I thought I would post here because I feel extremely frustrated with where I am right now.
Over the past 2+ years I have tried a lot of things to lose weight... and really haven't had much success. The only times I have lost much more than a few pounds was when I was breastfeeding, and even then not that much.
The thing that always gets me down is that I just can't seem to get the scale to budge. I hear about people who can drop 5+ pounds on the first week of a diet... that has never happened to me. I can stay on plan for several weeks, and not see a loss, even in the beginning.
Currently, I am not following any diet plan, mostly because I am frustrated. But I am wondering, has anyone else not seen a loss in the beginning, or start out very slow?
I have such a hard time sticking something out when I feel like it's not working. I am just very discouraged.
I am early 20's, and have about 40-60 pounds to lose. I have not been heavy all my life. I did struggle with my weight in high school, then lost some weight, and kept it off for a while, then gained it all back plus some when I got pregnant, and haven't lost any since.
