I'm happy -with my injured ankle I haven't been able to do any good cardio- very frustrated. I wasn't expecting anything good on the scale this week. I just hope it's not cuz I'm losing muscle.0 -

Two. Ounces.
Let's talk a moment. Let's gab. Let's just sit down and have ourselves a chit chat.
Do you know how long it's been since I've had a taco? A cheeseburger? A single, lone French fry? How 'bout Chinese food - any kind? Mmm? Any takers? I CAN'T REMEMBER HOW LONG, THAT'S HOW LONG.
I'm marathon training. I'm running almost every day. I'm working up a sizeable sweat. I'm changing up my routine daily. I'm eating less than 1,425 calories per day, and almost all of it is vegetables and nuts and lean meats. Like, that's it. Do you know how tired I am of vegetables?!
I worked SO. HARD. this week. I pulled extra runs when I didn't have to. Just yesterday, I was supposed to rest, and I was like, no, weigh in day is tomorrow, and I'm running off my 200 calorie dinner.
And I lost two ounces this week.
I'm being very real here, I am not eating today until I run my three miles like I was gonna anyway, then eating like, an orange, and then going to bed, because I am 100% done with this. Averaging 1.5 pounds per week, and I'm living off exercise and baby carrots. Yes that makes sense...

Had a great week and feel really motivated! I know Thanksgiving will be tough - holidays always are - but I'm gonna try and make up for it with extra exercise and maybe a little less eating on the days before and after. Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday!0 -
I hope everyone is having a blast getting ready for whatever Thanksgiving plans you may have.
I signed up for a 5K on Thanksgiving. That is my plan burn to eat lol
I wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving and remember it's just one meal enjoy have fun and get back on plan Friday!

I'm happy with that, I definitely haven't eaten the best this week so can't complain. Still 6.5 lbs to go...I know the end of this week will be rough with thanksgiving, but I'm hoping that by staying on track at the start of the week it'll at least average out for the week. Planning to take workout gear with me on my travels...if nothing else would like to get a walk in on Friday and Saturday.
But feeling pretty good, with about 6 weeks left in the year if I at least lose 2 lbs a week ( which I've been able to do outside of vacation weeks) I should be able to make it. Lol glad there are some cushion weeks in there!0 -
@istarith I would be super frustrated too! With training for a marathon I'm sure you're working out pretty hard....do you eat back any of your exercise calories?0
-
@motivatedsister Oh gosh no, I know better. I might eat 50 calories over one day and know that it's okay because I ran that day, but I don't let myself do it often if at all. I'm just, ugh. -_- Utterly defeated.0

Okay, lol deep breath. You know that you're building muscle and muscle is heavier than fat even though it takes up less room. So there's that. And you know that when you're just working up to a pace, like you are with your running, that sore muscles tend to hold extra water. So there's that too. And there's the fact that you could get on the scale tomorrow and be down a pound and a half - sometimes it just falls off that way. Some weeks are better than others...
All that being said, LOOK AT YOUR TOTAL. You've lost almost 10 pounds in 6 weeks - all the while, building new muscle and (I'm assuming) losing plenty of inches. Bet your clothes are filling you differently. You should be stoked!
You should be super happy with what you've done - besides, no one who sees you is ever gonna ask what the scale says - they're simply going to look at you and SEE the difference all that running has made in lean muscle and toning. You should be ultra proud of yourself.
One last thing - consider taking a day off of working out. Give the muscles a chance to rest and release that excess water build up.
I give you a two thumbs up! lol

@deety3 You beautiful woman, you. -_- I know all of those things, of course I know them... I just see all the fabulous ladies around this group - not to mention a good friend of mine in town - hit the gym on the regular, and I'm seeing the pounds literally drip off, and my scale staying put... It's rough to watch. I feel left behind. But you're right of course, I'm losing some inches. I'm extra hard on myself, and I expect a lot of myself... Including but not limited to undoable, unrealistic things like losing 3-5 pounds in a week. But I get the picture; I'll dry my eyes and stop whining - Progress is progress

Don't be so hard on yourself! The words of encouragement already told to you are spot on. Take a deep breath!
You're all kicking my butt in this challenge! I don't know that I've even made it to 10 pounds yet. But that's ok! I knew 20lbs would be a killer, especially because it's much harder for me to lose these days. 1200 calories in a day? Riiiight. Lol But I'm still losing!! I used to be just like this in the beginning. I would have a rough week, so I thought, and it would totally deflate me. I felt like all of my efforts were pointless! But they weren't. Not by a longshot! I would just get so hard on myself. 1/2 a pound? I worked so hard! I would stare at myself in the mirror and just pick out everything I still hated and that did not help. I started reading a lot of different articles and that's what personally helped me. I'm not saying that you haven't or anything, that's just what I had to do. This is going to sound cheesy but I read some of the "self love" fitness blog posts and they helped tremendously! Every effort you put in will eventually pay off. Maybe not right away or in ways that you can see, such as a number on the scale, but they're all making changes to your body for the better. The first person you have to inspire every day is yourself. Don't let it get you down. You're doing great!

Great support from the others! This is just my opinion. You are doing really well! And it sucks that the scale didn't move for you. I don't know if you weigh more than once a week or not but I'd continue sticking to your plan but weigh mid week this week. If there still isn't change - your body might be stressed. Only you know how you feel. Like low energy but still forcing those workouts. I found I stopped listening to my body and tried to force more and quicker results when the scale didn't move. (Cut more calories and workout more.) I'd encourage you to give your body at least a day of rest from running each week probably two. You don't want to get any injuries. To piggy back on Chandal - your body isn't the enemy- it's your teammate!! Try and focus on all the accomplishments you've made!!!! Your dedication and goals are super inspiring to me!!!0 -
