I swear, my body hates me!! It seems when I gorge myself on coffee, pizza, chocolate, and pasta these days the weight does come off.. but when I eat totally clean and healthy the scale doesn't budge. Of course I am still running 5k a day but it ain't moving. Grr!!!! Sometimes I ask why bother eating so healthy when everytime I go 100% clean the scale never moves.

Just had to vent.. Ive been at 241lb for the past 3 weeks! :'(

    I think the reason why you lose weight when you eat the bad stuff ( well first I don't know how many calories you eat a day) but when a person eats lets say 1500 calories for more then 17 days your body gets used to it. So when you eat the bad stuff and run like a mad person you will lose weight. Thats why people say the 17 day diet is really good because its scientifically proven that our bodies get used to something after 17 days. So you need to switch it up. So for starters for the first 17 days cut out all "white stuff" like sugar and flour. Then the next 17 days slowly add in the sugar and flour back but eat like 1200 calories a day instead of 1500. If you switch up your diet often the body never has anytime to get used to that diet.

    Also you could try upping your water intake to like 2-3 liters for a day and that could help to. That should flush a few things out.

    And you don't have to do the diet like how I said. Make it your own but switch it up often! Hope this helps!

    Personally don't think of it. Just keep on eating right and exercising. Make sure your getting enough water 10 cups and have fun. Bring up some of the positives that came so far like dropping a size or feeling better. Beating yourself to death with numbers isn't very healthy nor fun. Its a lifestyle change not a Job.

    I REALLY like what you wrote and just seeing how far you've come I have to say is inspiring. I"m definitely not giving up. I am pushing on. I push myself every time I get on my elliptical. Even every day stuff.... I run after the kids across parking lots and play with them outside. :D
