I need motivation please :( feel like giving up :(

Hi Stephany, are you logging everything you eat? And if you are are you weighing it? Keep your chin up, the answer will become obvious and the weight will then come off

Dont give up... Remember why u started!! Its ok to have a bad day just remember to get back on the band wagon!

Don't give up if you did a total adjustment to your diet like I did my Dr said my weight may not change til your body gets all adjusted. It's like a total body reboot which may take a month then you will start to see something happen. Just take it one day at a time.

Unfortunately diet sometimes makes a bigger difference than exercise in weight loss. Take a look at what you're eating and see if there are things you can adjust there and see if that makes a difference. Try drastically cutting sodium and see if that helps jump start you

Don't give up.....this is a very difficult thing to achieve and that is why all of us and leaning on each other! Add me if you want, I will do my best to help you!

Give up imo or at least think why you want to lose from the reasons pushing you and some of the advantages of losing. Is that importnat to you? How important? What are you prepared o do to lose that weight? It could taje you over two years, so bear that in mind.

Go back to the drawing board for a few weeks and check your understanding of weight loss and your plan is likely to be effective. The thing that will have the biggest influence us being able to establish a food deficit, so controlling what you consume by weighing shoul be where you start. That will give you the biggest influence on whether you lose or not. the next thing youll need is consistency and patience.

Whats going wrong? you are probably not eating at a deficit when everything (even the exercise is taken into account). Dont worry its a learning pocess, so adjust as you go along and you will soon start to lose. the nice thing is becayse you have such a lot to lose then you cna still eat a generous amount and lose, you will burn more calories than lighter people and you will also lose faster.

Everyones journey is personal to them, theres no reason yours cnat be a success, when you undestand what you have to do and you are prepared to commit.

Please dont give up.

Some may find my advice controversial as exercising seems like such a natural thing to do for losing weight, but I'd say let it go for a while if you have to force yourself to do it. Your OP made it sound like what you are doing is a challenge to you, a challenge that you can't wait to drop unless it shows results asap. In my experience running marathons at sprinting speeds doesn't work too well. If you want to cross that finish line, you gotta find a pace that's sustainable.

Make sure to weight your food and log it properly. That's the most important part and also the easiest. Stay under your calorie goal. It's really not hard once you find a menu that fills you. You don't even have to give up foods you love. This will be enough to lose weight. Just make sure you do that and you'll see results sooner or later.

Walking is great. I personally find a lot of pleasure and health benefits in it. It's not too hard either, so I'd still do it on the days you feel like it without forcing yourself on the days you absolutely hate the idea. As for other types of exercise, just look for activities you enjoy for now. Once you drop some weight you will be better prepared for exercise both physically and mentally and you will actually crave some quite likely. Give it some time, listen to how you feel and only introduce new challenges once you've digested the ones before.

Also sometimes you'll do everything right and not see any results. It will most likely be temporary. Your body is a complex creation and there are a bunch of systems that work not entirely in sync. What you see on the scales is a sum of fat, muscle, water, contents of your digestive system etc. On some days more of one will lead you to not noticing there's less of the other. Have patience. Fat loss will show itself at some point.
