I don't know about you guys, but I really struggle with weight loss. It's super discouraging to see my weight stay the same or even go up. I have given up numerous times in the past, but in April I decided no more excuses and that I was going to finally do this.
I've been recording my weight loss journey on twitter in a little thread, checking in daily to record my losses and gains. I have been weighing every day, which I know for some is frowned upon, but I am glad I did. I just reached 100 days of counting, and I decided to go back and count up how many days I lost weight, how many days I maintained, and how many days I gained weight.
The results were surprising.
I have lost 18.6 lbs since April 15th.
I gained weight on 22 days.
I maintained weight on 53 days.
I lost weight on 25 days.
My numbers show that 3/4 of the time, I was either maintaining or gaining. But I still lost.
It can be EXTREMELY discouraging when you don't see that number go down or when it stays the same, especially when you are doing everything right. But it's all part of the process.
I think it helps to see that you will see results, as long as you are consistent. I have a long ways to go, but I'm going to continue to record every day and see if this pattern continues.
I wish you all luck with your weight loss journeys!
