Hi there I'm Alley and the 5 Feb 2019, my journey started, to be quite honest I lose then fall back into old habits, then pull myself together, then start over again.... rollercoaster lol, but you know what I decided not to be hard on myself and go with my own vibe... well February when i started my weight was 148.9kg...oh yeah, well this morning 18 Aug 2019 its 130.8kg. When i started i had this goal by losing 5kg per month, so by now was suppose to have been close to a 100kg. Today i ask myself why the pressure, why do we do it to ourselves... i don't follow a diet, i just try to eat 1300 calories a day... i try lol, some days it's over 2000 and other days its lil bit more than 2000, the great thing is I make the decision and by consuming more than 2000 calories i know the consequences and also know that i have to correct it in the days to come. I'm happy doing it my way, try to something that's your way, it will make the journey easier.... longer but easier.

    Well done, that's the way I am doing it to not following a diet but just eating less that 1200 calories and exercising more, I have found adding friends this time has kept me motivated.
    Good luck.

    Best way.

    Especially if you want to get there and stay there.

    Great attitude that will get you far! :smiley:

    Bit of unsolicited commentary (that you can feel free to ignore), but 1300 as a base calorie level for you sounds low. You might benefit from adjusting it up. Take a look at your weekly logged averages compared to your weekly losses to see what your actual deficit is :smile:

    Hi! I'm a similar start weight to you, but only been on plan a week. Hoping to lose 2lbs a week, using a low calorie diet to do it. If you want to add me for support and accountability you're very welcome. I'm here every day.
