From Claire, Age 19 - 06/13/08 - IP#: 64.131.205.xxx Click here to reply Ht. 5'4", Start: 210 lb, Today: 176 lb, Goal: 140 lb - I'M NOT LOSING A SINGLE POUND! no wait, I actually GAINED one. What is going on here? am I doing something wrong? because I feel like I'm doing things right. Just ONE slip up couldn't have triggered that pound gain. I'm going to check again today and I'm scared :'( what if I gained another? it used to be so easier in the beginning...the weight was just melting off and now it's like waiting for the damn grass to grow! I needed to vent or I feel like my head is going to explodee. You may disregard this whiny post but I'm just angry with everything right now. How long till I lose atleast 5 lbs? ! should I be working out even more? because clearly what I'm doing is not working here. Also...I ahve a question-- morning workouts..do you workout before breakfast or after? I hope you all are doing amazingly awesome because my luck really sucks right now! :'(

Make yourself do it and you will get to the point where if you don't you will feel terrible. I have been going to the gym on a consistent basis for 3 weeks and it's really getting addicting. Also what you eat sounds fine but watch your portions... if you are eating almonds remember 23 is a serving ... if you are having salad remember adding things to it like ham and cheese add calories, you can add them... just watch the amount. You are doing a great job... you can do it!
Reply from Claire, Age 19 - 06/13/08 - IP#: 64.131.205.xxx k this is how I eat and stuff. I eat a salad in the morning then 3 hours later like a piece of fruit...then 3 hours later like almonds or something..then 3 hours later like something else nutritious. I don't know, that's my problem. I don't really have a planned schedule-same with exercise. I just do how much I can each day. Like I'll probably dance for an hour, stretch, lift some dumbbells but it's not exactly consistent. Sometimes I'm so tired from work I just don't feel like doing a thing. Also I walk to work which is like half a mile. I have a treadmill in my room but I hardly use it and when I do, I feel great but then there's a 3-4 day gap when I don't use it. I'm thinking I should set a plan like 4 miles a day on the treadmill (like I used to do). Please HELP! I'm not consistent with everything and that's my major prolblem.
