Playing the long game

[u/Dead-Red-89]

I’m posting to say how far I’ve come as I can’t believe I’ve got this.

Around May my health declined and I realised I hadn’t weighed myself in nearly ten years. I’m a 5 foot female and found myself being nearly 110kg. With a change in mind set, diet (two full meals and a small lunch for work), exercise three times a week (at the gym or at home if I couldn’t make it out), keeping my steps above 10000 five days a week and calorie counting, I’ve got down to 85kg. Still a bit to go as I want to get to around 70kg, which is the higher end of my normal bmi range, but this is the lightest I’ve been in years.

The question I want to know is what helped you out when trying to maintain the progress? I’m getting the usual days where I think I want to just be lazy but am fighting them. What’s helped you guys in this situation?
