I don't understand - why is it that I start a diet (weight watchers) a week and a half ago - I run on the treadmill everyday, and I don't lose anything?? Not even a pound, nada,nothing!!!! I hate this!!!!!!!!!! Sorry - just had to vent!

How much do you run?
Have you alwys ran everyday?
If you always do the same routine, this may be the problem. Your body is probably used to running, and you are probably eating too many calories. Add weights to your exercise program. Adding muscle will increase your metabolism throughout the day so you will use fat for energy.
Hope this helps!

Re: soooo frustrated!
I'm definetly not eating to much. I eat all healthy foods. I run only about 3 miles a day, have been since February. I was also going to curves during my lunch hour but now with the summer and the heat - cant do that to my co-workers. To Hot. Anyway - I've cut out all candy, sugar. I'm not overweight, I'm 5'3 and 132 pounds - I would like to lose about 10-15 pounds. It doesn't have to be right away, its just I get discouraged when I know I have been really good and the scale doesn't move!!!!

Christine is right. Your body is used to running every day. You either have to up your exercise or change it. Maybe try running 4 or 5 miles two or three times a week to bump it up a little.

I've been faithfully hitting the gym 4x per week...running and speed-walking on the treadmill for 45 min, the elliptical, etc. Always a solid 45 min of cardio then 2x per week weights. I've only lost 5lbs in 8 weeks...and my measurements are basically the same.
i don't get it...i think I need to hire a personal trainer.

It took me a good 3 weeks on weight watchers before I started to lose any weight. Once I started losing, though, I lost 2-4 pounds a week and in 3 months I lost 30 pounds. My sister had the same experience. Sometimes your body just has to adjust.
Stick with it and give it time!!

OMG, you guys just inspired me to just stick to it!! That's awesome!!! I thought I was doing horribly b/c I haven't lost anything and this was week 3... I'm so happy for you that it worked in the end and you reached your goal of loosing 30lbs.... brideinapril- stick with it.. it'll work. Right before the wedding, I lost 6 pounds in a week from the stress!
