Christmas GW - 2580 -
I got on the scale this morning and just wanted to cry :sad: My weight didn't move at all from last week, I'm so frustrated! I've only been on here for two weeks. The first week I just watched what I ate and lost 4 lbs, it was great! This past week I started exercising thinking that the numbers would just fly off the scale and instead they haven't budged at all. I'm staying under my calories and drinking between 8-13 glasses of water a day. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Has anyone else had this problem? Is my body just in total shock of me exercising it doesn't know what to do? Lol HELP, I need advice!!!0

Sorry you are feeling discouraged! The first week or so I think everyone loses a bunch--I lost 6 lb! But it's mostly water. What kind of exercise are you doing? If it's strength training, you may just be building some muscle. Don't stop--you will see results! Also, did you take any measurements? Sometimes you can lose inches without losing pounds.0 -

I've not measured myself so that is a good idea. Exercising I've been doing the treadmill, walking the dog when the weather is nice, exercise bike, and Wii aerobics...no strengh training yet.0

Weigh in day... lost 3.2

FINALLY! I was not seeing the scale move for the last few weeks, however, I did move my belt a notch, so I know my measurements are at least shrinking. Looking forward to this weeks push-up challenge, that is my least favorite exercise, now I have to do them....0 -

I really understand this. I usually lose weight every other week. I work out everyday, and do a ton of cardio but my weight loss is very slow. Just keep up the good work and I am sure you will see a difference next week. Four pounds in the first week is awesome. I usually lose that in a month. 0 -

Maybe eat a few more of your calories? I know that when I started to really work out, the same thing happened to me and when I was told to make sure to eat more calories, that worked and the scale moved again this week. I haven't gone over, and I don't usually eat back all of my exercise calories, but I do try to hit my daily goal. Not sure if this would work for you also, but it did work for me!0 -
Happy weigh-in day everyone! Here's my results for week 1...
SW: 168
CW: 165.8!!
GW: 158
So excited to be down 2.2 pounds for the week!! This group is really helping my motivation. Good luck to everyone else who'll be stepping on the scale today! 0 -
Last week: 165 lbs
This week: 160 lbs
= -5 lbs!!!
A little less exciting than it seems because I can usually get to 160 fairly easily, but it's good all the same. I've been teetering between 160-165 for the past year, hopefully I'll finally be able to get below that next week.
On another note, I've been eating a bunch of oatmeal lately, and I think it's really helped a lot. I'd definitely recommend it to others, especially if you've been having trouble feeling full. It's a good source of soluble fiber and will lower your bad cholesterol without negatively affecting the good cholesterol. Mix it with some fruits and a little bit of cinnamon and it's pretty tasty!0 -
Congrats on five pounds, awesome job!0

^^ this for sure!! If you are not eating your exercise calories, you are putting your body in a deficit. Think of it this way...you eat, you exercise...which then burns calories. your body needs to replace those calories. Now, I realize this is different for everyone, whether it works or not....OR whether they believe it or not. trust me, you need to eat as close to your calorie goal as possible after exercising. it increases for a reason...to EAT!! I kinda look at it this way too...the more I exercise, the more I get to eat! :bigsmile:
You can also research forums on here about eating exercise calories back.0 -
