I (1) (had been trying) to lose weight by running for about thirty minutes every day. (2) (However), I just found (that) it's not (an) easy (plan) to stick with, (because) I found that i didn't lose my weight at all (after many days' workout). (This) literally discourages me and could psych me (to drop out of my workout plan). I would bow out then. I mean, I couldn't roll over any faster at that time. Hi Harrison, Just some suggestions: (1) We use past perfect continuous tense (had been verb-ing) to talk about something that started in the past and ended in the past as well. Therefore, we use "had been trying". (2) We try not to start a sentence with "And / Because / But" unless we are writing very informally or speaking casually. Some writers do use these words to start a sentence to create an impact. However, there are many conjunctions such as "However / Although / Moreover / Since" to convey the same meaning. Hope this helps. Cheers, Lance P.S I am not sure if I understand "I couldn't roll over any faster..."

Thank you!

I had been trying to lose weight by running for about thirty minutes every day. But I've found that's it's not easy to stick with. Because after many day's of working out I found that i didn't lose any weight at all, which psyched me out of working out, i would bow out then ( < not sure what this means).I mean, I couldn't roll over any faster at that time.
