Aw hang in there, this is a journey that takes time, faith, and patience. You must be prepared to undergo MANY months of training to get to the physique you want. I've been working out for 8 years now. Started in bodybuilding, went on to play football and soccer, and now I train in Muay Thai and NOW, after 8 years, I'm starting to actually be 100% happy with my physique. Losing weight, lots of weight will take you a long time but you need to realize that that's the process o losing weight in a healthy way. Sure, you go drop 50 lbs in a month or two, odds are you did it in a bad way and will just gain all of it and then some back. Weight loss is often driven by the smallest things we do. My friend who is a personal trainer once told me that you get six pack abs in the kitchen, not the gym and he's right. You say you eat fruit and veggies, what else? Be cautious when it comes to fruit, too much and you're just taking in large amounts of sugar. WhT are you doing in the gym? Just cardio? It's the small things that add up. I can right forever about alll this but I sent one of my friends on here my whole workout regimen with detailed videos and information as well and stuff on diet, if you want I can send it to you as well, just befriend me or shoot me a message. Good luck and never give up!

Keep eating healthy and keep working hard and you will get there. Be patient as well. I am currently reminding myself these things as I try to get back into shape and I realize now that it is not nearly as easy as I remember it being. You can do it if you put your mind to it ;D

You didn't become 205lbs over night and you won't be a size 2 over night either! Things take time, enjoy the journey, enjoy those little victories, like getting a faster mile, or not being out of breath doing your usual work outs, it will all pay off, just be patient. This is the number 2 reason people don't get anywhere with their weight loss, they lose motivation... Just keep on the path your going, you will need daly motivation though, either go to the mall and fantasize about wearing the clothes in the windows, or check out images on tumblr.. look up "fitspo" do whatever to keep in that mindset of thinking thin, enjoy getting healthy not for looks, but how it makes you feel, enjoy cooking and making healthy meals, make it part of who you are, don't be afraid to evovle, you don'thave to be "the big girl" if you don't want to. Any one can change you just need to drive and the passion!

Take a tip from me, stop looking at the scale. I stopped checking about a year ago and I haven't felt happier or healthier. I just judge my health on how I feel and how my clothes fit. Instead of setting a weight loss goal, try setting a workout goal or an eating goal specifically. But it sounds like you're being healthy, so if you just continue with what you're doing, you WILL start to see results. It just takes a while for some people.

Don't worry. That's perfectly normal. Two weeks is nothing! And even if you start losing weight...it can always come to a month+ long standstill even though you continue to work out and eat healthy. It's all about not giving up.

Chin up and keep going. Good luck!
