Mornin' ladies!
Anne: Thanks for starting the new thread. Great idea! And congratulations on the 3 pounds!! That's fantastic!!
Hi 1Day! Pop in later and let us know how it's going!!
Laurie: Running huh? WOW! Now THAT's dedication! I don't run unless something is chasing me
. Keep us posted on your progress.
SEMO: WOW!! I'm not sure I could do 65 minutes of ANYTHING!! How long have you been using the Orbitrek???
You guys are all doing so well! I'm not doing too bad. I'm getting in 30 minutes a day doing one of my videos. I just wonder if it's not enough. So I need your input here guys. I'm just not seeing much for results. I've been doing this for almost six weeks, and I'm not getting anywhere fast. The first two weeks I had good losses, and it's tapered off from there. The scale is moving down VERY SLOWLY, but now seems to be going back the other way. I have strictly stayed at my 1400 calories (give or take 50) and my one 2000 calorie day per week. I have done my 30 minutes of exercise 6 out of 7 days. I drank all the dang water, but yet I am UP a pound this week!! Water retention? Gaining muscle? I would think that, but taking my measurements, I've only lost 1/2 inch in each thigh, 1 inch in my chest (where I actually didn't want to lose
grrrrr), 1/2 inch in the hips, and STILL NOTHING IN THE WAIST!!! WHAT AM I DOING WRONG!! I'm getting desperate here and am going to have to take more drastic action. My original goal was to be 170 when I went to see my DH May 8th. After a few weeks, I could see that wasn't happening, so I was shooting for 175. Now THAT isn't even feasable (I am now 185). I am open to ANY suggestions, so throw them my way. Please!
Sorry to go off at you guys, but I'm really just getting upset. It has taken me 6 weeks to take off the weight I put on in only 3 weeks, and I'm getting discouraged cuz I just can't seem to get out of the 180's, and I've been trying since last August, when I first got down to 185. I don't want to give up, cuz I know what the end result of that will be, but for all my work, I need to see loss, not just maintain. Oh heck, I'm just gonna shut up now cuz I'm rambling, but I would appreciate any suggestions.
