I have been doing really good for the past 2 weeks and nothing! I was so upset this morning when I got on the scales. I haven't gained any pounds or inches but I've been swimming and doing the elipical at home for an hour for 3-5 days a week.

WHATS THE DEAL!!!!!!!

SORRY, Im just really upset!!!

Does anyone have any suggestions?

    If you hadn't been exercising before, it's normal for your muscles to start retaining water and glycogen stores.


    Give it time, and concentrate on feeling better. I know this is hard, but it takes patience!:flowerforyou:

    also keep in mind that all that working out is building muscle, which is replacing the fat..and Muscle weighs more than fat.

    Ive been having a problem with not losing pounds, but i am feeling much stronger so i know that some of that fat is gone and has been replaced with muscle.

    Chin up and keep up the good work!!!

    Yeah you gotta remeber that anything liek this takes time. About 2 years ago i lost about 50 pounds in about 6 months but it happened very slowly and i started to get really upset by the third month but i stuck to it and slowly i saw that pants were starting to slip down a little. Some of my shirts were way to big for me. It takes time you just gotta hold on and don't give up because thats when you just hurt yourself.
