hi all!

like a lot of you, i've been working hard at dieting and exercising, but sometimes it seems like nothing is happening. it seems no matter how far i've come, i'm still bouncing off a brick wall with nuthin' but bruises to show for all my intense attempts. *sighs*

so we work our butts off, but without actually making our butts any smaller. we run till we drop, but our thighs still jiggle when we walk. sometimes, watching ice cream melt on a kid's cone, i wonder why the fat on my tummy doesn't do the same thing when i sunbathe for a few hours.

do you think it would be sacrilegious if i asked god to please grant us the miracle of spot reducing? just for a week or two?

:)

I know where you're coming from! Stay focused and it WILL happen. One day you are going to look at yourself and think "Wow, I can finally see some progress". Right now I am losing weight in my arms and back, but when I think of seeing progress, that isn't where I tend to look (not to mention some of the results are behind me and not easily seen). Stay on course, don't give up!

To an extent, I could only wish I was where you are. I fell off the wagon a month ago, and haven't made any attempts on getting back on. bleah.


I just want to work out daily and do it.


but yeah, i feel your pain. =)

Vess- we all feel like that/this once in a while....but try looking at it this way for a bit-


When you stay on track, eating wisely and working out, YOU feel so good about yourself! And after a while it really does become second nature to continue EACH day- (now if you fall off the wagon, that's a whole other point to cover)...


Sounds like you ARE working at this- don't you feel good about that? The results WILL come, in time- and you'll be so happy dancing all over the place when they do!!


Stay focussed on your goals and Good Luck
