    I read your post and I am a kindred spirit. I have been very discouraged about my weight loss journey since January as well. I feel like I am going nowhere and trying to keep my calories low and workouts high. It's frustrating and I'm inspired there are others who experience the same.

    I've been so frustrated! I'm logging, running 8-10km 6 days a week, yet nothing is coming off. I didn't expect this to be easy, just the first 3 lbs to be easier.
    This week I'm going to (try) take a week off running, and not have exercise calories.
    Not giving up as summer will arrive regardless, and something has to give if I'm eating for weighloss eventually.

    Plasicage: I can be hard to stay positive when you don't see results starting out. . This same thing always happens to me. The first 30 days my body is just resistant to losing, then it kicks in. Keep the faith! - Stepwise123

    Thanks! Today is brutal. My muscles are tired from gym, did one set of weights in addition, and scale has gone back to 154 😔. I took few days off running earlier, and that number was 151. I'm starting my workweek now, so I may lay off exercise for few days, and just track. Just to add, I do enjoy running, so thats why I can run so much. My body is so resistant, which is good the other way, but I'm not starving myself! I eat lots of protein, fiber, and produce. At the end of the day, I want to loose fat, not water, so it should take some time.

    Plus shark week is just around the corner for me too = even more water weight. Ugh.

    I am considering doing a 21 day cleanse with our local yoga studio. It is ONLY 21 days. No alcohol, caffeine, no meat, no sugar....
    It sounds radical but I really think I need something radical. I have a million excuses why I can't do it but none are valid.
    The only problem I have is last time I quit caffeine, I had severe headaches for three days, so I may wean off that coffee slowly instead of cold turkey.
    It starts Monday. I once did the 30 day whole food challenge and I felt fabulous. I found Chipotle has a lot of good options for whole 30 diet food.

    Hope you're all doing well!
