Oh man I can admit, I am very impatient, I’ve again only lost one stinkin lb this week, I didn’t measure myself as far as inches cause I’m bloated, but damn seeing 191 one the scale would have been awesome. Its now Week 7 of 12 and I’m at 193 lbs….I may have to take a different approach cause this one SUCKS!!!!!

I know exactly how you feel.
When I was losing weight years ago, there was a time when my weight wouldn’t budge and I got impaitient.
I tried pushing harder on the treadmill at the gym, but that did not do much.
You have reached a point known as a plateau.
The only advice I can give you is keep going.
Weight loss takes a very long time.
Good luck and God Bless

I think you need to give it time. Go back and reflect on EVERYTHING you did. Did YOU do all that you could do to be successful? What would you and CAN you do differently. Are you lifting hard enough and heavy enough? Are your food choices clean and frequent? (ehem, double cheesburger)? If not, keep going but make the changes you know you can make.
I only say this because these are the questions that were asked of me when I had my ‘fitness-oriented a-ha moment’. I wasn’t lifting heavy enough. I avoided exercises that caused me too much discomfort (shocking!) and my diet was over 60% carbs. And I didn’t take in enough protein. Oh, and I changed from eating ‘cheat meals’ to rewarding myself with something for the gym or a pair of underwear–worked for me.
Are you doing fitday–if not, you should. It is a great tool to not only see what is going in, but you can PLAN what you intake is going to be for the day and make your meals accordingly.
You can do this. Do not get discouraged. Remember this feeling and use it as fuel–keep going and make the changes you know you need to make.
