It's tough to keep up with something when you're not seeing results, especially when you've been working so hard. <br /><br />I'm feeling the same way right now -- except I've actually *gained* instead of lost. I'm hoping that Teacher A's wisdom is true, and that the muscle I'm building is just outweighing the fat that was once in its place.<br /><br />The true test will be to put on my jeans, but yoga pants aren't as scary. I don't think I can take the feeling of FAIL if I were to put my jeans on and have them be tighter, not looser!<br /><br />Hang in there, Aly!Denisenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2340495888362574426.post-37014794674950459342010-07-09T06:33:19.626+10:002010-07-09T06:33:19.626+10:00Hopefully the numbers on the scale start to drop f...Hopefully the numbers on the scale start to drop for you soon!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2340495888362574426.post-15350811025070227412010-07-09T03:47:04.299+10:002010-07-09T03:47:04.299+10:00Yeah, that's why I don't have a scale in t...Yeah, that's why I don't have a scale in the house. I get weighed when I go in to the doctor's office, which means I get to see the long term trends rather than the day-to-day changes (or lack thereof). It makes gradual weight loss easier to take, as a pound a month seems like an achingly slow pace when you measure daily or weekly, but going in for your annual check-up and finding yourself 12 pounds lighter is a pleasant accomplishment.<br /><br />Plus, don't forget that whole muscle-weighs-more-than-fat thing. Working out every day is probably building up your muscles, which can mask weight loss.Teacher Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02584631503400120715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2340495888362574426.post-84071373480142353322010-07-09T02:17:46.369+10:002010-07-09T02:17:46.369+10:00Hang in there doll--it's a beast, I know, but ...Hang in there doll--it's a beast, I know, but it will be so worth it!<br /><br />xoxheidikinshttp://heidikins.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2340495888362574426.post-77030011879427553552010-07-09T01:20:27.030+10:002010-07-09T01:20:27.030+10:00One of the hardest things is not seeing *visible* ...One of the hardest things is not seeing *visible* results of your efforts, BUT...I've learned lately that visible isn't always the end-all, be-all of reaping rewards, so, to that end:<br /><br />1. Do you feel better in general? Less aches/pains?<br />2. Do you feel stronger? More flexible?<br />3. Are you sleeping better? More energy?<br />4. More endurance? Less puffing up stairs and so forth?<br />5. Are you able to complete exercise routines better, with less huffing, a better heartbeat, steadier breathing?<br /><br />ANY of those, even if your clothes don't fit much better or you don't see a shape change, are worth it. Because at least internally you are getting fitter.<br /><br />Meals-to-the-door are going to do more than just healthy, if you're like me, they're going to Portion Control, and that's my worst problem. I can make healthy meals easy. Eating small amounts of said healthy meals is NOT. Or of any meal. <br /><br />I just had that experience last night. I'm trying to hold to 1900 calories/day or less right now, and we had KFC for supper because we had a lawyer's meeting. I figured out the calories beforehand and put ONE piece of chicken on the plate, ONE small pile of mash & gravy, ONE small pile of beans, and that's it. Ate it and stopped. Later on, I was putting it away, and my mind was literally SCREAMING for me to eat more. "WE'RE NOT DONE!" even though my stomach was NOT hungry. But my mind was. Horribly so. It SUCKED. I hope I can get past it, because right now, it's really blowing. But I know I need to.<br /><br />Good luck -- I really hope those help out a ton, and keep up the work -- you're doing your internals a world of good!Nathan Prallehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02373809258182250844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2340495888362574426.post-16016036345807979062010-07-09T00:49:40.829+10:002010-07-09T00:49:40.829+10:00I'm sorry that you are feeling so frustrated. ...I'm sorry that you are feeling so frustrated.

It seem...Oh, so sorry it's been so challenging. It seems unfair, you're working hard and doing everything right and you should be rewarded.<br /><br />What is good to remember though is that even if you never lose a pound, what you are doing is good for you and improving the health of your body. Working out has all sorts of benefits for your fitness, your muscles, and most importantly your heart. And eating well gives you lots of good nutrients. Weight loss is a great side benefit of all that but even without it, the work you're doing isn't worthless.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15942269316108576622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2340495888362574426.post-47947647368258843302010-07-08T23:46:44.948+10:002010-07-08T23:46:44.948+10:00You can do it my dear!

I never cooked much when I was living at my parents because it was just too hard to schedule different times to be in the kitchen, and in our last apartment our kitchen was SO small that it was so annoying to cook a real meal. I've been cooking a lot since we moved here and I hope that it helps me to watch what I eat more closely AND eat food that is better for me.<br /><br />I always struggle with not seeing results and throw in the towel. Or I find ways to talk myself out of taking the extra time to make a healthy meal and exercising after work. Luckily, we have weddings to look forward to and I'm hoping that it will help keep me motivated at least for the next ten months or so ;)Emiliehttp://worldspinsmadly.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2340495888362574426.post-27704307677712882772010-07-08T23:33:39.446+10:002010-07-08T23:33:39.446+10:00I like the idea of those lite and easy things... b...I like the idea of those lite and easy things... but it's the variety I might struggle with!
