Check in # 6

I'm a little late in reporting my latest check in, but rest assured it's only been because I've just been lazy! I have lost two punds as of my last weigh in, so that brings me down to 184lbs. I'm not really happy with that number as I thought I would have been able to lose at least ten pounds in a month....here I am in the 6th week, and I'm still only 184lbs from a strating weight of 190lbs. I just can't seem to get out of the 80's. I feel as though I've been on a rollercoaster. "Yea! I lost two pounds.....wait I just gained them back....oh here I go I lost them again....naw just kidding there still there---etched on to my ass. I'm getting super frustrated. I'm not taking Alli consistently anymore...but it's not becuase I don't think it's working...it's becuase I feel like I don't need it. In the beginning---sure I really needed it to keep me on track...but I have healthy eating habits now...I really don't need a pill to keep me on track...I have a conscience that seems to be doing an execellent job---Plus getting off Alli will ultimately be more cost efficient. I get to spend more money on buying cute work out clothes!!!
Yeah, so I'm a little irritable, but I also have to say it may be due to my TOM. It's here and in full swing. I'm sure I feel bright and perky again this time next week. I know I should be happy, at least I have gone backwards again...I'm just a little disaapointed that all my hard work has yeild such little reward. I've been busting my butt in the gym and eating really good. I just don't get it.....But then again--I lost a whole pant size...I weigh nearly the same, but I lost a pant size! Go figure?? I've come down from a 14 to a 12...Maybe I am building muscle....and as we all know muscle weigh more than fat...but the question is when will I lose the fat!!!?? Hopefully soon, becuase I'm realy tired of my scale hurting my feelings! For all of you out there who in the same fight, keep perserving...we will get through this---I just know we will! One day at a time....So until next time: Good luck to all!

Don't give up TWO pounds are great and losing it slow is better than not losing it at all.

This probably is not the best day for me to introduce myself, but I was at the same starting weight as you and have lost 7 pounds the last time I stepped on those stupid scales I have in my bathroom. I started taking Alli July 23. I have been really positive and after not seeing the scale budge at all the last time I weighed I have been frustrated. So, I know where you are coming from!!! I'm hoping to wake up on the other side of frustration tomorrow!!! Wishing the same for you....Good Luck!

Hilarious comic! Ok, so motivation... hmmm... 2 lbs... image the butter... come on... you can do it! That IS a lot of butter! Ok, also remember that you've been bust'n ass (no pune intended) in the gym and that fat and muscle blah blah blah... so you're doing pretty good. Keep up the good work!

At least the scale is moving in the right direction! And you've lost an entire clothing size! I think you're doing a great job, according to some studies it's the slow weight loss that's most likely to stay off.

Keep up the good work and don't lose faith!
