Entry losing weight very slowly!
Jul 03 2009 23:17


It's been almost 5 months and I have only lost about 20 lbs. I have worked very hard at working out 5-7 days a week and counting calories, yet the results seem minimal compared to all the work I put in.

 

I do feel better about how I look and I am wearing a smaller size but I still have 8's in the closet...I guess it seem like a dream to think I will ever wear them again.   I statred at 180 and now am 159 but that's about what  was when I could fit into smaller clothes last year. I get so discouraged and wonder if I will ever get there. I'm not even losing 1 lb a week anymore no matter how hard I workout...yes, I do log all my food, including sauces, dressing, and oils.

I guess I'm just having a bad day...week...maybe month. it took me 4 months to gain the weight and it's taking twice as long to get it off...I'm so sad.

You may want to increase your protein and decrease your carbohydrates.  You need energy to workout and feel healthy.
