Frustrated!

Well...Just to check in with you, I have lost 52 lbs so far. I have 45 to go. This fall has been a struggle but I started back at the gym this week. October my back went out and I couldn't walk. Things have been tough! I gained a few lbs. back but that's ok. I don't want to just give up all together! How are things going with you guys?

I suggest not looking at the scale but seeing if you can tell a difference in how your clothes fit. You have to remember that muscle weighs more than fat and seeing the scale move up does not necessarily mean that you are getting fatter. If you are truly working out at the gym and logging your food and it's not rising above the "0" barrier on your page...your just getting fit. Don't let the scale bum you out!

I've learned that you wouldn't see real results untell 90 days. Plus if your going to the gym for muscle toning purposes then your turning your fat into musel. Musel weights more than fat. Just keep it up and you'll see great results.

It's easy to get frustrated, use that as motivation though. Keep working and you will reach your goals

Women's weight fluctuates during the month. Don't get discouraged. I've lost 60 lbs on my last diet and it took a good amount of time. Whenever I noticed that I wouldn't lose as much one week as I did another week, I would just stay focused and a week later it usually balanced out. Just remember, in the grand scheme of things, 2 lbs isn't a lot to worry about. Just keep the big picture in mind and know that one day you will reach your goal, even if it takes a week or two longer than anticipated. Also, usually when you just begin a diet/exercise program, your body will lose the weight quickly. But once your body adjusts to the new lifestyle, it will compensate. There's no guarantee with weight loss. You just have to stick to the plan and know that it will all come together in the end.
