Getting Upset, HELP! :(

Have you taken your measurements or do you have before pics? Maybe a comparison could help getting you upbeat again

Last week was blaahh for me, but I was feeling ill and not eating well. Just push through it and try to realize what you have accomplished so far, it should lift your spirits a bit.

Good luck!

Every tiny change you make will add up to the bigger change. Every little thing you do will help you get your goals. If you stick at it, you will see results.

You are being a fantastic role model for your daughter! Best of luck xxxx

I think we all go through times like this, try and focus on the "good stuff", you`ve done really well so far and it won`t be long before you`re back on form again. kids are a blessing and I often just hang out with mine when I feel a bit down, it works wonders.

Take care.

if you need any more support feel free to add me as a friend.

I have times like that too. Just keep at it is what I keep telling myself.

My girlfriend went through this. She realized it was due to overstress. She was teaching 3 classes a week, doing Turbo Fire, and working her normal job.

Take a week and just chillax. Get back in your groove

You didn't say how old your daughter was, could it be post partum depression. If not then I would suggest an investment in a good walking/running stroller if she is under 4. They can be gotten cheap at used sport equipment stores or good wills. :flowerforyou: She would love it and you can burn some calories in the sun together which would elevate your vitamin D count and your mood. Even if its raining softly the rain releases positive ions. I guess what I am saying is make sure the blues are not something more serious, then if not get out doors. It will switch things up and you might meet other mommies to walk/run with in the meantime.

Oh if she is older and you can afford a swim class for your child, then that worked for me in the long ago past. While my daughter took lessons I would do laps or walk in the pool. Excellent, fun calorie burner.

You are not alone. Slow and steady wins the race. Your body is changing, sometimes in our eagerness we don't have our eyes open to see it. Or as my Dad loves to say " a watched pot never boils"

I was going to email you, but i see there are a few people having this issue. I'll copy and paste what i wrote on my post.

"Today was my one month reassessment; I lost 4lbs in one month. I have written previous topics about not expecting too much too soon, let things happen naturally, you can’t control how much weight you lose. Stress = resistance of what is. If you don’t lose the weight you expect, some people are resisting reality with what they expected; this will only lead to frustration and possibly giving up. You can only control your actions, what you eat, and when or what you do for exercise.

When I found out I lost 4lbs… I was like “that’s not much, but it’s better than zero, so my weight is going in a positive direction.” I started a resistance training this month also, I am pretty sure that I gained some muscle mass. I posted my 4lbs loss on my wall and how I felt about it. I am pretty experienced in this field, I also have some friends who are also very experienced, they said “what you’re doing with your diet will preserve a lot of muscle mass.” I then remembered I measured my bodyfat 1 month ago exactly, lucky me. I checked my body fat percentage. The results were truly amazing, 2inches from my stomach gone and my body fat dropped 7%. I compared how much muscle I gained to the fat loss, The difference was exactly 4 pounds. The results are so unbelievable when I told my friend’s about it, they where very skeptical, I am still skeptical, math doesn’t lie. I do see some change in body composition but not much. This means that my fat pretty much got replaced by the muscle mass. Some will probably say “well you didn’t get much results because fat is 4 times the volume of muscle.” Yes, and the difference is the results I see. I won’t share my results here because I know people will say “that’s not possible.” As some of you know people who are starting out in resistance training tend to put on more muscle mass than someone who has been doing it for a long time, same goes for weight loss.

. Like I said I am skeptical of my results but I can’t argue with the numbers. If my results are real, this means that you may not be getting much results in terms of “weight loss” but you might be doing amazing things behind the fat that you can’t see happening. If you feel down by your lack of progress, you actually might be making great progress, it’s best to keep track of multiple indicators of fat loss. Such as weight, bodyfat, and inches "

Hang in there kiddo…I know it’s frustrating but if you are staying within your calorie limits and getting your exercise in, it will come off…just keep on keeping on and it will happen.
