Frustrated today! I have been working out since Jan 14...I decided to Join a local athletic club for my birthday in jan. I gained weight during pregnancy and have not been able to shed much. My daughter is over 2...So... I have been working out for 2 months and I do feel better and stronger however I haven't shed a pound. I still need to lose the weight, 30 lbs to be where I know I should be. I joined this site because a trainer at the gym suggested it. It is great! I am going to try to keep recording my calories and hopefully it helps me stay on track and get closer to my goals. It is nice to see others share my goals and frustrations. Everybody keep up the good work! Any tips are welcomed.
Thanks
Carrie

how much are you eating hun? Do you track your exercise cals? If yes, how, and do you eat them back? Normally I would just say stick with it, it'll happen but with 36 lbs to go and 2 months of nothing, something's gotta give. Give us more info and we might be able to help you figure it out.0

Well based on my calories today what it seems to come down to is the amount of calories from fat that I consume. Today is my first day on the site. I am going to use the recommendations from this site and see if I can make some progress.0

If today is your first day on mfp, track your calories, make sure you eat back your exercise calories, and see how it goes in the next 2 weeks. IMHO, if you're eating healthy food, it doesn't really matter where your calories come from if you meet your daily goal. So, if you end up with 30-40% fat but meet your calories, don't worry so much about that. Focus on healthy. Good luck!! We're here for you!!:happy:0
