[QUOTE="AllieRainbow, post: 2207990, member: 473025"] You have done fantastically well with your weightloss. I remember you posting when I was on the site before, talking about waiting for your bariatric operation. It is brilliant that it is turning out so well for you. I am using small targets - smallest are - each day hit the target for exercise, calories and hydration. If I get that right, the weight comes off. The other targets are slightly bigger, of 7 lbs off at a time, and weightloss challenges online that last around 2-3 months. I find that if I have something to aim at all the time, it keeps me focused, and I am hitting goals regularly, which is giving me positive feedback from my efforts and reinforcing motivation and commitment. When you have a lot to lose it is really difficult thinking about how far you have to go, and can lead to a lack of perspective on how far you have come. I have visual aids like a big jar which gets a wooden disc in when I have completed another hour of exercise. When I have filled the jar I am going to write the start weight and finish weigh for the jar on, and how many hours of exercise it took. A lot of the weightloss process is just keeping going and perseverance, which can be difficult to achieve. [/QUOTE]
