an update on my weight loss

Since you are working out a lot more.. you could actually be gaining muscle and muscle weighs more than fat.. Thats why as much as i say i want to weigh a certain amount.. you sometimes have to go by the way your clothes are fitting.. are they getting loose on you? or measure inches.

But thats the problem i've had.. Once I lost the 60 pounds.. losing anymore since then has been nearly impossible!!

---

I guess my clothes are slightly looser. I don't know. When I measure myself the measurements see to be higher not lower. But when I went to get measured for my sister's BM dresses last weekend, according to them I love a 1/2 inch in my boobs and a 1/2 in my waist. So I don't know if maybe I'm just not doing it right?

It just stinks

I would think that you weren't measuring yourself right, if they measured you both times i think i'd trust their measurements.

nope it was two different places measuring me.

1st set of measurements was from when I bought my wedding gown at bridal reflections back in august and these measurements were from lillette's. Which probably means that nothing has changed

i totally hate you.

My GW is 140!!!!!!!!!!!

I wouldnt get too discouraged.. You said you've been keeping to your workout regimine (even increasing) and watching what you eat.. i dont think you couldve gained fat weight.. i would think like i said its muscle mass.. but keep up with it and dont fall off of what you are doing because you dont think its not doing anything.

Thanks I don't plan on giving up it's just frustrating when you know you're doing all the right stuff and getting the wrong results.

Hopefullly things will change eventually

Maybe you girls can help me. I've been doing WW for two years straigh now and I've lost 40 pounds or so.

I'm trying to get off the last 10-15 though and I'm having sooo much difficulty with it! For the past month I've been working out RELIGIOUSLY and watching what I'm eating and I'm either not losing weight or I end up gaining!

For example, this week (minus Sunday) I was REALLY good and worked out a total of 4 times (I only usually workout 3 times a week max) and according to my scale this morning I gained 1.5!

Same thing happened last week. I worked out and watched my eating habits and gained a 1.5!

I'm just getting really discouraged.

---

don't ever totally rely on a scale..that 1.5 pounds could be water weight, or muscle gain! try measuring in inches around your waist..i just got back from the gym..got on the scale and gained 2 pounds since this morning...but i drank 3 full bottles of water!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
