just wanna cry :O(

Keep going!!! You wont see any weight loss for the first few weeks. I started working my *kitten* off end of January and only started losing decent amounts of weight end of March!!! Then it just dropped off!!! I think for women, you usually wont see too much difference until 6-8weeks after, so keep going - trust me, you will get there!!!

If you feel like youre starving yourself try to eat a little more. Are you eating back your exercise cals?

Rant all you like.... that is what we have to do sometimes....It just makes us feel better to get it out.

DO NOT GIVE UP. Stick with it. You will start to see the difference.

What is your calorie intake? How did you set your goals? People tend to set their goals too high at first wanting to lose as many pounds as fast as they can but that takes their daily calorie allowance very low. Be realistic, 1/2 to 1 lb. per week loss, that should set your calorie goal at a pretty good setting. Remember to eat back your exercise calories as this also helps the hunger. The more you exercise the more you can eat.

Hang in there, it will happen. It took my body 2 wks. to figure out things had changed and to start shedding the pounds.

Good Luck!!!!

you will get there dont worry i was the same way i love food and i always ate when i wasnt even hungry on top of that it was always fast food somtimes brkfst lunch and even dinner the first few weeks are the hardest i have my days where i just wanna cry bc i feel like im trying so hard and i didnt lose anything and just want nto go grab a burger but keep trying your hardest you will get there even if it takes you forever just think about how good you will feel it will pay off

mcdonalds for breakfast. really? sounds like you are going through detox. Mcdonalds is the problem

Your side hurts? Did you pull a muscle or is it more internal? You shouldn't be in pain...that's not going to help the process. If you strained something in a workout, you should change your routine or even give yourself a day off.

If taking a sometime off and/or taking some ibuprofen doesn't help the pain, you should see a doctor. 3 weeks is a long time to have pain without it abating or knowing what it's from.

Eat all your allotted calories too, so you can fuel your workouts (and repair after injury).

I just took a look at a couple days of your diary. First of all it looks like you are not eating enough. You have to eat your exercise calories. Especially if you are starving all the time. It also looks like you eat a fair bit of processed foods. Try and incorporate more fresh fruits and vegetables and lean meat. Make your oatmeal at home instead of buying the stuff at McDonalds, you'll get more bang for your buck.

Don't cry. Fight back.

:flowerforyou: We've all been there. Into the second week of my diet I was one cranky lady because I was super hungry. Now things have settled down and I have some success to keep me going. It will be the same for you. Just keep going. One "cheat" is not going to kill you, so don't let it make you feel guilty. Focus on making better choices throughout the rest of the day. Maybe a slow walk later to stretch out your side. Just don't give up! Think about all the good you are doing for yourself, scale be D@#$#$. YOU CAN DO IT!

Try something different. If what you're doing isn't working, then you need to try something else.
I suspect that something in your diet is tripping you up. Are you tracking your food and intake water accurately? No cheating? Those cheats'll get ya. Even the "little" ones.
I've discovered (while on the 17-Day Diet) that eating carbs late in the day -- even when my calories are completely on target -- cause a weight shift in the morning. In fact, I am probably carb-sensitive.
By following the 17-Day Diet (with minimal cheating I was able to drop 10 pounds in the first 17 days. In the second 17 days, I'm hoping for 5 pounds, but the foods change and the weight loss isn't quite as fast.

I've been on here for 25 days....this time around....I actually started in January but wasn't doing what I needed to do...charting food....even when its a bad day....you gotta see what your putting in...even if its just a bite! I did that for a few weeks before I actually saw it...you know....I have to say for me I couldn't eat right and exercise all at once...so I focused on just eating right for a week or two and then added working out...and I don't do a 1 hour workout. I do like 20 min workouts ( there are some great ones on demand/cable) and I walk and ride my bike now...still only doing 20 mins of some workout ( I use the 10 lb slimdown...its NOT too hard) and then try to walk a mile or so...in the last 25 days I have built up to 4 miles...but I started small and workout on it. I have a loooooong way to go and I figure if I go full force I won't finish the race...so ease up....remember you didn't add it all at once. And YOU MUST eat the calories you earn from working out...You will see alot of people here that don't but you don't your metabolism to slow down which is what will happen...and you WILL go into starvation mode....I haven't been able to eat every single calorie but most of them...and have lost every week in these last 25 days...You can do this...

I am here for you if you wish to friend me....YOU ARE MORE THAN CAPABLE. STAY FOCUSED...CRY, YELL, SCREAM AND THEN PICK URSELF UP AND HIT IT AGAIN!

Don't quit, don't give up, I know exsactly what you going throw cry all you want b/c it helps when u take it all out, feel free to add me and we can help each other throw this. But don't quit you are in the right track Good luck with everything

It took a little more than a month before I saw results too. It usually does when I have been sedentary for too long. I glanced at your diary and my recommendation (for what it's worth) would be to eat less preprepared and prepackaged foods. A lean cuisine may be low cal but they are not very filling. You can get more volume and nutrition by preparing your own food, such as a big bowl of stir fried veggies and a whole grain (brown rice, quinoa, bulgar, etc.), or a whole grain wrap stuffed with greens and lean fish or chicken. Something like that. Eat as many veggies as possible because they are a low cal nutritious way to fill your tummy.

Try to measure your self, this helps me the scale wont move!
