Rest day today and yesterday. I feel gross and fat and wonder if I will ever freaking lose weight. Haven't in awhile. I'll keep on keeping on though. :frown:0

I'm quitting this challenge.0

What? Why? Don't quit!0
-
Cause I don't feel like I am making any progress. Not sure what is going on with me but I'm not losing weight and I'm pushing myself as hard as I can without overtraining. I'll stick with the challenge for one more week. but if nothing changes I'm done. I'm at wits end with this. Being the same weight, measurements and looking the same for sooooo long and trying sooooo hard wears on me.0

Do you do cardio? How did you calculate your TDEE? I would suggest you perhaps are overtraining, because you've said a few times in your blog that you're sore. How much sleep do you get? Also, whats your goal?0

Don't quit!
First off, you've only been at it a little over two weeks; unfortunately, for us women, weight loss doesn't happen as quickly as we'd like because of water balance issues.
I guessed at your activity level but using the Katch-McArdle method of estimating TDEE, it looks like you're exactly where you should be for a 15% cut. Unfortunately when your deficit is only 15% it pretty much means that you can kiss any results good bye when you 'cheat', even just a little bit. You posted that you had a 'bad' weekend last week so that may explain why the scale hasn't really budged.
Don't give up hope just yet. I'm not ready to throw in the towel just yet either, though my back has pretty much sidelined me from any and all physical activity. I hope this helps and I in no way mean to sound officious by it
Just trying to point out some stuff because it's easier to see from an outsider's perspective.
Also consider, you look great! So there's something to be happy about.0 -

Not at it only two weeks. This time yes. But, I wasn't losing weight to begin with awhile ago so I went on a 'bulk' so that I wouldn't just quit altogether. Now that the bulk has stopped nothing seems to change either. Blah. I'll keep at it for another week like I said. But if that doesn't produce something, then I'll just continue on with my mfp and stop this challenge for now. and i did have a bad weekend last week.
I'm just being a big baby that is frustrated. I know. 0 -

I don't get super sore but I do get a little due to the change from 5-7 reps to 10-12. I don't think I'm overtraining now though. Just do a 4 day split with supersets of about 3 groups. And some days I run 2 miles ends up being about 2-3 times a week. Sleep on average 6-8 hours a night. My goal?? to not be fat. lol. Um, I guess, ideally I want to drop about 5 more BF points. Right now according to my pinch test i'm at 23%.0 -

try logging and eating your training, and see if that makes a difference. Eating habits can totally distort the scales as well. I weighed in at 78kg today, so the scales tell me i've lost not a lot of weight. On the other hand, my measurements from Saturday disagree and so does the mirror. I coincidently ate pizza and KFC this weekend and drank far too much Gin0

Sooo, I changed my goal weight to 140lbs. Right now I'm at 148. So I have 8 lbs to lose. I want to stay around 140 and just manipulate my BF% to get to around 16-18% someday.
Didn't run last night, I was really really really worn out, but I did force myself to do a crossfit WOD with BW exercises and that kicked my booty.

Nutrition yesterday went over a bit because I've been so hungry and I had to choose a different dinner than I had planned due to an impromptu visit to the husbands families house. Also, My carbs have been up and protein lower because I need to buy some more protein powder. The only kind I have at home right now is the leftover kind from my bulk which is high in carbs.
