I WILL NOT BE DISCOURAGED! Did all you ladies from up North hear me scream that!?!
I don't feel better; let me try again!
I__W.I.L.L__N.O.T__B.E__D.I.S.C.O.U.R.A.G.E.D!!!!
Except for yesterday I was well within my daily allotted calories & I exercised 3 days out of 7. As I look over the past weeks activities & caloric intake, I noticed that almost 1/3 of my calories are what I consider of no significant nutrition value... I can't help but wonder what difference does it make as long as I stay within my prescibed numbers???
I will chalk it up to the old "I'm due for my period" and continue to work on improving *sighs*
My fat quarter is wtg to find out which of you ladies is the biggest looser :thumbup:
P.S. I adjusted my weight loss goal from 2#s a week to 2.5#s a week. That made my alloted calories go from 1534 to 1163. I felt comfortable w/the 1534... 1163 is gonna feel awlful! I guess will have to increase my veggies big time so that I will still feel as though I am not depriving myself when ever I get the urge to eat something.... Maybe I should buy a juicer.....

I know it is frustrating when this happens. The wrong response is to cut back more. It will force your body to think it is starving. No,no,no. Perhaps your body needs a break. Eat really well and start measuring. Muscle weighs lots more than fat. You may be having some muscle growth and strengthening. Keep really accurate records of input and exercise and watch the sodium.
If it doesn't turn around in 2 weeks,call your doctor.
My mother said you might need to increase the fiberous veggies. She said not to go below 1500 calories. Or, you could try eating normal for 2 days and then gave a very low calorie day with extra exercise. Go back to 2regular days then again a low calorie/extra workout. This sometimes works really well.

I exercised 110 more calories than what I consumed. Yeah!!
I feel for you quilteddove, some days I consume less than a 1,000 calories but the weight doesn't come off. You are doing good so just keep pluggung at it.
I fell on my bike tonight. Hit my knee hard and twisted my back. It was really stupid, I got home and was trying to stop the bike and get off when my shoe caught in the pedal and over I went. I hope it doesn't swell.
