i am soo depressed i want to quit this!!

What are you eating?

Oh no!! I'm sorry you've been feeling this way!! How has your diet been? How long have you been at it? Do you use workout videos or anything like that?

I'm sorry your struggling. Are you eating quality calories?

fitness experts reccommend revving it up with your excercise if you start to plateau, with your injuries could you maybe take on swimming? and boxing is good you can just do the punches without any of the lower body stuff

also maybe make a change in what you are eating, are you only eating the same kind of foods? maybe your body is craving some big changes

Has it only been one week? Sometimes you just don't lose weight for a week or two and then it comes off after that. You can't count on it being steady.

You probably arent eating enough.
That effects hormones!

Calculate your calories at Fat To Fit Radio under tools.
Do the military body fat calc then the BMR tool.
Someone at your age under eating is deadly!

If you need help let me know.

Maybe quit your diet now and revamp it into something that will work? Have you thought about altering the goal settings? Myself, if I don't eat lower carb foods I will not loose.

Your diary is not visible to us, so it's anybody's guess. I could probably guess what the issue is, but it would be random and irresponsible of me to say anything without seeing what you've been eating.

I started working out at Premier and my worst friend has always been my scale. It seems to call my name, and I find myself on it daily. Well this morning was my regular weigh in day, and after all the workouts I had been doing, I was really upset at 0.5 pounds off for the week. I eat healthy, and measure everything, and have been here almost 2 years but due to hernias never been aloud to workout at a gym, just walk. After my weigh in I went on to Premier and told my trainer how upset I was with my weigh in this morning. She told me to throw out the scales, and start going with my measurements every 6 weeks instead. She then had me hold 5 pounds of something that was supposed to represent fat, and 5 pounds of something that was supposed to be muscle. The 5 pounds of fat was way larger then the 5 pounds of muscle. ( her being a trainer explained it way better then I just did) Otherwise, she said that I will be loosing inches more then pounds now because I am toning up muscles. Maybe you are doing the same and should start by taking your measurements every 6 weeks instead of your weight.

I agree with the above - get checked!
And even healthy folks feel as you do at times.

Actually, most people do quit, so if you did, you'd be in the majority.
It's hard work, and some weeks, progress seems so slow.
I feel you!
We can offer you encouragement and inspiration but motivation is all on you.
That comes from within; it's internal.
Not withstanding any medical issues, there are things you can try.
To punch through this wall of doubt, look within and answer for yourself:
Why do I want to be healthy and fit?
And attach great pleasure to that as you set these goals.
And then ask yourself why do you NOT want to be fat?
Attach great pain to all the reasons you do not want to be fat.
Few people can actually do this which is why most people just quit.
This is the key to internal motivation.
Take the time to do this, and you'll never really consider quitting ever again.
Sure, you may have challenges; we all do, but you'll keep punching and reach your goals.

All Is Possible!

Honestly without your food diary open people would have to be psychic to offer much help. Dont give up

I love this!

Awwww.... super cute. What he said!! ^^^^^^

This...open up your diary.

It's the menopause monster - soo sooo easy to gain and soo soo hard to lose. I'm in the same boat. Some days the scale goes up just by thinking about food or wine! The meno-monster plays tricks with our minds and makes us want to quit - it's hard - i have no magic advice to give -let's just keep plugging along - I think a week where you don't lose weight is better than if you had gained weight. No matter what anyone says about "throwing out the scale" - I can't - stepping on a scale once a week helps my brain register what I did right or wrong the week before.
