This used to happen to me as well. I started drinking electrolytes during the work out and I try to get a protein shake in about an hour before my work outs(150 calories). This has helped me a lot. Good luck and don't give up working out. Sweat is fat crying, just remember!!! ;)

I have lost 50 pounds since April and I am struggling with the same thing. I know my clothing fits different, I know I am more fit, I know I have lost 50 stinking pounds...but I don't see it. My trainer just throws fits because I can't stand to look at myself in the mirror. Granted, I am now 234, I am still huge....but I…

I am starting to get the sneaking suspicion that all those guys and gals that only eat fresh, non-processed home cooked food, really don't bother with keeping track of calories or nutritional content at all (or at best they are completely guessing most of the time). I kinda get the sense that they are really just…

Hey everyone, it sounds like you are doing well. I have been back slidding a bit and in a bit of a decline. I am still losing, which I am not sure how but I am. So, my challenge from me trainer this week is to not eat out at all. We normally eat out a few days a week so that is a pretty huge challenge for us. However, I…

I started at 282 and I am now at 239 and I am also having problems seeing changes and that is 40+ pounds of loss for me. I think we are our own worst critics. I see a difference, and you notice a difference in your clothing...so keep up the hard work and keep the faith. My trainer keeps the pictures as I can't stand to…

Just wanted to say hello real quick before I duck out the door on my way to counseling. Hmph...not fond of it to say the least. I will try to actually write what has been going on at some point soon. I miss you all. This group is so quiet lately. :ohwell:

PT has been going good. I am learning how to move differently and to use my glutes and hips more. Sounds so strange, but I don't use those muscles very much, I move very rigidly and I power all of my movements with my quads...thus the knee pain. Anyway, I am doing well. Went for a 3 mile walk Monday and Tuesday night,…

Hey all.....Heart Rate Monitors...I LOVE MINE and nope I can't even tell you what it is. LOL Someone bought it as a gift for me. I personally think the one I have does a really good job...it has a chest strap and those are the most accurate. You just have to make sure that they have good contact. Got another loss this…

Culo...all my life I was told that no matter what I did was not good enough, I was not pretty enough etc. . . So, breaking that thought process is difficult. I am now 45 and have been married and divorced twice...married again now....I will keep this one....and work on me. Thanks for the kind words.

No I actually lost my Fitbit....Can't track what I don't have. LOL I kind of miss it, but I am doing so much other stuff that I almost don't care about my steps any more. The amount of steps for me personally is almost irrelavant. LOL

I would definately weigh and measure your food. You do have time, I prepare most of my food for the week on Sunday...it is a pain the rear, but I take the time to do it and it works. Also, as far as the working out....ad weigh lifting in to your work outs. I have lost 7+ inches and 18.8 pounds in the last 5 weeks. I log…

It is tough working a sedentary job and taking care of a husband kids as well for sure. I finally decided a few months ago that every one in my house was going to have to take on a little more so that I could work on me for a change. I go to the gym every day at 5AM-ish...I make sure that I have all of my lunch stuff cut…

Yes Steph....wouldn't it be great if we lost weight when stressing. Here is the part that makes me mad.....I have heard from other people that have lost weight that people are like "oh my gosh, are you okay" "you aren't sick are you"...why can people not understand that maybe we lost weight because we stopped putting crap…

Cassie, one more comment and the I promise I am done. For 3 @#$#@ing weeks, I have been at 268 pounds. I work out out every morning 6 days a week and then also 3 to 4 days in the evening with either a trainer or a class. And while I know my body is changing....I am not losing the weight. My trainer is as shocked as I…

If I could get rid of the voices in my head...I would be so much better off. I am killing them slowly. I am 268 pounds and I now work out min. 6 days a week...some times twice a day. I am up early to work out with a friend in the AM before work...and I have now hired a trainer that I work out with 2 or 3 days a week at…
