Getting hard!!

Hi guys :) so, beginning of feb I was 12 stone 8 and 5ft1=obese! Weigh in today and I'm 11stone.

Happy but my weight loss is slowing, and each pound is a struggle. I'm exercising, eating 1200 cals a day I just feel that I'm losing a pound a week at most :/

You should be very proud of 1 pound a week. That's great.

If you want to lose more quickly I would spend my calories on fat and protein rather than carbs.

Good luck

Well done on such a significant loss. Don't get disappointed about a pound a week, that's a great loss, if you continue to lose 1lb every week, that's more than 30lbs before Christmas, I'd love to be able to do that. Keep up the good work.

Hey, well done in your weight loss so far, you've done great! I think it does slow down as you get closer to your goals. You are still losing and that's the main thing, a lb a week is a good steady loss so don't be disheartened! All the best 🌸

Hey, I'm nearing my target & I've found it gets harder the close your get. Try to stay focused & look at each loss as a loss, doesn't matter how small. I read that the longer it takes to reach your target the more likely you are of keeping the weight off, I keep reminding myself of that when I feel frustrated. Good Luck, your doing great xx

Getting there slowly

Too slowly, down a pound, back up. It's the chocolate addiction that's my problem
