New to the site, would love give/receive support :)

I'm "pushing through" right now. I've been eating right, and working out for 2.4 weeks now, I haven't lost a pound.
I won't let that stop me though, I'm learning to LOVE my time at the gym, it's my ME time. It's the only time of the day that everything I do, is for ME. Love it! :-)
Eating differently is taking some getting used to. I used to skip breakfast AND lunch. Now I'm having both, WITH snacks. It's tough, but I know I'm doing the right things, and it WILL pay off, sooner or later. (Clearly later in my case)
If you really want this, you can do it! :-)

Hi!

I haven't lost a pound since I started working out either, but you have to keep going--soon you'll see that you have more energy and overall just feel healthier. It's not always about losing weight, though that's always a plus!

I slacked off for months and gained whatever I lost back. Now I'm back to counting calories and doing yoga again. It takes a lot of effort, and building up a tougher workout routine little by little. But I think if other people can do it without going on crazy diets or paying lots of money to fitness programs, I can do it too.

You're not alone! I hope this helps!

For me, this really is a daily struggle. The way which has worked for me to "push through" is just to remember that in the end, I am eating better, exercising more, and in general being healthier than I was. If I don't lose the pounds for the week, well yeah, I didn't hit my goal. But you know what else I didn't do? I didn't eat ten times more than I should. I didn't eat two large pizzas on my own. I didn't sit in front of the TV all day long doing nothing else. I didn't give up.

It is pretty obvious to me that you are seeing the same things I am, and I sure hope many people see it like this too. That this is a journey. Every single day you will be hit with challenges. Some of them might beat you. But in the end, you are improving yourself, and you don't ever give up. To me, that's pretty awesome.

I'm new here too, and know exactly what you're talking about. While it's been several months since I've seen a weight loss (that's my own fault), I've lost 42 lbs. since Sept. '10. I can tell you that the first 8-10 lbs came off quickly, then nothing. It's very, very frustrating. I remember feeling like, "why am I working this hard if nothing is going to happen? I might as well just eat the stuff I want". But, I stuck with it, telling myself that I would stick it out for just three months...I could do anything for 12 weeks. And it actually started comming off. I didn't see a difference in clothes sizes until the 20 lbs. mark. Then people actually started noticing and commenting--very motivating! For me, I dropped a clothes size with each 20 lbs. I lost. I can guarantee you that if you'll just stick with it, and keep doing what you're doing, you're going to see results. It may not be instant, but it will happen. You can totally do this. It'll be hard. It'll be a challenge every day. But it's so worth it! You've got this. Imagine yourself at your goal weight and do what it takes to get there!
