I gained back the 6 pounds that I lost in phase 1. I work out 6 (around 40-50 minutes of stregnth training and 30-40 minutes of cardio) days a week and I know I am eating everything to a T!!! Really getting frustrated. Here is a sample of what I eat in a day (this was yesterday)


B: 1 slice of broccoli and reduced fat swiss crustless quiche


S: 1 part skim mozzarella stick and small apple


L: 1 boneless skinless chicken breast baked with reduced fat feta, and 1 cup roasted broccoli.


S: Baby carrots and light ranch


D: 1 1/2 cups of Whole wheat pasta with ham and peas (recipe from South Beach Quick and easy)


S: 1 cup of frozen grapes


 


HELP this is only my second week of phase 2.

Could it be the extra salt from the feta, ham and the other cheese? Maybe you will drop it off in the next day or so.

Do you work w/a trainer? I was reading in Shape mag about plateaus while working out and it said that sometimes women over-estimate how hard they are actually working, intensity-wise not quantity-wise. It said a couple sessions w/a trainer can sometimes focus your efforts & get you back on track. The lady they interviewed said she thought she was working hard but the trainer kicked her tushie! It gave her the benchmarks for what she needed to do in her workouts & she started losing weight & gaining muscle again. Just an idea. Sorry for this development. :-(

Ignore DHs results. Boys suck. They decide they need to lose weight, stop eating Doritos for a week, and it's gone. I say a girl will *never* be "The Biggest Loser". The game is rigged by genetics. Hrmph! ;-P

I do www.push.tv my workout changes every two weeks by my personal trainer (who happens to be Bob Harper from the biggest looser) the intesity changes and the type of stregnth exercises change too. Good thing is I think it was just water weight cause today I am back to 156. Maybe too much salt the day before. Another good thing is since I got back on track I lost 1 inch on my waist, 2 on my chest, 1 on each arm, 1 on each thigh, 2 from my lower stomach and 1 from each calf...just from being on SB and doing Push for the last 3 weeks!!!! I guess I am going in the right direction!!!!

You could be gaining muscle and muscle mass always weighs more than fat.


Congrats on the weight loss!!!
