    The fact that I always lose fast in the beginning and it slows down so fast and the fact that the more I lose the less calories I burn doing cardio ;) I know the more you have to lose the faster it comes off but still, I need to stay focused! Then there is the fact that my husband isn't being overly positive about my weight loss :S

    Right now it is scales that so not give a accurate reading.... I can weigh 10 times and get 10 weights! Ugh!

    the day is just started and I'm already at the max of what I should eat; it is frustrating.
    I've had quite a few of eye-openers myself! Pasta, pastry, cheese etc etc..

    Bulking and gaining lean mass to then fall ill and loose it all over again twice. Which has lead to lack of motivation and dedication.

    That there are so many "experts" saying such contradictory things, confusing the heck out of me. I've decided to ignore them all for the sake of my own sanity and just keep things simple.. eat less, move more.

    I agree with you. Some of my friends get sucked into fads and programs but none of them ever commit to preparing their own healthy meals!

    I'm with you! I have no trouble eating healthily and below my kilojoule count but I really want to be able to drink more. I miss my nightly large wine and am settling for social occasions only although I drink what I want then. I'm sure it is slowing things down though.

    I am frustrated that I can't drink more wine. Honestly. Everything else is going great; I feel good, I'm losing weight, getting stronger... But that 4 oz. serving looks ridiculous in my big wine glass.

    I have plateaued too, its been a few months now and I am very frustrated. I am going by measurements at the moment as I am going down in size due to exercising 6 times a week, but my weight is moving so slowly it's ridiculous.

    It frustrates me that the scale appears not to be moving. I try to focus on my measurements because clearly I'm losing inches. 5.5 in Feb. My clothes are fitting better. My body is starting to look better. I just can't get that scale moving again. it's true I shouldn't be number focused but I watch it and want it moving.

    Not being able to do it ALL at once.
    For the first time in my life, I really enjoy running. I want to do it more.
    Pilates helps me ground myself. I want to do it more.
    I love lifting weights. I want to do it more.
    I just started Krav Maga training, and I love it. I want to do it more.
    I used to hula hoop a lot as a kid, and loved it, and just found out it's a "thing" now. I want to do it more.
    I miss the daily 5-10 mile walks and stairathons of my weight loss days. I want to do that more too.

    Sadly, I have a job, a family, multiple volunteer commitments, and a pesky lower back injury. I can't do it all. KM makes me stiff for days, and lifting when stiff is how I hurt my back. The PT I just signed up with can't meet with me on the one day a week that makes the most sense with the rest of my schedule.

    I'm struggling to find the right balance. Not a terrible problem to have, but it does frustrate me quite a bit.

    Had a procedure that i needed to get stitches in my stomach.. no bending, no twisting, no reaching, no stretching. The stitches are in for a 14 days and i am antsy to keep routine. It will all be over soon enough, but just a little frustrating when the mind and rest of the body feels good, but knowing i need to take the down time to heal.

    All in due time.. back on track.. but for now.. a smidgen frustrated. End of rant :wink:

    Finding balance... with a history of eating disorders, though physically recovered for many years now, the mental challenges still remain to a degree, meaning I am always battling to find balance between too much and too little, especially in terms of my exercise levels since I have NO problems eating plenty.

    My biggest frustration is the fact that everyone I restarted this journey with in January have all dropped out with crazy excuses!

    Seeing people write "I eat xyz, work out loads, and I'm not losing" or "I need motivation".
    Simply googling answers both these problems rather than seeing the same threads again and again :/
