Over 200 club week 6

jocelynnbug

i've been getting very frustrated lately, I am a scale addict not going to lie so i weighed myself this morning and i havent lost anything and i have been exercising like crazy, and not eating bad at all staying within my calories completely no cheating at all i'm so frustrated i hate it. I always try to look at how i feel and look rather than focusing all on the scale but it is still very hard to stay motivated does anyone understand how i feel

Totally get it! You have to remember that, the easiest part of the weight at the begining is water weight. Which once you start eating healthy and excercising is easy to get rid of, once you get past that, it gets harder and harder to peel the pounds. Try increasing your excercise routine a little, if you've been doing the same sort of thing, your body may be trying to tell you it's time for a change. Goodluck. :flowerforyou:

Hi my name is Ashley and I am a scale addict too! I weigh myself almost every morning. My weighin that counts most to me is my wednesday one ad that is the day I chose and log into mfp. I also weigh fridays to post here. Are you drinking your water and watching your sodium? I know that stuff really affects me. I only get a good work out at the gym in 2-3 .times a week. I know that my weight is always up the day after. Not sure what causes it. I would just stick with it and the weight will start moving again. The scale just started moving again for me after a 3-4 week plateau. Another thing that I have heard worked for others is to mix up your calories. Maybe try eating 100-200 more for a day or two. Just stick with it

I know everyone say's this but it is true. You also have to reallize that muscle weighs more than fat. (and looks nicer) Check your measurements. I was feeling real down last week because I only lost 1/2 pound. But then I check my measurements and a lot has come off. Stay motivated. Remember you have done so well this far and take it one day at a time. keep up the good work, I know you can do it.:flowerforyou:

thanks everyone, i know i have measured myself and nothing off my hips in 2 weeks and 1 inch off my waist, i weighed myself today and i lost 1 pound better than nothing but it is just very frustrating to not see anything on the scale even though i know that i shouldn't be focusing on that it really is hard,

To tell everyone the truth i use to rarely exercise like once a week if that. My husband and I bought gym memberships we always went together at the beginning of the year but after 3 weeks he stopped going so that made me not want to go so i could spend time with him. I finally realized that whether he went or not i need to work out, the first week i went to the gym for a little over a hour 3 days and than did my FiRM video for 2 days, than last week i had the flu so monday i did my FiRM video but the rest of the week i couldn't exercise and i lost a pound.

This week i went to the gym Mon, Tues for an hour and a half each and tues, and wednesday i did my Firm video so thats what made me so mad even though i know better you guys know how it is right?

You say as long as i look good and inches are coming off, you feel really great again, starting to feel sexy again, than you go to the scale knowing you lost weight and nothing.

sorry wanted to vent and explain what made me so frustrated with not loosing anything and than this morning it said i lost 1 pound who knows if that is a real pound because i took the day off yesterday to let my body recover.

thank you to everyone who wrote responses and i will keep everything in mind and take your ideas to boost my weight lose again :drinker:

ok so this is kinda pathetic. I only did 3 jumping jacks all week. I was in a car accident about 9 years ago and some reptitive movements really hurt my right knee. Jumping jacks was one of them. I hope as I lose some more weight and strengthen and tone my body this knee will get better. Anyways 1.6lb weight loss for the week.

jocelynnbug~hang in there the scale will keep moving. Just keep eating right and drinking your water and keep moving. Your body will catch up with your changes. 1 lb is awesome that is one lb you will never see again.

Momma2four~way to go on the inches lost.

Good luck everyone today with your weighin.

It is not pathetic, if it hurts and it is an old injury it is not good to do until your body is ready. You did the right thing. Good Job on the weight loss this week.

I am right there with you on being obsessed with the freakin scale.I wanna pitch the thing this week.I have even beeen on a liquid diet this week because I can't chew anything because my wisdom teeth hurt and I am hoping I will get them pulled soon and when I do I will be on a liquid diet for another 2 weeks after having them pulled.So all in all I am going to be on a liquid diet for another freaking month and the scales still haven't budged anymore. So depressing you would think the weight would fall off but no still the same.So my weigh in today was nothing.

Momma2four

awestfall, do not be discouraged. You are working so hard. Your wisdom teeth may have a bit of an infection which will mess your whole system up. As soon as this is taken care of you will feel better. My sympathy for you though. tooth pain is the worse.

Yes it is!! I am on antibiotics right now and trying not to be too discouraged.My family gets to eat normal food and I have to drink my nutrients for the next month because I can't chew and I am waiting to have my teeth pulled so I will be on liquids for awhile.Thanks for the words of encouragement its just hard to stay focused on other things when your in pain all day and night ya know.

Don't be discouraged. Infection plays all kinds of havoc with your body, such as increasing your blood glucose. The body needs extra nutrients to fight off the infection. But don't worry. The work you are putting in now will likely still show up on the scale in the next week or two. Just be sure to stay hydrated! I think it might be sort of like my period 2 weeks ago... I was retaining water, so the day of my weigh in, I lost almost nothing. But the following week, the fat I had burned was still gone, so when the water went away, the scale reflected all that work. Keep your chin up!

CARDIO CHALLENGE IT IS!! This week cardio it up to the max girls and guys.GOOD LUCK and START SWEATING>:flowerforyou:

Amber42803

Sounds GREAT. I'm soooo in!

Let me ask this, my stepmom lent me this Tae-Boe Video. This that's cardio-enough? Or should I do something else? I ask because I have done the workout before, but I have NO balance, and it's hard to do some of the excercises they have on there. Any suggestions?

Welll I consider Tae Bo to be cardio so go for it my dear.Kick some butt this week literally.

Amber42803

Thanks! Even with my lack of balance you think it'll have the same effect? I mean, I know he says to use a chair and all, but...seriously....it gets to be a pain in the butt! (Bad back.) :huh:

Thanks for the advice!

Started my challenge today and did 1 mile jogging and 2 miles walking ...:drinker:

Momma2four

My Hubby has become motivated and he has decided he is going to help me on this exercise journey. Saturday, we went on a 1hour 40 minute bike ride. Today we went on a 63 minute bike ride. I am enjoying this so much. If you would have told me 3 months ago that I would really enjoy a difficult and long bike ride I would have laughed but this was really fun.

pegm

I got a 40 min run/walk in yesterday on the school track.. that kicked my but and I felt it today. I love being outside, but the treadmill is much kinder on my body. I was able to do 5 miles today, about 85 min. worth. Kick some cardio butt this week everyone!

Momma2four

I just tried to go on a bike ride. I only lasted 20 minutes. Almost 90* here already. :mad: The high is going to be 95*:explode: . Hopefully this evening I can take another one when it starts to cool down. :glasses: I may try a dvd workout today to get in more than 20 minutes of cardio . wtg everyone. I think the cardio challenge is great. Helps keep me motivated. Good luck everyone.

You just did if you like. Our challenge for this week is cardio. On fridays we report our weight loss and check in. We just try to encourage each other to keep on keeping on. I am fairly new to this group myself and it has been an added tool to encourage my weight loss. So welcome
