When I started my diet about a month ago I had to hit the gym in my building. The treadmill was my enemy let me tell you. I didnt realize HOW out of shape I was (still am). My husband (very sympathetic
) asked why I was going slow and commented I wouldnt lose any weight ugh! I started at 2.0 and my heart rate was about 130ish. I got discouraged at first but I realized if I was fat for a long time it would take me awhile to get into shape. I also have learned to enjoy the journey more than getting bothered by how slow I am compared to others. I now can go up to 3.5 with a heart rate of 120ish. So yes its progress and be patient with yourself. Your not where you want to be, but its not where you were, your on your way!!!!
