DiscouragedI try so hard to lose weight I’ve only got 20 pounds to do and it seems to be a battle all the time I seem to always fail I’m back on here again and I’m gonna try again I don’t know what I’m doing wrong any ideas on how I can do this the right way I feel like when I eat too much I’m always hungry I don’t know what to do anymore

First off, trying, not finding success, and then returning to try again is not failing.

Sometimes it takes a lot of tweaking to see results.

Are you logging your meals accurately? You might want to get a food scale and really dial that in. Then see what happens in the next few weeks.

We are our own worst enemy. No one will force feed you. What I mean is that we are often ourselves which use our own hands and put food in our mouths, you need more self control and planning.

It's also OK if you fail, just get up and try again that's all, you will get the hang of it.

Even me, once a month I lose a bit of control and take some extra calories in, but on the other hand I don't do cheat meals per week so once every while it might be ok to take those extra 500 calories in.

Don't get me wrong I've got a long way to go to 180lbs (went from 299 to 248lbs since April), but I feel like I can help here. Get a food scale like the user above me said.

Everything in moderation I say, and portioned. Also try to stay active, even going on 20 minute leisure walks helps trust me. Hang in there please, don't give up!

You will lose those 20 pounds I'm sure of it, but if you give up then no you won't. So as long as you're trying there's a 99% chance you'll lose them. Just keep at it!

It has taken me a long time and many different "diets" to figure out what works for me. First, I had to learn to love myself the way I am and not beat myself up after every failed attempt. I made a decision to change the way I look at food. I eat smaller portions, less carbs and fewer calories. It has worked! I don't deny myself of things I love, but after a while, I began choosing the better options anyway. It just made me feel better. I have lost 29 pounds, but I still have far to go. I'm now excited about my choices instead of dreading what I eat. It's all in your mindset ❤

It’s been 2 Months for me since I started my weight loss goals. I started off with eating better and cut out sugar. I am 210lbs I have been walking at least 40mins to 2 hours a day every day and when I don’t walk, I do about 26-40 mins Zumba and or I do swimming for an hour or 2. I don’t eat junk and I have 3 small meals a day. I am feeling so discouraged bc every time I get on the scale, I either weigh the same or it’s about 2-3 lbs down but fluctuates and goes back to the same weight. I’ve been working so hard I feel like no matter how hard I try, nothings working. 😢
