Really strugging with how long I know it's going to take me to lose this weight again. It took me over 18 months last time just to lose 40 pounds. . . and I have trouble with that snail's pace. Talked to a woman at church today who has lost 50 pounds in 6 months-- she's 15 years older than I am, at least, and is just "doing her own thing" as far as dieting (low carbs, mostly). She said that she walks on her treadmill at home. No strength or resistance training at all. And here I am, counting my points, exercising 5x per week and I can barely manage to lose 2 pounds per week (and history has proven that my weekly weight loss is MUCH less than that). Just feeling bummed and unsure that I will be able to do this again.
