Feeling despondent - such a long way to go!

I've been feeling really despondent the last few weeks.....I have been on what feels like a never-ending journey to lose weight this year and, my crumbs, it is taking much longer than I thought it would! In years gone by, I could simply cut out a few chocolates or biscuits, or go to the gym for a few weeks, and the weight would fall off me.....not any more!

So here I am, 5 months down the line, with going to gym 4-6 times a week on average, and watching what I eat....and I'm only 5kgs down! 'Fed up' is just not strong enough to describe how I'm feeling.....my knees are killing me. Honestly, I have to put gel on them when I come home from gym so that I can manage the stairs in the evening!

And I haven't lost any weight in about 6 weeks......yes, yes, muscle weighs more than fat......BUT......I am still the same clothing size, albeit now loose on me where as it was tight before......but still, really, why does it have to be so hard?!!!

(Yes, I will be doing Bodypump again tomorrow morning, making it 4 classes this week!)
