Just VERY discouraged!


Quote  |  Reply

I get discouraged very easily....My diet has been going great!!!! couldnt be better. In middle of november i was 5'3 weighing in a 138 lbs, i was a size 9! i wanted to be 115 lbs. Which is still my goal. i was loosing 1-2 lbs per week. Now, its january...my goal is in march to be at 115 and im currently at 125 lbs. I've been getting EXTREMLY discouraged because i was at 123 lbs last week. I have been doing amazing these past couple weeks. I expected to see 1-2 lbs weight loss like normal I GAINED 2 LBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

what the heck? Yes, i was so upset i gained 2 lbs....i was very happy to see 123 lbs i cant even described how frustrated i am. Any suggestions to get my motivation back??? any personal experience with this??

That's just the way our bodies work.  I sometimes go up and down 2-3 lbs in a day for no apparent reason, but so long as you are eating right and exercising, it will all balance out in the long run.  Don't get too caught up in day to day fluctuations and maybe only weigh yourself once a week or two and see how that works out.  So far, you are doing great.  You are down 13-15 lbs with only 10 more to go...good for you!!

who knows why weight goes up and down so crazily....i weigh myself every friday and it very rarely goes the way i would like....i tell just about everyone this but if the scale hates you take pictures and measurements once a month..if you are putting in the work that is the best way to track your progress....2 weeks ago i lost 7 lbs then the last 2 i put it back on....i work out 6 times a week and it makes no sense why the scale likes to play with my emotions so much....but on the 15th every month the tape measure and camera just show me its just that muscle is replacing flab....then i dont want to hurt the scale, as much..but the scale still sucks....lol......good luck....but really though if you want to form a brute squad and kick the hell out of all the scales count me in!!!Wink 

haha thanks  to both of you. i got stuck at the weight of 125 lbs for like ever (well it seemed like it anyway) and now im at 122 lbs! so im happy to see there is hope for me yet :) i went down 2 pants sizes (8 to a 4) I got 7 lbs to go.

i definatly stopped the weighing myself every few days. i was like obsessed with it...I just do it once a week now. Its frustrating when i dont see any results but if i dont loose anything i just see it as a week i could have potentially put on a pound or two. Oh well.

Yeah with these stupid scales i feel like that lady in the weight watchers commercial who has the scale attached to her ankle with chains. It pretty much is attached with me. The scale at my apartment says im 107 lbs so when i need something to make me happy i step on that haha (im really not 107 lbs! its a messed up scale)
