| You're welcome, Its2011! Another suggestion for busy people: Get a dog!! My husband and I both work crazy schedules, and it's hard for me to find time to work out (or to spend time with him). But the dog makes it happen, because she needs to be walked every day. So every morning (including weekends), we get up early and walk the dog at a brisk pace all the way to the neighborhood coffee shop and back. It takes about an hour, so it burns more than 100 calories right off the bat, plus it's the best of all possible worlds: My husband gets his coffee, I get my cup of hot green tea (no sugar, no milk, just 3 calories a cup), the dog gets her walk and we all get to spend some quality time together. It's easier to get up when you have all those things to look forward to (at least in my experience). Just an idea; won't work for everyone, but hopefully helpful to some... | |||

| I can definitely relate, Its2011! My weight hasn't moved for awhile. But I wonder if you're gaining muscle since you said you've been exercising a lot? Muscle does weigh more than fat. Sometimes you may find that the number on the scale will be slightly higher, but you'll FEEL thinner... like your pants won't be tight. Anyway, just an idea. But try not to get discouraged. Things like hormones and water retention can also make you fluctuate throughout the week (and month), and watching the numbers go up and down, however slightly, can be really stressful. I usually try to weigh myself just once a week for that reason... That way, I see a longer-term trend. Anyway, it sounds like you're doing everything right, so the hardest part is just to trying to be patient. Don't worry! You'll get there! | |||
