I may not be there yet, but I'm closer than I was yesterday.

This is the motto I need to keep repeating to myself. I started my newest weight loss journey in February. Two years ago I had lost 90 lbs. I slowly had gained back 30, and refused to continue that path, so I jumped back into being healthy. I started with just healthy eating and calorie counting per my doctors suggestion, with monthly visits to the doctor for weigh ins. The first month I lost 10, and the second month I lost 5. In April I started an exercise program recommended by my nurse. The program comes with a 4 week schedule you can follow as suggested to see results. They suggest you take measurements and before and after pictures. I decided to try it. Today was my last day. I followed the program, doing more than suggested, only missing one and a half days of exercise, and occasionally adding in more strenuous videos since I was beginning to really have to push myself on some of the easier videos to feel any sort of burn. I worked myself into a drenched sweat every morning and Continued on my 1200-1300 calorie diet. I noticed more strength in my body, but.... I only lost 4.4 lbs in one month!!!! (I started at 227), and only lost a total of 6.5 inches! Yes, I lost, and I know that is good, but grrrrr... I feel like it should have been more than that! I may not be there yet.......
