    Just for fun: sign up with a personal trainer to find out what i'm doing wrong

    I had minor surgery on Tuesday and just think it's water retention but it doesn't make me feel any better. I can't exercise yet, but I'm eating the calories 1350 (healthy foods measuring and recording everything) and drinking lots of water 2ltr a day.

    This is just frustrating. How accurate are the food listings?!? Do you use MFP or your own list?

    2/28 (or whatever weigh in days you use)

    Total weight lost: 0

    Well, there is no way that I ate enough to gain 3 pounds in a week, but this plateau has been SOOO hard to break! I'm upping my workout times, increasing my walk/run mileage and keeping up with my tracking. So if this keeps me at a plateau, where would my body be if I didn't try at all? Back to the beginning I guess. No thanks!

    Just for fun: What are you going to do for yourself when you lose 5 pounds this month? Get a new mani-pedi.

    NOTE: These posts reset at 500. If the thread locks, go to the last post and look for the link to get to the second installment.

    Happy Fitness!!
