needing some encouragement

I've been at this for about a month, and yeah, I screw up from time to time. But not real bad. I'm just finding it hard to stay motivated sometimes. I'm not really seeing much difference in clothes or anything, and for some reason my goals just seem so far off. How do you deal with that? Some days I don't think I'll ever get the weight off, and then some days I do. But the off days seem to linger. I guess I just need a little encouragement or something from someone who's been there and knows what I'm feeling.
 
11 pounds in one month is excellent progress. You should be proud of yourself. Keep in mind that you probably didn't get big in just a few weeks. It probably took a while. It will take some time to lose it as well.

I have lost 19 pounds so far but didn't really notice any difference until I had lost about 15 pounds. I was beginning to wonder if there was something wrong with my scale but now I can feel and see some changes in both my body and attitude. Just hang in there for a few more pounds and the difference will become apparent to you.
 
Yup. You've been successful so far. No reason to be lacking confidence over a successful start. Just remember, weight loss happens as a cycle, not all at once. Maybe 3-4 lbs one week, none the next. Your body is making changes and adjustments. Relocating fat and eliminating it. Keep up the good work and have patience, if you do what you're supposed to your body will take care of the rest :)
 
Dont look at the big goal at the end, set yourself a mini goal of 2 pounds at a time. You are doing great!
 
Hey, thanks guys. That's just what I needed, I don't know why I'm lacking in confidence, I know the changes won't happen overnight. I'm going to stick with what I've been doing. Thanks. :)
 
It looks like your ticker has some good news:)

It is easy to get discouraged. Sometimes I have several good weigh-ins in a row and then one where I stay the same or go up a little and then beat myself up about it. It's absurd but sometimes it is hard to see the big picture - the big picture where your weight goes up and down but far more down than up.
