When I was in the weight loss zone last time (in 2008-2009), I was losing quite quickly especially at the beginning. I lost 10kg in the first 7 weeks, boom! Whereas, this time the rate has been a bit slower, but still great. I need to keep reminding myself that it's Ok to be losing more slowly this time, to be patient, and to not compare with the previous journey! I suspect that ProPoints is a better fitting program for me, and more sustainable in the long term. When my dad died in 2009, I lost my motivation to keep losing and stopped trying with the same enthusiasm. I had gone hard for a year, lost 35kg, and had run out of steam. Before long I found that I was gaining about 8-10kg a year.
But this time is different. I've learned a few lessons from my last journey and it's a good thing to live life to the full, lose weight, and enjoy the journey more. So slow and steady does win the race for me! Well, not too slow because Paris is calling! :)
