Ok, I've just about had it. The two pounds I lost last week are back this week. I am so frustrated right now. Especially because I made a conscious effort every day to eat OP and not stray. I worked out like I should, I've been drinking my water, yet the 2lbs came right back.
I know that when my body starts losing it will lose, but waiting for that is not easy. I have another week to go and I will meet with my dietician and trainer again. Hopefully I will have a loss to show them. If not I just don't know what else to do.
I just don't understand why my body insists on hanging onto this fat. I don't need it, I fuel my body now instead of just feeding it.
On a side note, thanks Gettinfit for being my inspiration for getting out my Body-for-Life book. I pulled it off the bookcase last night and started reading it. The 12week challenge definitely looks doable. I think that I may incorporate the challenge into my current efforts. After all, I'm already eating the right foods, maybe I need to change up my workouts? If so, then the 12 wk challenge may be just the thing I need.

sorry :(
I completely forgot you said that you'd get me your weight today :( My bad lol! For some reason I don't have your starting weight wrote down in my handy dandy notebook though. Did you post it? If not so worry about it :) Just email it to me when you get a chance xoxox
I hope it's nothing that serious. last summer they wanted me to get an mri but I got a second opinion and was living pain free for about 6months but I really think it all started when I started working out :( The fat will leave don't worry sometimes your body tries to hold onto it. You know our body tries to work against us right :) j/k take care

Sorry
Is AF due or anything and maybe you are retaining water on this? Do you do the same work out each and every time? Maybe mix it up a bit. Next WI will be great for you.
....shucks! Am glad you were inspired to get your BFL book out.
What I like about Body-for-Life is it really is something you can do for-LIFE. Real food, effecient exercises, and the 12-week challenges are great motivators. Do a challenge, tweek some things, then do another. Do a challenge, tweek some things, then do another.... LOVE it!! Am sure you are going to do great if you decide to do it. I know I'm comitted to it, so we will be able to help one another if it's what you decide to do.
As far as changing up exercises....what do you do now? Are you lifting? Doing mostly cardio? The BFL website has great tools for new lifting ideas, and Oxygen magazine has some really good exercises to try. (I just got my new one today. It's full of some GREAT leg exercises. I'm going to do them in the BFL fashion. (increasing weight, while decreasing reps) They look pretty cool. Do you ever check out that magazine? It really does have some great ideas.
Anyway....please don't get discouraged. Even if you don't see a scale loss, if you are eating right and exercising you are doing the best thing for your health!! The loss will come!
how frustrating it is to be up and done but try to remember and this is what I tell myself every day ...... that I am feeling so much better and eating better that it will come it just may take a little longer .....you are doing so great :)
Sounds like alot of our scales are going crazy this week. I was just reading another blog that is having the same problem. So is mine. I get so frustrated and just want to stomp the thing when it does that! That's what I get I suppose for weighing myself everyday...ugh. Eh, what can ya do but keep going .. and you are doing so great! Congrats!
Am glad you were inspired to get your BFL book out.
