in Introduce Yourself
Hello all. Well the last year was not a good one as far as working out. I am back to where I started in 2015. Which is 487. I went down to 468 but did t stay focused because of the slow weight loss. I wish I had but would've could've should've. I am gong to
Make a dent in my weight by June, or else I will be considering some type of surgery, which I do not want to do. I feel and I am going to do this by eating right and working out. So would appreciate encouragement and I will gladly give back. And any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading. Take care.

    Don't get discouraged when things don't go the way you'd hoped they'd go. Slow weight loss is weight loss. An average of one pound per week is 52 pounds per year. Having your weight creep downward is much better than having it creep upward. Figure out a comfortable way of eating that works for you because you'll need to keep it up even after you reach your goal weight.

    My suggestion is that you don't try to change everything at once or make big changes. Baby steps. Don't make changes that you aren't willing to stick to forever. Eat smaller portions and/or find satisfying lower-calorie substitutions. IMO, the closer you can stay to your normal way of eating, the easier it is to stick to a lower calorie plan.

    Find an exercise that you like - even just walking to start.

    You can do this!

    You can do it! I am weighing myself every week.....this helps me stay motivated or make changes when I am starting an unhealthy pattern.
