I am so frustrated today. I have not lost any weight...in fact I gained a pound....probably related to my TOM...but regardless it has been a huge bummer.

So I decided to list what I am doing that is better for me....my success....

*drinking water....20 days ago I would go weeks without water...I drank diet pepsi, milk, juice....but hardly any water....
*I am eating a healthy breakfast
*I am saving money because I am not going to starbucks each day and taking a healthy lunch to work
*I am eating fruits and veggies.
*I am thinking before I eat
*I am moving more
*I have not quit....I always quit....I lose the first 5 pounds and then I quit. I have never stuck with it past about 15 days or so...

I am worth sticking with this....my kids are worth it....my friends...my life....it is worth living well. I am not quitting.

    Great job!! making the commitment is the hardest part. Just stick with it and the changes will come. Be sure to look at measurements too, not just the scale. I've lost several inches, without losing a pound. Now the pounds are starting to come off too. Just keep at it!

    Don't quit. I started eating healthy and working out everyday over a month ago. And instead of losing weight, I gained a pound too. It was so frustrating to know that I was doing everything right, but see no progress.Well I stepped on the scale yesterday, and I had lost 4 pounds. So, sometimes it takes longer for certain people, but your hard work IS going to pay off.

    Keep it up!! I haven't been doing this long, but I hate the times that I do well and don't lose....I have found that if I power through, all of a sudden 2 pounds come off at once! Just don't give up :)

    I love your list! Hang in there--I empathize with your frustration, as I have days when I feel like I have been doing so good that I should have lost 10 lbs overnight! But you have made some awesome changes and you are amazing! You can do it!

    I am so frustrated myself that I don't know what to do anymore!!! I have been at it for over a month now and have only lost 1 pound so far. I see other people posting 2 lb weight loss a week and my scale just seems stuck!!!

    - I drink at least 10 (8oz) glasses of water per day. No sodas or juices pass my lips anymore
    - Only have oatmeal and fruit for breakfast every morning
    - I usually have veggies and fish or plain chicken breast for lunch
    - Snacks are usually less than 100 cals per snack
    - I do not go over my 1200 cal per day goal
    - I exercise at least 40 mins per day (20 mins in the am and another 20 in the pm)

    And still, after all this, I have still lost nothing!!! I am completely at a loss

    great attitude... take some measurements... inches are better than pounds anyway.

    SLOW AND STEADY! My scale will show the exact same number down to the OUNCE, for two weeks then suddenly I will lose 2-3 pounds! It is frustrating but worth it on those days. Keep it up!

    Good for you! These are some of the same things I had to remind myself of when I ate over maintenance yesterday.
