So now you have to just be a little more patient in your progress and realize that, yeah, when you first started your journey, you were losing five pounds every week or every time you went to the gym, you were adding more weight. Well, again, did you think that that was going to last forever and you were going to break world records by year one? Right. Like just do the basic math there.
