I know everyone says losing weight is easier when you are young but I was wondering if anyone actually was experiencing that? I seem to be having such a hard time losing any weight. I'm 28 and can't…Continue

I have no desire to taut my accomplishments, mainly because I don't feel that I have accomplished anything. I have lost .2 lbs three weeks in a row. WTF! I know we have a tendency to over estimate how much "work" we put into something but I think I've been working pretty hard these past weeks. I wake up at 4:00am every weekday so I can go to the gym before work. When I get home from work I spend a good hour making dinner and all my meals/snacks for the next day. I don't go over my DPT or use…See More

When I was struggling I figured out that it was because I was still having sedentary days, basically sitting most of the day, even though I…"
Paula commented on Melissa Ann Brown's blog post Feeling down"I can so relate. I have been really kicking it the last few weeks and to see a gain this week broke my heart. I know it could be many things, but one thing is it was depressing. I know that consistency is key and I just have to keep going. We can do…"

Melissa Ann Brown liked Melissa Ann Brown's discussion Question to young women trying to lose weightMelissa Ann Brown commented on Melissa Ann Brown's blog post Feeling down"I was worried about sodium so I stopped eating the frozen meals and pre-packaged food.

Paula replied to Melissa Ann Brown's discussion Question to young women trying to lose weight"Birth control pills played no part in weight gain. I never gained weight while on them and I was on them for YEARS. The problem with weight loss now is the fact most people are inactive and they eat a really poor diet of processed foods. Especially…"
Meg H commented on Melissa Ann Brown's blog post Feeling down"Oh one other thing (maybe you could post a couple of your food journals)...watch sodium intake. A lot of peopel on WW use prepared meals for lunches etc...they have VERY high sodium levels which cause you to retain water."

Today is my weigh in day at Weight Watchers. I was up 1.2lbs. I know that isnt much but I was up last week too!! I was totally on plan this week and last week. I worked out 4 days and didnt eat any activity points or my 49WAP. I talked to my leader and she suggested I try to start eating a little bit more since I'm working out so much. I am so upset about not losing any weight. I know this isnt going to happen over night but I just wish I was making forward progress.

Today was a VERY LONG DAY! All I could think about at work today was going home and taking a nap! I usually would have done just that. I normally take Pilates on Thursday after work. I knew I should go workout but I didn't want to I just wanted to go home. I spent most of the drive home yawning and thinking about how sore I was from working out on Wednesday. I got to the turn for the gym and I just turned in. I still didn't want to go but I knew I had to and that I would feel so much better if… Continue

I'm tired of being overweight! I have been heavy my whole life. I don't know what it is like to be "skinny"
I recently started WW and going to the gym regularly again. I need so much help keeping myself focused. I decided writing about my journey might help me stick with it. I have been blogging over at blogspot for about a month(melobrown.blogspot.com). I have also been listening to podcasts. An episode of Half Size Me is what actually turned me on…
