Hi,
I have been eating approx. 1200-1400 cal. per day, joined a gym a month ago which I have been going to at least 3-4 times a week (1/2 hr - 40 minutes each - either either PACE (aka Curves program) and on weekends using the eliptical, treadmill and/or bike), and when I can't make it there, trying to get on my treadmill at home.
My problem is the scale has not budged an inch! I expected to lose a couple of pounds the first week (water, I know, but it is still motivation) but haven't even lost that - I drink at least 8 cups a day. I took measurements Jan. 15., & redid yesterday - hoping for something - but NOTHING, NADA - ZILCH!!
Breakfast is usually cereal/milk - need quick & easy (being a single mom w/2 kids)
snack: grapes/banana
Lunch - usually a Healthy Choice frozen entree - i do watch the sodium - if i don't eat these, i would probably end up ordering out with the rest of my co-workers.
Snack - pretzels
Dinner - depends but i do watch the portions
Anyone else have this problem when they started? I had done low-carb before and lost but its not something I can stick to. I am not giving up (I signed a gym membership for a year to make sure I stick to it) but it is just so frustrating! Thanks for letting me vent.
Happy Valentines Day
