Weight loss FAIL!! ETA: Joined WW online last night!!!

UGH! I weighed myself 3 weeks ago and was horrified by the number... so I started Zumba, going to the gym, dieting etc... I feel like I was doing well. I decided to hold out stepping on the scale for a while and tonight I just HAD TO... I only lost 2lbs in 3 weeks!! My goal was to lose 2lbs a WEEK!! That would bring be down 20lbs before the wedding :( ERRRRR I am so frustrated! I have 'indulged' here and there... but have been so good for the most part.. Wah... what to do!?

ETA: Joined WW online last night!!! I am gonna lost 15-20lbs... I AM ON A MISSION!! I am just bummed cause I feel like I am trying really hard. Weekends are killer lately though. Tonight Zumba! Went to the gym last night too...
Thanks girls for all the motivation... hope following WW will help

I feel your pain...I'm actually trying this Cardiac diet...I know it sound sort extreme but you only do it 3 days and then off 4. I know it sounds odd but it actually works and helps cleanse your bodies during those 3 days. If you want to try it google it. I'm going to start it on Friday..I'll let you know how it goes. =)

BEST OF LUCK!! Summer bride to be! =)

WOW.. the word 'Cardiac' def. sounded a bit scary... I just googled really quick and it looks pretty healthy (food wise) Let me know how it works!!! I am so bummed about this!

Thank you soooo much about the invitations... they were my labor of love

It does sound scary..LOL! but its used for heart patients who need to drop weight to meet weight requirement before surgery...
I'll try it and let you know. It's all healthy. If you do it 3 days and eat how you normal do for 4 I can't see why you wouldn't drop weight and if exercise too!

I'll let you know.

are you clothes feelin looser, and do you feel better??

i dont even go by the scale anymore because most of the time, its not a true number. I get my BMI done ever 4 weeks and when i see THAT number going down is when i know that i am loosing weight.

I sometimes get on the scale in the AM, and be XXX, then three hrs later, after a coffee and oatmeal, ill step on again (only cause its in my bathroom) and it will be 2 lbs heavier sorry but 1 cup of coffee and a bowl of oatmeal does not equal 2 lbs!!

edit: i have been working out like crazy and have only lost 5 lbs, but i have gone from a size 12 to a size 8 so i know im doing something right, even if the scale isnt moving!

I'm the same way. I have only lost 10 pounds since October, but am down almost 2 sizes. I don't pay attention to the scale, but how my clothes are baggy now!

relax chica!!!

It has taken me around 6-7weeks for me to lose like 5pounds!!!!

This takes times! The same way we 'put on the weight' in our body.. slowly... the same way ti will come out slowly...
It took me 3weeks until I see a LITTLE lose in me.. like .5 in 3weeks I WAS PISSED AS HELL


All the girls encourage me to continue trying.. and I did...
Next thing I know I dropped 2pounds...
Then I gain 1 since I went to Lindsay & Yuleisy Wedding.. then i los that pound..
Then I Lose 2 pounds!!!

EVEYRHTING IS SLOWLY CHICA

CONTINUE DOING WAT U DOING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



PLUS:

I can tell m body is 'looking' better!M clothes are fitting better!!!!!
The ones da didnt fit are fitting now!!!
The ones who fit good before are litle loose now

Well keep in mind there are so many things that affect the number when you step on the scale. Maybe you have lost more than you think! It could just be that you weighed yourself at night after you've had a few meals throughout the day. Or maybe it has to do with the time of month. Or maybe you lost fat but toned up.

Keep it up - I am sure you will start to really see and feel the results!!!

Weightloss takes time. Unfortunatly there is no magic pill. I lost 60lbs 3 years ago and kept it off. Most of my weightloss was half a pound a week. It was slow, but steady. Sometimes thats the best way. Keep up waht you're doing- you are losing weight! It's better than gaining, right?

Thanks girls.. I am trying to be patient and FH says I look like i lost some weight.. I can see a little bit.. but I want to look how I did 2 years ago... 25lbs lighter. I am going to keep up and try to be better on the weekends. I have had so many other weddings/showers/parties lately... I think thats def. messing me up.

THANK YOU for the motivation

You can do it!!! Keep it up!!!

Weekends were always hard for me too. Most important thing is keep WW snacks with you! So you don't resort to bad snacking especially on weekends.!

Good luck!!!
if you follow it you will get results!!
