    From one Lorna to another, don't get too discouraged. Especially since you have that bundle of joy to concentrate on. I know we're all in this for the weight loss, but also for a healthier lifestyle for ourselves and the ones we love. So think of it like that. You eating healthy and having portion control is setting a good example for your little one. I think if you try and concentrate on that (I know I tend to be pound conscious too much myself), then the weight will start dropping without you even realizing it. But in the interim, keep up the good work of taking care of yourself. And thanks for sharing your discouragement, because you are definitely not alone. You can do this!!!

    You can do it :smile: !
    Have the temp in your area been high? High humidy? This can cause you to hold water. Do you measure and/or weigh all your food? How many calories are you having a day? I know alot of ?'s but maybe it will help. :tongue:

    Hey girl!!!

    Don't get down!!! Did you read the 700 link thingie? If you have not been eating "normal" it might take just a few weeks to get your body moving in the right direction. YOU CAN DO IT!!!

    I always say, it took me years to gain this weight, I have done it "my way" for so long, so what about committing for 30 days to see what happens? I did it several months back, and well, here I am! Keep up the great habits and I can't wait to see your first really good weight loss!!! YOU GO GIRL!!!

    So what's your workout plan this week???

    YOU GO GIRL!

    I know how you feel I've been dieting for almost two months now, the first couple weeks I maybe lost 1/2 pound. But sticking with it and my exercise I can finally say that I have lost 6 pounds and the bulk of that has been the last few weeks. Keep it up, it will happen. I would still rather be 6 pounds down in two months than that two months having past and not loosing anything. Plus I think the slower you go chances are you will not gain those lost pounds back. IT WILL HAPPEN

    Rome wasn't built in a day, just keep with it and you will start to see results. Also, for me the scale is a horrible horrible little machine. :explode: I felt the loss and felt thinner but the scale either stays the same or goes up. So don't put too much stock in the scale.
    You have a made a great choice in getting healthy, stick with it!
