Getting Discouraged

This Saturday will be a month that I've
been dieting & I'm still stuck at the
weight I was when I started. 161. I FEEL
like I've lost weight though, that's
what's getting to me. I don't feel like I
have so much fat hanging around my stomach
& I've been told twice now that it
looks like I'm losing weight in my face.
So why the heck isn't the scale dropping
 It's starting to
get discouraging.

Are you exercising at all? Muscle weighs
more than fat, so that may be why you are
not seeing the scale drop. Don't pay
attention to the number on the scale. You
will only get more discouraged. Go to
your closet and grab a pair of old jeans
that you would like to wear again and have
that be your goal.
At least you are trying. I complain all
the time about being heavy, but I can't
break away from snacking long enough to
lose weight.
Good luck.

I try to exercise but it's not a daily
thing. I have an exercise ball that I do
crunches & things on but after I get
done chasing Kaylee around all day I don't
have the energy for that. The jeans idea
is a good one, I'll have to go through my
clothes. Maybe I'll hang them up in the
kitchen so I see them all the time to keep
me going!

The more overweight a person is, the
easier and faster weight loss is. If
there is only a little bit of weight to
lose then it's harder and takes more time.
My weights around where yours is right
now too.
Are you only dieting? If you want to see
a change faster you probably want to
include daily exercise.
Good luck, don't get discouraged! Instead
of only weighing yourself maybe get a tape
measurer and get the measurements of your
stomach, waist, hips, thighs, etc, then
you can actually see how smaller
everything is getting over time.

One month is a great accomplishment. Don't
use ur scale often it only drags you
down.....exercise would kinda help you
more.

If you are too tired after chasing Kaylee
at the end of the day why not get up 40
minutes earlier in the mornings to
exercise. You will find it actually gives
you more energy. That would solve three
problems
a) exercising while you still have energy
and before Kaylee gets up
b) creating more energy for yourself
c) faster weight loss

Hmm I'll have to get a tape measure.. I
think the numbers might scare me a little
bit though! My thighs especially are huge.
I've been trying not to use the scale that
often, it's tempting though. Since I
started this no soda kick I've been
weighing myself at the end of every week
so see if I've made any progress but it's
said 161.8 every single time.
I'm going to start exercising more, I have
to if I wanna see these results. Watch me
actually start seeing more progress &
then Shane decide he's ready for Baby #2!
Does anyone know if there are any free
workout videos online? I'd love to do Tae
Bo or something along those lines.

I'll have to try that! Only thing is I
hate exercising in front of Shane. Weird I
know but I just hate him seeing me all
jiggly lol. So I would have to work it
around when he's not here.

I've been doing everything right too. I
don't drink any soda & if I do it's a
12 ounce can of Caffiene Free Diet Pepsi
every few days. I've been watching what I
eat, I haven't been eating anything after
7pm. I'll start exercising more & hope
that I at least see a pound or so come
off..

You should probably target problems food.
Believe it or not too much fruit can make
you keep weight on. Fruit has sugar in it,
sugar (even natural sugar) tells your body
to store fat. That's not a good thing. I
have heard of people switching to sugar
free mints and gum and then losing alot of
weight.
I know it is tough because it seems like I
am stuck at 150. I was stuck at 155 then I
went off the pill and it has gotten a
little bit better.
I am with ya girl! We can so do it
