Tired of trying and getting no where.

How about posting your food journal on here for some feedback. That might help. :)

 

BTW-I once got the idea that I would do tons of workouts for my buns--like buns of steel etc-and I figured that would help my flat-as-a-board caboose get some shape.  I used to have buttaches so bad from it sometimes.  After doing it for about 3-4 times a week for 9 months and seeing no results, I gave up.  My mother has a flat butt and I sort of figured it was probably hereditary.  I've been there in the soreness-with-no-results thing before.

I'm sorry you're feeling down. This is a really tough battle no matter how any of us approach it. You are not a failure. You've lost a lot of weight and you've slowed down. This happens. Just ask me! I can attest to that! ;)

I'm not sure if you were looking for advice/suggestions or just letting off steam but I have a few questions for you anyway. Have you tried eating more and exercising for an extended period of time? I mean like weighing yourself one day and then going at least 2 weeks of eating more and exercising and then weigh yourself again?  If the answer is no then would you consider it? What you're doing now worked in the beginning. It usually does. But if it's no longer working then something has to give. You've changed up your exercise routine. Why not change your eating plan?

Just some thoughts that may help. I know this is tough and it can get really discouraging. That's why we're here! hugs to you

Thanks girls.....

@ Cindy...No I never really kept up with the eating 3 meals a day thing..Mostly because even when I wasn't trying to lose weight I didn't eat that much....it seems like I am consuming so much food. This warning sign starts blinking in my head as soon as I start to get hungry after I have had a meal.....I am sure I will find my way somewhere...someday....I just want it to happen SOON!

Please don't try to lose weight the unhealthy way!  I can tell you from experience that it will come back to bite you!

I know how disappointing it is when you are exercising and watching what you eat and not seeing change. I was sitting there for a long time. First off, let me tell you, I've done the Ramp It Up for 2 days and it is tough. The sweat was pouring off. Give the program its 6 weeks. That is plenty of time to see if it works for you. Not all programs work for all people. 90 days is plenty of time to test a program so that it what I did. I found many flops, but 1 that did work was Power 90 and I did it for 2 years. My diet just got sloppy for a while and I regained, so I thought I would give Slim in 6 a whirl since it is also a Beachbody program. I felt I needed a change. Well, the first DVD was not as hard as Power 90, but  the first DVD of Power 90 wasn't so bad either, but I did the commitment after 90 days I did see a results. Just keep trying until you find the program and the eating plan that works for you.

I tried so many diets! But weigh watchers is the closest to the normal eating that i tried. Those miracle diets that you loose a lot dont work. Good luck!

I know it is tough to put in so much effort to be rewarded by...not a damn thing. 

I think it is also funny how we end up with a mental picture of people and their personalities just based on their blog posts here.  So, even though I don't really know you, in my mind Angie Y is a super determined fireball of a person who is determined to do things her own way!  With that in mind, I will toss in my $0.02 worth--feel free to ignore it.  Forget about 3 meals a day.  Make sure you have tiny snacks around to keep your energy level up and try and hit them about 6-8 times a day (about every 2 hours).  I'm talking about only 100 or 200 calories at a time--but make sure those calories really count for something.  Forget 100 calorie packs of crackers or cookies--you want real food--a hard boiled egg, a string cheese, an apple, hummus (you can make your own from a can of garbanzo beans and some olive oil in the blender or food processor) and some bell peppers, a small handful of dried fruit, celery with a tablespoon of peanut butter (be hyper observant of the serving size), a half of a grilled chicken breast.  The kind of stuff that you want your kids to eat as snacks!  Give it a try for a week--maybe you will hate it, maybe not.  Keep the serving sizes small--you are not eating to fill up, just to fuel up.  Drink lots of water too.  I will be surprised if you don't lose weight.  On the bright side, none of it is too pricey and everyone in the family can eat it-so you can't lose $$ wise.  Let us know how it is going--now, I am off to find these Turbo Fire tunes!
