Blog to Lose

No matter the plan... we all Blog to Lose!

 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 many of my weekly points. I just don't understand why I am not losing significant amounts of weight. I am so frustrated and I want to quit! What good is all of these work if it reaps no benefits. I am human after all. I HATE waking up so damn early, but I do it because I know I need to exercise. I am determined to make this my last "attempt" at weight loss. I want the extra weight to be gone forever. These "setbacks" are NOT HELPING!! I am lost, I don't know what to do.

Melissa--you are doing great!  I am so impressed by the work you are putting into this.  I'm sorry to hear that the scale isn't doing its part to support you :-(  You are getting stronger and leaner and fitter and HEALTHIER every day that you do this.  I know it can be tough--but keep it up, perhaps pick some of the healthy guidelines to focus on (vitamins, water intake, veggies, healthy oils, whatever!).  Your weight is going the right direction.  Eventually all those 0.2 lb losses do add up to big news.

Isn't it said that the best way to insanity is to do the same thing over and over and expect different results?

 

So---you need to change something up if you want different results. :)

If you're burning out on prep-maybe you can do it one day a week and freeze individual portions of entrees?

 

Anyhow-if you post what you're doing, maybe we can make suggestions for change. Write in your total caloric intake each day and your daily exercising.  It would probably help to add a food log if you have time. (Like for example, if someone was making poor choices every day within the allotment might see changes slower than someone making good ones)

Oh--one more thing---how are inches doing? Are your clothes fitting better and/or inches decreasing? That matters more than a number on the scale. :)
