The see-saw continues... I hope that I can get back on track now that school has started for the kids. I really want to focus a lot more on exercise, and I am hoping that will give me a little wiggle-room with my calories. My problem has been that when I exercise, I am starving afterwards, and tend to go over my calories. I "give myself permission" to eat more because of the exercise - maybe a reward? However, I lose whatever progress I could have made had I stuck to my pre-exercise calories. I think that's why so many people wonder why exercising makes them gain weight. It isn't the exercise, but the extra calories you feel entitled to eat because of it! Arrrggghhh!

ok so... i dont get it! i weighed myself on 3 dif scales tuesday all high tech digitals 2 of which said id lost 2lbs making me 215.4 n of course the scale that counts as my weigh-in says same as last wk 217.0 UGH! i know ive lost cuz i can acually feel it AND my back boobs, side bulges n boob muffin tops have disappeared in the past week! Now my frustrations r starting to kick in!!!!

treadmiler - Hang in there! I know these weight fluctuations can be so discouraging, but you need to be more stubborn than the scale! Keep sticking to your plan and the scale will eventually cooperate!
