Upset about Dress

*sorry also posted on bhb but I meant to do it on 09 boards*

Sooooo, I've been working out for the past 2 1/2 weeks like a nut (thinking I was losing a tiny bit of weight) and today, I go to get my measurements done so I can order my dress and NO change in waist, NO change in hips... and I actually went up an inch and 1/2 on my BUST!!!!!!! I am soooooooooooo upset!!! One of my friends said that maybe I started developing more muscle in my back (remember ladies, I've been trying to work out my back to get rid of Back Fat).... well yea.... apparently it didnt work.... I'm so disappointed.....

Its only been two weeks. If you keep it up you will drop.

2 weeks is not a lot of time! Have you changed your diet? Diet is 90% of fitness...workouts are great but if your diet is not strong you will not see any results

2 weeks for a major change is really nothing. Not even for a slight change. Your body is probably inshock & needs to adjust. That can take timme. Buit the real question is how is diet? What else are you doingbesides back workouts??

Also I forgot to add to lose fat you need to do cardio. Doing weight works will help you build muscle which will burn fat long term but you need to do cardio to lean out. Spot reducing is impossible too so even concentrating solely on your back won't do what it sounds like you are hoping to do!

Re: Upset about Dress

Thanks for responding ladies.... Yea I know 2 1/2 weeks isnt enough for a lot of change... but I was expecting some sort of change, even just a little in my bust. Maybe I should of had a stronger diet. I'm just disappointed bc normally I dont make much effort for anything- and I thought that by working out, I would at least show some sort of a difference.... but how could I actually gain an inch in a half in my bust???? Thats what I'm really shocked about Im confused

maybe you measured incorrectly at first? or perhaps the bridal consultant measured incorrectly? Were you wearing the same bra?

Workouts are great but they won't do what you want unless you are eating right as well...its the sad truth!

If you are not eating healthy foods, it doesnt matter how hard you workout because you might not be creating the calorie deficit you are looking for.

Yea they do, I guess my mind is playing tricks on me, b/c at one point I actually thought I was feeling better in some pants....

No I dont have access to a gym... I am trying to work out at home... have the 30 day shred and just bought 5 of billy banks tae boe dvds with the amplifier (a weight bar). Can you please help with a system of workouts I should be doing to help me lose weight in my bust, lose back fat, and of course tummy??

Losing fat in belly area and back will come with lots of cardio. I would keep up with the 30 day shred video and maybe try to go for a walk each day? I really think that the diet is whats gonna jump start your weight loss!

Do the 30 day shred 3-4 times a week...then on days you dont do it, go for a walk or run...if it gets too cold do the billy blanks dvd...send me a list of foods that you like and I will see what i can do! I might not be able to get it to you until tomorrow! Send me your height approx weight etc...

First the meausurement isnt the biggest deal justyet. There could be multitude of reasons why that measurement was what it was. Keep uo the cardio (whih helps in weight loss) teh weight training (whichhelps in loss of body fat & inches). But the main thing is the diet if you ar enot doing right by that then that could actually cause weight or body fat gain. You need to burn more calories then consumed to lose anything. You should keep a journal of everything you eat & see what you are doing wrong.
