I think starting with small goals keeps ya going. This way, they are achievable and you see results. :) It's great to have a large goal but but breaking it into sections should help with the impatience part of it. If you're really impatient, add some more exercise to your day and eat smart. I hope you'll join us in posting your results with us on our weekly weigh-in. :)

You've probably heard that famous quote about a journey of many miles starting with one step? Weight loss is exactly the same way. We lose weight one pound at a time. Sometimes, if we are lucky, in a given period of time, we will see a loss of several pounds. But mostly, the weight comes off the same way we put it on - one pound at a time. You didn't put on the 90 pounds overnight, so you can't expect to lose them overnight. It's important to think about this in a realistic way. If you can accept that losing weight takes time and feel comfortable about it, you will help yourself combat impatience. I also think it will help for you to remember that slow but steady progress will get you where you want to go. It is more important to lose pounds consistently than it is to lose them quickly. Best of luck to you.

Oh, and don't worry about what anyone else does. Everybody is different about weight loss, and the most important thing is to do what works best for you.

I also want to add I think it is better to weigh wkly instead of daily, as there are too many up and downs and then we feel too many emotions.
Also, on wks there is no wt change, that is also a win, maintaining is a good thing. When we stop the uphill climb, we should be proud, because we can all be winners.....

I think for the most part you're doing the right thing because you have the right approach. But these are the kind of things that you can't rush. This is your body you're dealing with, you have to careful about it.

Start small, then by the following month, increase what you do a little bit then so on and so forth. Just don't overdo it. If you have the motivation to do it, you will eventually reach your goal.

Workout more, make a change with your lifestyle and most especially watch your diet. Have you tried the paleo diet? Lots of people have tried it and really succeeded to get to their dream weight because of its nature. It's a low fat, low carb diet with a lot protein for your body to function properly.

You might have more patience if you think of this as a lifestyle change that should go on for the rest of your life. If you eat too little, you will only want to binge and set yourself back. If you workout too hard, you can injure yourself and again set yourself back. Slow and steady wins this particular race. Eat well. Do some form of exercise most days. Cut out most sugars except fresh fruit. Eat plenty of veggies. Portion out your lean proteins. Don't be afraid of healthy fats found in nuts, nut butters, olive oil and avocado. These fill you up and make you feel great! Just figure out the calories you need to lose and keep on going. You can do it! I use myfitnesspal as a great weightloss tool and the boards are also helpful and motivating.

Small steps. Two weeks seems to be the breaking point for people. Don't think negative thoughts. You must believe that you will lose those 90lbs. Everytime you have a craving or feel like giving up...envision your goals of 90lbs loss...remember Rome was not built in a day, and neither was your body. Take day by day! I promise consistency is the key to weightless. Don't give up!

A good way to lose weight is to start small, as you are doing. If you try too much at once then your cravings will become really unbearable!

With your lifestyle change, are you allowing yourself treats? I know with myself, if I'm super strict on myself then I'll either end up binging or going for a week eating unhealthily because my cravings got the better of me. A lifestyle change can still include having treats! A piece of chocolate (I find drinking hot chocolate takes that away) or your favourite treat at the end of the week. In proportion, this isn't going to make the weight you have lost come back overnight, especially with the exercise you are including too.

Try to have fun with your lifestyle change. And don't forget it has only been 2 weeks! It's going to be hard at first because you're only just starting out but I can guarantee that if you stay strong for two more week, you will see a loss and it will keep you going :)

And definitely try to stop comparing yourself to others. I joined a gym a few months back and was the WORST person there. I ended up cancelling my membership and taking up tennis instead, people enjoy different things and have different abilities. I bet there are people who would watch you and wish they could keep going for 30 mins (I know I would!) :) x

It's best to start slowly and lose the weight gradually. 1-2 pounds a week is a safe weight loss.
