Set a Realistic Weight Loss Goal
One of the first steps [deleted] took was setting a realistic weight loss goal. Losing 1-2 pounds per week is a safe and achievable amount. They also made sure to track their progress through photos and measurements, as the number on the scale can be deceiving.

Focus on Nutrition

Celebrate Non-Scale Victories
As [deleted]'s post shows, weight loss isn't just about the number on the scale. They celebrated non-scale victories, such as clothes fitting better and feeling more confident in their own skin. This helped them stay motivated and appreciate the progress they were making along the way.
