    I don't know whats wrong.... I have put on 6 pounds since the 2nd of October!!! I have been counting my calories, with a few mishaps here and their but over all pretty good. I have been lifting weights with my trainer pretty hard, but have also added 2 hour more a week of cardio on top of what I was already doing. So I am doing about 6 hours of cardio a week. My trainer and husband say I shouldn't look at the scale and that muscle weighs more than fat, but it is discouraging! I really want to get down to 135-140 and I'm not going in that direction! What do I do????

    Maybe look at your salt intake. If you are eating a lot of foods high in sodium then you will be retaining water. The only other suggestion I have is to track EVERYTHING - every little bite of anything, every latte, etc. You are doing a lot and if you continue to work out like that the weight will definitely come off. :)

    Still at 137. I've been slacking on exercising. I had some decent days, but there are days I end up deciding I'd rather just eat less than get up and move. That's so dumb - when I exercise I feel so much better and so much more energetic, and I sleep better......sigh.

    But I want to meet this challenge and I want to make the gut take off like the butt did!

    I've also been on kind of a cheese kick. That makes me a bit.....well, you know what cheese does. :blushing:

    You are doing great! At least you haven't gained any back. Just push yourself to exercise a little more this next week and I'll bet you will lose :)

    I haven't weighed in again. The scale is still hidden in the closet. I will weigh-in this Friday to get a feel for my beginning weight for November. Then I don't think I'll weigh-in until the middle of the month and then the end of the month :) I'm totally behind on the crunches and lunges! Will have to make up for them!! So far I have completed 7.2 miles this week!

    1. Lets try to burn 2000 calories this week!
    2. do 50 pushups everyday( can do them on your knees, against a wall, or countertop...whatever works for you
    3.drink 10-12 glasses of water each day

    Oh man pushups are going to be a hard one for me..

    Good luck.

    Ugh! Push ups... almost as hard for me as crunches! LOL! I guess that means that is why I need to do them :) Good challenge! :)
