of a fall than a slip. I digress, YOU CAN DO IT!!

    especially if my food loving self can.

    For me, it has been a dedication to doing it right (this time!) and immersing myself in the process. I like numbers so part of my routine is keeping careful track of my weight, body fat and lean body mass. When I think "man, I've only lost 8 pounds" I can also say "but you also gained two pounds of muscle so you've actually lost 10 pounds of fat."

    I take my victories where I can get them.

    Don't look at the big number. I have noticed it's easier to focus on a pound versus 20 pounds to lose. You will not lose ten pounds overnight. Stay focused. Good luck! You can add me.
  • Hi there, I'm 23 and currently 205 (formerly 290). Feel free to add me :)
