7 pounds heavier, but one size less!!!
| Wed, 06-02-2004 - 9:21am |
Just want to share. Finally, broke through 8 month plateau!!!!!! I did not come in the form I was expecting, I wanted to my scale to reach up and give me a hug.
But instead, it said I was 7 pounds heavier, ever since I started my muscle routine, but then I got out the tape measure, and my measurements were an inch less on my thighs, hips and stomach. (And I think you can see lines in my stomach, whoohoo!!!)
Ive doing Denise Austins "Shrink Your Female Fat Zones" and unlike most resistance tapes out there, she uses weights, which I upped mine to 10 and 12 pounders. I saw the results in two weeks, phenomenal. And during this time, I through my low carb regime out of the window.
I got off the low carb thing, since, I just could not handle weakness and fatigue. Even though it works, I guess low carbing is just not for me.

Wow..that's fantastic news and now I know I'm not kidding when I say 'I don't care if I weigh twice what I weight now, as long as I fit in my size 12 jeans!'.
Good going... it's great to hear your great news!!

WAY TO GO!!!!
You have worked hard to lose those inches, so let's find a way to keep you motivated!!!!
Maybe make a chart to hang on the fridge that shows how many inches you lost, or set up some rewards for yourself!!!
You can do this!!!!
Well done on becoming a size smaller, isn't it weird to see that happen with the scales going the other way? Just goes to show that the scales is

Two years ago I had my third child and have about 20 lbs or so on me to get off. During the last two years, I have to admit, I have been on this dieting and exercise rollercoaster. For a couple of weeks I will be doing OK, then when I see the scales climbing after the many miles on my exercise bike or walking and using my ankle weights and hand weights, I get so frustrated. I stop because of the weight gain! I am trying to remind myself that it takes a while to build the muscle and burn the fat.
It is hard to lose weight and exercise alone. I know I need some support, but don't know where to turn. My dh works a lot, a friend of mine was suppose to walk with me - she doesn't, others I have asked to walk with me find a reason not to....
Lately, I have thought about calling my dr to get something to give me a jump start so I will see something positive sooner and avoid quitting.
Today, I bought a pair of shorts I would not ordinarily wear to lift me a bit. Usually I try looking at myself in the mirror to scare me into losing the weight and keep motivated. I think that just depresses me more.
So sorry for rambling, or whinning - depending on how you look at it..
I really do admire those who have been successful. Hopefully I will be too someday.
