8 weeks - no results

[Guest guest]

8 weeks - no results, no pounds or not more than 1/2 " lost, though I

think I am getting a bit smaller around the middle of my upperbody. I

am pear shaped.

, would you please send me the link of the page you wrote, what to

modify when you are not getting results?

I'm not discouraged (except for 1 day this week when I got depressed: I

had my RMR breath analyzer, which said I should be losing 2lbs per week

on 1475 calories, and I'm not losing anything). The fitness instructor

suggested " one needs 60-90 min of cardio 3x/week to lose, " and that

discouraged/depressed me. I'm PROUD to say that the way I dealt with

the depression was to add 20 min of regular exercise bike after my

regular LBWO, INSTEAD of EATING my feelings!

Well, I am also discouraged, but am perservering and am committed to 2

challenges and really making this a way of life because I believe in

it; it is so healthy. The changes that are happening are:

1. I don't nibble between meals at work or at home: this is a HUGE

change

2. I used to eat about 300-500 cal of my 1300 cals of sugar and bread

and don't now

3. I am pretty peaceful about my food and exercise routine

4. I am learning to really eat small portions. With Weightwatchers, I

would eat a HUGE plate of cooked vegies, a HUGE plate of salad (because

they were " free " ), and then small portion of protein, and no carb. Now

my body is getting used to small meals, and so I notice when I am

hungry, which is totally new for me

What I plan to do:

1. Saturday I do my HIIT and then go right to Jazzercise, so there's 65

min of cardio

2. Add 20 min of regular cardio on 2 of the 3 weightlifting days, after

the UBWO or LBWO

3. Write my food on fitday again, and really keep my carbs whole like

fruit and brown/wild rice

4. Limit my freeday to 2500-3000 calories and count the calories, for

this week and next week. Today I plan on having 2 meals: a bigger

brunch of eggs, potatoes and adding bacon and maybe bread, a chocolate

bar I've been saving, then dinner of italian something yummy, and then

later at night 2-3 portions of light icecream (1- 1.5C) and a piece of

chocolate. That sounds like a real treat but not a binge.

So you can see my freeday is still an emotional concern that I am

blowing my week's work in a day.

And do any other of you have suggestions to get results?

from 3 years of Weightwatchers 1200-1300 cal right into BFL, so my

body was probably in stavation mode with a very low metabolism. I am 59

young and strong and healthy and beautiful!)
