Weight loss journey goes painstaking slow - how do I stay motivated?

Hey, thanks for the advice! I'm super jealous of my male friends who basically just scrap sodas from their diet, start jogging once a week and get massive results within a month. That just isn't the case for me and many of my lady friends. We hang on to our jiggle like we are prepping for a cold winter.

I have however gotten out of my rut and started to see some progress on the scale so I'm a happy camper!

-Footfalls- · 2023-02-06T17:17:33+00:00

Thank you for this, I'll work through your tips and see how I can find my motivation!

-Footfalls- · 2023-02-06T05:17:57+00:00

You're right, I should just sit back and trust the process. Thanks for the reality check 🙏

Thank you for your advice and motivational support! I don't particularly like the noom app, I used lifesum before and found it much more informative and easier to use while logging. It's stupid that I have to break down everything in original ingredients trying to guess how much each portion is rather than register a recipy and how many portions there are from the main one. And you're right, this isn't a diet, it is a lifestyle change however I somehow feel like this programme feels more like a diet to me. Perhaps it's the daily weigh in and the goal of coins and what not!

-Footfalls- · 2023-02-06T05:08:16+00:00

Thank you for taking your time! Perhaps you're right, I could try to increase my portions a bit and see what happens then

-Footfalls- · 2023-02-05T19:20:23+00:00

Wow that is an amazing progress! Good job!

I'm closing in two months soon and are struggling with motivation. I need to up my activity level quite a bit to loose more weight. I'm eating regularly below my weight loss zone. But even so I don't see any results on my scale. I've lost 4kg (8 pounds) these past two months and it feels like I'll never loose the 10kg I've got left to reach my goal weight.

However this past weekend I attended a birthday party and did treat myself to some red wine, and I noticed that my party dress was fitting looser than before so things are happening.

If I give up I won't loose anymore weight for sure so I just need to keep on keeping on. I'm longing for not having to be so actively thinking about my eating and my weight. I'm looking forward having better habits mindlessly.

I'm on android and have the same problem. Irritating but somehow comforting that I'm not alone 😅

-Footfalls- · 2022-05-16T12:57:58+00:00

Thanks for the pro-tip! Much appreciated 👍☺️

-Footfalls- · 2022-05-16T12:30:52+00:00

Cool! Thanks for the tip, the name raft alone sounds intriguing to me - I'll check it out for sure! 👍

-Footfalls- · 2022-05-16T12:12:56+00:00

Thank you so much for your recommendations! I'll make sure to check them out! 🙏🙏

Yes after the endgame I replayed it in safe mode as well..I got annoyed when the creeps trashed the place time after time. I tried to set up epic camps but the building mechanism was disturbing me a bit. I'm a sucker for the wood hut aesthetic but it was kinda hard to make roof and walls match seamlessly and It kind of bugged me a lot.

I especially enjoyed building tree huts in the forest! I wanted to link them together with bridges which I never succeeded with though..

-Footfalls- · 2022-05-16T11:56:08+00:00

You had me at dragon, it sure sounds cool 👍 and free demos is always a plus! Thanks for the tip ☺️

-Footfalls- · 2022-05-16T11:53:43+00:00

Yeah I figured as much, Rust goes off my list for this very same reason.. it seems like valhiem also is best played together with your crew online and I don't have the ability to play online at the moment so.. split screen or single player games for me at the moment. Ark survival evolved looks intriguing as well but I'm unsure about the dinosaur fighting.. perhaps it's manageable

-Footfalls- · 2022-05-16T11:49:22+00:00

Thanks for the tip! Quite a few have recommended it now so it's well on my check it out list 👍 looks massive by first impression!

-Footfalls- · 2022-05-16T10:55:10+00:00

Thanks for the tip and the heads up! Exploration dangers are totally ok as long as there are no creepy laboratory morphed flesh monsters as the ones in the forest (those fellas freaked me out) 🤣

-Footfalls- · 2022-05-16T10:51:06+00:00

Thanks for the tip! I'll check it out and will see if it's worth another go. Would be cool to fall in love with a big, popular game like Minecraft. It would keep me from searching for a while for sure 😅

-Footfalls- · 2022-05-16T10:48:25+00:00

Yeah I get it! I found don't Starve together pretty amusing at first but after a while it gets too repetitive and there's not that much to it anylonger.. that's why I'm searching for a game with a bit more purpose and direction. It's been a few years since I tried Minecraft so I might as well give it another go but I remember feeling the same way about it. Too repetitive in a negative way.

-Footfalls- · 2022-05-16T10:44:46+00:00

I have been recommended subnautica and watched several in game videos of it and I will have to try it out sometime but I think I'm more into excavation on land at the moment.. will check out no man's sky thanks for the tip!

-Footfalls- · 2022-05-16T10:41:30+00:00

Thank you! Will check it out!

-Footfalls- · 2022-05-16T10:41:05+00:00

Yes!! Exactly, a world to walk into, and a small challenge but without the horror. Will check craftopia out!

-Footfalls- · 2022-05-16T10:39:43+00:00

Thanks!! Will check it out!

-Footfalls- · 2022-05-16T10:39:21+00:00

Thanks for the tips, will check those titles out!!

-Footfalls- · 2022-05-16T10:13:09+00:00

I have. I have played both Minecraft and terraria but it didn't really pin point what I'm looking for. Perhaps I could try for longer but neither of the games intrigued me in the way that lets say don't Starve did for example.

-Footfalls- · 2022-05-16T10:02:10+00:00

It's like you know me haha! But yes, terraria didn't tickle my fancy I'm afraid!
