Thread: People who have tried multiple times to lose weight, was there a eureka moment?

Hey all, my very first post here so please excuse my formatting

So as per title, I'm sure a lot of us who struggled with losing weight over the years has tried multiple times to do it, through either fad dieting, putting strain on your body by exercising too hard too fast or by motivating ourselves with all the wrong reasons, just to gain back the weight and then some.

So this is a question to everyone who finally did it. Did you feel it coming long before you saw any results?

I've been fat (and short) my whole life and I've tried multiple times to lose weight. I'm currently a month into a 3x a week spin class and I just started weight lifting again today. When I looked back to when I started this fitness journey a month ago, and all I could think of is holy crap, my endurance is insane compared to when I started. I've also started counting my calories instead of just relying on a diet like keto (yes I did it before, it worked but my body was really asking for carbs and I gained back what I've lost) and all I could think off is "holy crap, this might actually work this time."

Although I've not noticed any changes on the scale, my first day lifting in the gym went smoother than expected, I noticed my cardio spin class had actually have me a bit of newbie gains in the chest and arms area to kick start my lifting journey. For the first time in my life, I started light and prioritized my form and I even made a friend.
