Somebody catch me because I"m gonna faint. :faint: I have drank my water, ate small meals and snacks, gone to water aerobics 4 times this week and I have lost 5 pounds. I stay hungry and I feel like I am eating all the time.:hungry: Do you think my scales are broken? I go in for my 1st fill on Wednesday, but I don't think I am going to get one.

WHOOOOAAAAAAAAH!

What a GREAT week for you!!! JOB well done

I on the other hand worked out a total of

6xs this week!!!

I am very dissapointed to report I have lost zero

- yes I said zero pounds

The only good news I have to report is that my body % of fat is at a 46% now which is down from 47.5% so I guess I am really gaining alot more muscle.

Please someone who knows for sure tell me that eventually my pounds will start to fall off, I am so afraid that I will stay the same size & it will all just get hard & muscley, not like thats a word but you know what I mean.

Thank you for your support. I hope that next week your weight loss catches up with your BMI. I think that it is awesome that you are able to exercise the way you do. I have already had my left knee replaced and will probably have to have the right one replaced this summer. I do water aerobics which is easy on my knees. I would love to do some regular exercises also.

I appreciate all the support that is given by the members of this board.:biggrin1:

Sarge I gurantee you that your body will change. It is such a complex thing that you just can''t do one thing and expect a certain change. The body knows what to do.

Do you watch the weight loss specials? People will work their tails off and lose nothing but you start seeing these changes such as cheek bones, small rolls(that would be me), oh yeah the big belly doesn't sit up as high, it looks like it fell down but it has to fall down before it can shrivle up:nervous . LOL Don't stress, just keep doing what are doing and you :director:WILL see it and feel it.

Ok, it's Monday and I am checking in. I am very dissppointed to say that I have gained 1.5 lbs so I am back where I started. I thought I was doing good. At some point last week I had lost 2.5 lbs and then I guess I got excited and started eating again. I ate Golden Coral on Sunday, Homemade flautas and mexican rice on Tuesday, On the Border on Wednesday for lunch and Cheddars on Wednesday night for dinner. Dickeys bar-b-que for lunch on friday andTaco Bueno and a piece of fish from Long Johns on Friday night and on Saturday I ate waaayyyy too much since it was my husbands birthday we went out to dinner again. So I ate out 4 days this week but a total of 6 times. Oh my god what was I doing.:help: I feel so bad and I am surprised I only gained 1.5 well I guess since I did work out very hard 4 days this week and did drink my water. Well today is Monday and I am starting over. I am taking on the challenge of working out 2 times in 1 day at least once this week. But I just get so hungry sometimes my tummy growls and I want food. Can anyone offer some advice please.

Sorry I have been not keeping up I am down 10 lbs since the start of this challenge I have not kelp track of the waist size but I have lost 8 inches since the start of the journey (Dec 9th) and I believe 2 inches since the start of the challenge. I have no idea about body fat %.

Cheers to all

I have been exercising again and have been drinking all my water. This must be helping I have lost 1 lb this week. Now if I can just quit eating so much popcorn, been craving it for a couple of weeks now.

Thanks for all the help Sarge and everyone else.

Well, its me checking in. I HATE MY SCALES! On Saturday morning I weighed and had lost 2 pounds last week, well, I weighed Monday morning and they were back, and I really watched my intake last week and exercised 4 times last week and drank my water. I get so frustrated, seems like I am not ever gonna lose any more. I have been at this plateau for 4 months now and am about to resolve that I will stay at 233 forever now. I will watch it again this week and exercise, but get so tired of trying when the scales don't move and stay going down.

I will resolve to do it all over again this week, although I am a day behind I got so discouarged with it yesterday I did not exercise. Please keep the tough love going here, I promise to post and check back daily.....
