Ok. This entire month my weight is standing completely still. I now have three months to drop 50lbs to make my goal. I understand at this point that may not happen, which is ok b/c in my mind I am a winner already b/c of all the fat I have taken off my body anyways.  I still do not understand where I am going wrong. Why haven’t I lost or even gained a pound the entire month, even with THANKSGIVING!! LOL! I workout 5-6 days a week. I can admit I never 100% monitor my calories but I am careful to not take in more than 1450 calories a day. I was once told to take the weight you wnat to be and add 0 to the end and that is the amount of calories you consume. Great no biggie! I know I drink enough water (like 3-4 liters a day). I am very careful with what food goes in to my mouth even when I am not detailing the calories. I have considered taking Lipo6, to help me pass this hump. Is there something more I can be doing?

Sometimes, I do wonder though if maybe I am not targeting my muscle groups in the best day. So I am curious what everyones schedule is at the gym. What days do you work what muscles? What muscles do you work together and why? I general work shoulders, abs, legs, arms, etc. on certain days. Could or should I be doing two each day so I can work them more times a week. What do you do? Why do you put them together? What is the most effective?

I know the numbers shouldn’t matter, it should matter how I feel and how I am looking but I can’t help but wonder why the number wont move when I am still busting my butt in the gym.

Anywho. I truly appreciate you taking the time to read this. I thank you all in advance for any help, advice, or directions you can help me with.

Take care!

Hey. Since my last blog I reported I was on my countdown to my goal day. Currently, my weight is still holding strong at 195, leaving me with 50 pounds to lose before March 5, 2008. I workout 5-6 days a week. I do cardio every time I am in the time 20-45 minutes, depending on the day and what I have going on. Yes, I know, I have not been doing my twoadays lately, but feel I will have to begin that again soon. I alternate each day with upper body and lower body for weights, but I do crunches daily as well. I am eating 4 meals a day and drinking whey protein 2 times a day to give me a total of 6 meals. My friend, Stacey, has joined my gym and I have to admit my workouts are feeling stronger now that I have someone there to push me when I feel I don’t want to do it. I have increased the amount of water I drink more than ever. I drink about 6 liters of water a day. My doctor even asked me on Wed why do I drink so much. LOL! When I told him I workout too, he understood more. I am really unsure of what I can be doing to break myself off this holding at my weight. I really need to find a way to push forward. I am considering a new brand of thermogenics, does anyone have any suggestions, ideas or have any idea what I can change to move forward. I would greatly appreciate the help.

Thanks!!

Ok guys. This month begins a major countdown for me. I have 4 months to go until my goal date. I am currently holding at 195lbs. I still hate mentioning my weight, but I will admit 195 is way easier to say than 247. I am grateful with how far I have come and very happy with where I am, but I am still pushing for my goal weight. I now have 4 months to lose 50 lbs. Is that even possible? I hope so! I think now it’s time to restrict myself more and up my cardio from 30mins 2x a day to cardio 45mins 2x a day and increase my workouts. I might try to take up spinning again. I try to stay as active as possible. Between work and workouts I am exhausted and have no time for anything else, which is fine b/c once I reach my goal I know I can slow it down. It will also be easier for me as I have had a year in my new found lifestyle so most things are just naturally custom.

If anyone can offer advice, tricks, knowledge, etc to me in this crunch time  I would TRULY appreciate it.

Also, I would like to thank everyone for the constant inspiration and encourage I have received thus far. Have all of you as major supporters really help, especially on days I’d rather quit. I come online read some past comments and emails and it helps me find my will and I stay strong and push harder. I have start printing my favorite quotes and comments from here and have it in my progress & diet binder I read that a lot for inspiration. It truly helps. I recommend a binder like this to anyone.

Well guys, thanks for reading. Here is to my home stretch!!
