Sunday will be my 1 month mark for this diet/exercise/change of life and I haven't lost any weight. The scale moved down last week, but it's back to it's starting position this week. I haven't been bad, in fact I've been very good! I've been better than usual. I've really pushed this week. What am I doing wrong???????? I haven't eaten out. I've cut my portions almost by 3/4. My normal menu is this:

Breakfast: Slimfast

Snack: yogurt

Lunch: slimfast or salad

Snack: pretzels, carrots

Dinner: usually baked chicken, veggies, and either potatos or macaroni, or something; sometimes just a salad and/or tuna.

*Usually throw in an apple and orange or 2 oranges somewhere. Usually dessert after dinner.

I've been exercising - I've done WATP for over a week now. Just graduated to 2 miles. But still, I've been faithful - except weekends. Before that it was TaeBo. But still, 4-5 days a week!! 20-30 min a day!!!

So what am I doing wrong? I thought I felt a change in inches in my stomach, but I don't know. I just bought a measuring tape so I can start recording my inches. Is it just fat turning into muscle since I'm working out? I've also been watching calories along with controlling portions. But I'm beginning to lose faith guys. Advice???

Sadly,

Jessica

Oh Jessica i am sorry you're losing faith..must be aggravating!

I also do the Discovery Health..and i am suprised it has you at 1800 calories. I started out there in 260's and they had me at 1500's now i am at 254 and they have me at 1455 calories. What activity level do you have it at? Mine is at weights+cardio. There's also just cardio(for me that's 1275 calories). I've read that it's good to change workouts so your body doesn't get too used to it, which it seems your doing. Measurements are great there's been 2 weeks i stayed same and then 1 week i gained and my measurements went down! Good Luck hopefully next week will go better and you'll get a loss =)
