Just wanting to encourage everyone not to give up . Sometimes things don't happen as fast as we want , but in some cases it takes a little longer. Keep pushing forward and know each step counts

I agree with John. I've personally needed to learn from a saying that I've previously seen on MFP " time passes anyway" and I'm just glad to still be moving in the right direction. It's not about "all" or "nothing", but as John said "Every step counts".11 -
Thank you for this post. I needed someone to say that to me today. Fell off the wagon two days in a row. Went over my caloric intake, loaded myself with carbs and ate extra 600 cals this week. Today, however, I fought really hard with myself and didn't let myself over indulge. It put me in a grumpy mood, feeling low but I need to do this!
It feels alright now after about 45 minutes. Mood is improving and not feeling like a 2 year old whose ice cream cone fell after two bites lol.12 -

This is a good post to remember...I am notorious for getting super impatient! I was actually just thinking this morning how frustrating it was that results weren't coming sooner.

Another morning at the gym trying to reach my goal1 -
That's so true that time goes on regardless. I can be somewhere between 40-60 pounds lighter next year or I can stay the same (or gain ! Blech!). Keep on keeping on and the changes build up.3

What I always mention to people is and using myself as an example, it took 25 years of poor eating and no exercising to put on the weight. I cannot expect it to just melt off over night.
If you dont mind me asking age/height? I am 51yo 5'10" and currently 215lbs with a goal of 180lbs. I am not putting a date on when. I started going back to the gym Oct 1st and have been going quite regularly. I really like the way I am feeling better already.
What gym do you go to? looks empty ;-)0 -
