Weight Loss
What weight loss? I have worked out for almost three weeks now and I weigh more than I did when I started. I don't think this is the way to 150 pounds. I have taken four days off to recoup and find my motivation again. Can't seem to find it.
Remember that muscle weighs more then fat. Your probably gaining muscles now that your working out. Trust me i know how frustrating it is. I worked out for 4 months, 4-5 times a week and i didnt loose anything. Not even inches. It is so frustrating.
I totally agree about muscle weighing more than fat. Also, remember...it's not about the weight, but the goal of trying to fit into your own clothes! Hang in there! You can do it.
Not that I am one to talk b/c I yoyo quite a bit, but what seems to be really important for me after turning 30 is controlling my portions.
Also, once upon a time when I could work out regularly (pre-baby), I found this exercise and eating plan gave me (and the hubby) excellent results. We had the book (the regular and the women's version) and just looking at the before and after photos of the people giving testimonials was motivation enough: http://www.bodyforlifeforwomen.com/uof/bodyforlifeforwomen/
Keep going! I hope you feel good after working out--that is one of the biggest energy and attitude lifters for me, so it's a really important part. So is being hungry (hmph).
For the first time in 3 years I am not pregnant, nursing or have a baby under one years old. I have no picture of my belly or my baby to put here. Guess I better work on that huh? :)
