Just wanted to vent and in need of some support. :)

Last week was amazing, burned over 7000 calories in 6 days!! I had a 3 pound weight loss when I weighed in last Monday. This week, I feel tired and feel the need to eat more and I eat away my exercise calories. I feel somewhat heavy..like I gained a few even though I didn't. I have a 5K this Saturday so I feel like exercising 90 minutes a day is an excuse to rest up and I know I can double that a day. I crave for heavy workouts even though sometimes I just don't have the energy like I have been this week..lack of exercise like this upsets me because I want good losses each week. Last 2 months I've had 2 pound losses and like to stay at that.

Don't get discouraged - you are doing GREAT!

I can't imagine being able to do a 5K as heavy as I am, but you are doing it and that is AMAZING! Maybe you do need to sleep more, or maybe you aren't getting enough water OR, and this is a definite possibility, you may not be getting enough B vitamins, which help with energy.

Keep up the great work!

This the right place for support. I cant wait til
I can do that kind of exercise, keep up the great work. We all have those weeks, still having mine but trying to work thru it. You can too

If you over work youself you will zap your energy instead of increasing it. I had that problem when I fist started running. I felt great while I was running and burning all thos calories, but I was pushing myself too hard and when I go home from my run I was too exhausted to do anything else all day. I had to slow down and not push so hard and make sure I was eating enough in order to get my energy back.

Just think positive and stay active. If I'm tired I atleast do a 30 min walk on the treadmill or bike and get a B12 shot at the Dr.....congratulations on your weight loss success and being able to participate in a 5k that is great! :happy:

Yeah, you're doing great...I feel like every week or 2 I plateu because I will weigh myself everyday. And for about 4 or 5 of those days, my weight stays about the same, either a pound more or less...then around the week or week and a half time is when I see results....so I'm sure if you keep doing what you've been doing you'll be ok!...5k...thats impressive X]]
