[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]80 lbs overweight here. 
I’m trying not to think about how long it will take to lose - it’s depressing to think 1-2 yrs if I’m lucky - and I definitely feel a lot of shame, too. [/quote]

I hear you, I have been there on the shame and desperation of how long will it take... Then I realized all I was doing was delaying my action to turn things around. Take on day at a time, make good choices and eat real food. Move your body, know your triggers and control your environment ! You can do this! I am on the same boat as far as how much weight to lose.

If you can lose 1-2 lbs per week it will take a year or so.  Look at it this way.  The year is going to happen anyway. You may as well aim to be lighter by the end of it! [/quote]

This is me.  I have been walking 4 miles a day now for two months and I am losing . . . . one pound a week!  My husband has watched me cut out all eating between meals, after dinner, alcohol, sweets, etc. and walk for 1.5 hours a day to lose a pound a week, and has finally concluded that there are indeed people who have to work REALLY HARD to lose weight.  I had this very frank conversation with him where I stated that it really hurts to watch his family members make comments about how fat people are lazy when I watch my diet more than they do, work out a lot more and harder, while they eat cake.  He's finally coming around to the fact that a lot of my problem seems to be genetic. (I come from a LONG LINE of German farm wives.)[/quote]
