I just feel like giving up!

I just read that days like those often precede a big breakthrough in exercise -- your body is adjusting and your endurance will increase. I noticed that was true for me, and if it's just a mind game, I'm OK with it0

I actually gained weight:(...its been harder to get out for walks...heat and copd don't mix
God bless. COPD sucks.0 -
Hang in there. You can have 2 pieces of pizza and still not give up. I am not a physician but I do think that 1000 is too low.Maybe your body needs fuel? It can get over whelming but you can do it. You are worth it! we all have those days.0

I havent seen any change either, since March! But Im not giving up, I will continue to try and findout what Im doing wrong, exercise is cool anyway.0

"You have failed only when you quit trying. Until then, you're still in the act of progression. So, never quit trying and you'll never be a failure. " - A quote I found on a MFP's profile who is a good friend of mine.0

Ladies our hormones have a lot to do with our weight gain/loss. So If you haven't had blood work done in a while I would suggest a quick visit to your Dr. It could be hormone imbalance or thyroid imbalance causing your lack of wt loss.0

What is TDEE?0
-
I know you guys think 1000 is low, but I'm only 5'2, so I don't require as many calories to begin with (at my age and exercise lever).
False. I am 4'9.5ish and eat roughly 1600 calories and still lose - when I was eating between 1200 - 1400 I couldnt lose a damn thing. Figure out your TDEE.. you will be surprised at what you learn.0 -
We're both 45 and we've both been doing this for a long time! So we know what to do....keep doin it, trust your body and remember "quitting is not an option" xo0

Wow! You've lost 66 pounds! You can't give up! I've got to lose between 70-80 and I just started yesterday. I need people like you to keep me motivated! You've obviously worked real hard to get to this point so don't stop now.
This is my first time to post and I realized I did it wrong! I guess I was supposed to click on the user who wrote the statement I responded too. Oops!0 -
@124snuggles: TDEE = Total Daily Energy Expenditure0

How do you figure that? @ tanyalosingi0

I have thought about this. I had a physical in October. My testosterone was a bit low, but I really don't want to take hormones. As to the thyroid, could be possible too. Several family members have hashimoto's disease. I think that's how u spell it. But they are required to be on meds. Last I checked, I was ok on that. But who knows? I probably should go again.0 -

June 1st.......of 2012??? It's barely over a week since you're first weigh in. It's a marathon, not a sprint. Give it some time0

I've been back on the wagon since April 19th. I just haven't seen any movement on the scales since June 1st. Plateaus are really not like me. I normally figure out my calorie deficit needed to lose X amount of weight in X amount of time, and then I get there. I am perplexed about this. PIZZA!! LOL0
