Please help!! I recently started working out every day, and I have not lost any weight this last week. Is this normal when you first start working out? I am not eating any of my activity points to try to lose more weight, but the weight just doesn't seem to want to come off!!

You probably are retaining water....when you start a new workout routine & your body/muscles aren't used to it they will retain a bit of water from being swollen. It'll come off as your body gets used to the workout so no worries

Also try to eat at least some of your activity points....like if I earn 5 points on a run, I will eat at least two of those points in filling foods. Some people don't do it but I have found that works best for me.

I never use my activity points and I still lose weight. What kind of foods are you eating?

i agree with the above post (Tanee). and i would suggest that you make sure any AP's you use are for healthy foods, especially protein which will help you build lean muscle. i read once (don't remember where) that drinking lowfat milk during the 30 min after a workout rehydrates better than water. plus, it will help you meet your HG's.

I am eating healthy foods and drinking tons of water. I lost weight last week, but did not lose this week. My friends are telling me I may not lose any more weight, so I am concerned because I still want to lose more weight. Is it possible I will not lose any more weight?

I don't mean to be personal but how tall are you and how much do you weigh? While you might not she a change in your body weight you might see a change in your body appereance

How much are you wanting to lose?

Also, what is your exercise routine?

[anicole31w]

I am 5'3" and I weigh 112. I am wanting to get to 110 and then just tone up. I don't know if I am in a rut or if I am just done losing weight.

I do jazzercise, a cardio crunch class, and some different machines at the gym. I just started this past saturday, and I have not missed a day all week. Am I doing something wrong?

[TJFitnessDiva]

well heck girlie Why don't you do toning exercises now? If you keep doing what you are doing you should be able to lose the last 2 pounds

Acording to Weight Watchers at your height you should be between 113-141lbs. I would focus more on toneing than loosing since you are already below the the low for your hieght. Do you have access to a pilaties class, if you do try takeing one you will notice huge differences in your body shape from the class. Don't be so hard on yourself you are in a place where most people strive to be
