I'm pretty sure I'm not going to make this round goal, but more importantly, I'm not giving up. I've gotten a little complacent with things and need to refocus. Does anyone have any strategies for this?

I just feel I can be ok with losing ONE round but that's all. This is it with round 2 but I haven't given up, I'm pushing hard to see if I can just skim by

Really focusing on my NSV and non-scale goals, like mobility.

Guys I need some tough love or something. How do I get over being angry at myself for gaining this weight? I just had a group photo of me and some friends taken today, and when I saw it hardly recognized myself. I’m usually very kind to myself and feel attractive and confident, but after seeing that picture I am just like “ugh”. I know I need to channel this into carrying in with doing something about it, not feeling sorry for myself. But my confidence took a hit today

Tough love might work but compassion for yourself and your body can be good too.. when I look at pictures of myself I struggle a lot with similar feelings like you. I’ve been trying to reframe like you wrote but I’m also trying to forgive past me. There is a reason I turned to food for comfort.. and I fulfilled those needs with the things I had availed to me at the time. Now I try to make sure I have other resources to for coping.. also like Kimberly S said being grateful is really important for me now, shifting from self hate to feeling grateful and hopeful about my body:heart:

I also struggle with pictures

I used to feel so photogenic and now it’s harder

Stay smiling and focus on the memory vs the photo

Did my first workout at the gym and LOVED it! I can't wait to go back tomorrow. The home workouts were fun but now I've got weight machines and all kinds of fun stuff! Still trying to figure out how losing weight and strength training can coincide. Never did strength training before :)

Thank you all! Everyone has some really good points. I am doing a protein supplement after my workouts. It's whey isolate protein and I added collagen peptides in the morning. I definitely did see a slight gain in the beginning but am now seeing a little weight loss. Definitely not as much as usual when I'm JUST trying to lose weight. I appreciate everyone's feedback. I'm going to keep these things in mind and push forward and keep going! :)

You may gain a little weight in the first few weeks but don't freak out. The first weight gain is fluid and it will come off. If you are in a calorie deficit, you won't be gaining muscle mass but you won't be losing it either. Weight training is protective of your lean mass. The benefit is that you'll eventually be smaller even at the same weight and you will be able to consume a few more calories without gaining fat. But don't fall into the trap of eating more just because you worked out. The reality is that most people vastly overestimate how much they burned in exercise and end up eating more than they burned.
