12 Weeks Until Halloween=Let's Do This!

ive been working out and dieting like crazy and I havent lost a pound. Since before joining the site Ive lost 4 inches in my waist and 4 in my hips....but so far no astronomical results. The site says I should be losing at least a pounds a week but no such luck. Im doing everything Im supposed to. I dont get it.

By no means am I tempted to give up...I just see everyone having results weekly and I get none of that

I just finally became honest with myself and knew what I was doing wrong, and FINALLY got control. And I stuck to those calories allotted even on days I couldn't exercise.

i am getting really annoyed with one day feeling all gung ho and the next not really caring!!!

is anyone else experiencing this??? it's really frustrating. i know it's just a mind game but it throws me

for a loop:grumble:

mood today???? just get through work....

just wanted to vent.....

wow i like this! i just joined today and I have never really done the halloween thing cuz i thought i would never look cute in anything so this year i will!!!! im sooo excited

I've been gung ho for about 3 months and I'm running out of steam. You're right, it is a mind game. I have to set little mini goals for myself. Right now, I can't wait to get into the 160s. Then I'll concentrate on the 150s, and so on.

Also, I started a 30 Day Shred group to start on Sept 1st. I just got the dvd and have never done it. I'm just about at my cycling goal and I need to do something new. Joining challenge groups on this site helps. Feel free to join in if you think it will help... :happy:

Checking in... No change for me this week
Last week 175 lbs
This week 175 lbs
Halloween goal 11 lbs (167 lbs)
Still 8 more to go!!!

i am pretty sure it's water weight. i think it's better to view weight loss or gain as an average of you net calories.

ott....i am so hungry today and i don't know why????? it's annoying.....:grumble:

Shucks, feeling kind of discouraged.... :grumble: :explode:

Weight is 165, up 2 lbs. again.
Doing odd numbers now - 165 & 163
Used to be evens - 166 & 164 :bigsmile:

Blaaaah.......... worked out like a fiend yesterday. :grumble:
Didn't eat all cals yesterday. Ate more on the weekend, less exercise.
Isn't it supposed to balance out? :noway: :grumble:

I'm trying to stay happy about my initial 30 lbs. down.
Can't seem to move beyond that. :sad:

How many cals are you to net?

I'm still in, but won't weigh myself for a bit. I was pretty good on trip #1, that's the easier of the 3. I did eat pretzel and peanut butter crap last night and was for sure over my cals, but I haven't been able to exercise. Today I am doing something. Still sore, but HAVE to do something. That's my prob. I'm losing any muscle I had!

well i am up .2 of a pound. not detrimental but still the wrong direction!!!

oh well keep going and i know it will come around. to be really honest with myself i can think back to all

of the little nibbles and cravings i gave into. i seem to do this when i get a little success. keep thinking

"i can have a little of this or that cause look how far i've come" i gotta nip that in the bud!!!

well today is a new day so i will move forward and not look back :flowerforyou:

have a great day everyone~~~:drinker:

Weighed and measured today. Measurements are the same but down 1/2 pound....slowly but surely!

You have only 10 lbs that's why girl! It friggin sucks, I've been riding the rollercoaster for over a year! I question my recent weight loss. Don't feel or look lighter, but have my food in control. I've cut the sugar. It's been 2 weeks. And this is the best and longest I've ever done.:bigsmile: My exercise is so bad and absent though because I'm still so sore. I have 2 weeks of trips coming up-the big tests. Last year when I went, I was party girl, drinking and dancing and having a blast. This year, I'll be pouting in my room. I have a reputation to uphold! Keep going guys, we can do this!:drinker:

yeah the 10 pounds come off slow when it's the end. i also wonder if they come off slower according

to your height? it may sound silly but i just think these little bodies just don't change that easily.

like me i am 5 ft and weigh 140. that is obese on some charts but if i only feel like i have about 10

more pounds to lose. maybe i am rambling cause my coffee hasn't kicked in yet....:laugh:

anyway i am glad you guys are still on here cause i need a place to rant and ramble :noway:

today is my sweet mama's bday and we are doing lunch out so we'll see how that goes calorie wise!!

have a super day and keep postin!!!

ps hmo4 why are you sore? maybe i missed it...:sick:

I'm stuck, back at 12 pounds above goal.

I'm torn what to do right now. I decided a while back to add weight training. So I added some freeweights stuff,,, nothing too heavy.

Well,,, if you're gonna lift weights you might as well get some benefit, right? So I went a little heavier with the weights and added some protein to the diet. I also adjusted my calorie deficit to 500 a day / 1 pound a week loss.

So now I'm building muscle mass. My body responds well to weight training, always did.

So - - - will I ever see that 200 lb goal? I dunno,,, right now I'm losing fat and gaining muscle, feeling great, getting less ugly. Don't want that to stop.

I think I'll build for a little longer, and then "cut" for a month and try to get some of this fat off. To do to do,,, (fun though)

Sorry, I don't quote very often. What I wanted to say is that I am 5'2" and I am considered over weight for my height and 135 is considered healthy weight but its on the high side. So right now I just want to be at 135 and then take it from there.

Yeah, the last 10 pounds or less are definatly the hardest because before I would loose like 3 pounds a week and now it seems I can't loose even a pound without going the extra mile. But I am sticking with it and I won't give up.

I am going to a big Halloween party and hope to be a UK size 10 by then...don't know if it is doable but I will give it my best. I ate chocolate for breakfast this morning so possibly not the best start to the week but I should still be under my calories if I workout for an hour and eat a healthy portion of dinner.

hey guys!! i kinda took the holiday weekend off and haven't been checking in. tomorrow is weigh in so

we'll see how much damage i did. i feel pretty good though. i hope everyone has a great day and i'll be

checkin back in with ya.....headed to walk

btw.... my water goal today is 96 ounces.
