im feeling very disappointed in myself, I only lost a pound in two weeks, although I did hurt my knee when I fell so I'm limited to what exercises I can do for now. I know I can do this but would love some support to urge me on. Feel free to add me

    It took me a lifetime to get to 305 pounds, and 4 years to lose 100+. It's a marathon, if you do it right. The quick fads and gimmicks are not a sustainable way to eat. Be patient, use common sense, and keep pushing! If I can lose 100 pounds, anyone can.

    You can do it!! It takes a time, discipline and a plan. Minor set backs will happen. Keep your head up and focused on your goals. Personally, I took it one week at a time, and didn't focus on the number. I'd just keep going, and pushing harder on the workouts and living by the 80/20 rule worked - eat healthy 80% of the time... It's possible! Surround yourself with people who are being healthy!! :)
    Listen, I never thought I could do it when I started, but 17 months later of taking it 1 week at a time, I've lost 121lbs. I still have 40lbs to go, and it gets harder once you get closer to your goal, I'm still taking it 1 week at a time.
    Stay strong!

    Good luck to you. As other posters have told you, it is a marathon, not a sprint. That sad truth is that we have to keep our eyes on the goal every day, every hour. Put something on the fridge, cupboard, bathroom mirror etc to remind you of your goals.

    Without knowing the extent of your injury, it is difficult to suggest exercises. I walk for an hour or more on a treadmill at an incline to burn 700-800 calories. It is low impact and doesn't hurt my knees too much.
