1 lb per week is still amazing progress!

F 4'11 SW: 211 CW:184 GW:145

So I've been on my weight loss journey since late August of last year and I'm down 27 lbs overall. I have been seeing a personal trainer 3x per week and losing a little over 1 lb per week on average. I'm so proud of my weight loss. I have lost 2 jean sizes and 2 shirt sizes. None of my clothes from last year fit at all.

But it has been super discouraging to see all the new year's resolutioners take off 20 lbs in 6 weeks and look incredible. I have heard very little from others about my weight loss, which of course makes me feel like it isn't noticeable.

But I have to step back and remind myself that slow progress IS progress, and I have made a commitment to healthy eating and exercise for 6 months! I went on vacation this weekend and didn't binge eat and actually lost 1 lb instead of gaining. The lifestyle changes are massive for me.

Just wanted to post this to encourage others on their weight loss journey that it is a marathon, not a sprint. Small changes add up over time. I never thought I could lose the weight i have, and I'm more motivated than ever to reach my goal this year!
