Oh your doing great and while it is hard to stay positive just look at the results...Last time I got on the fit it told me I was obese, for someone who is very body aware it sucked but then I had to take into account that I am currently 26 weeks pregnant...When you want to find it its very easy to find something to discourage finding the encouragment to go on is a little harder...

Keep up the good work your doing awesome

That's good news just hang in there. It's not the amount of time you exercise it's the consistency. Sounds like you are on the right track.

; )

You are doing great Princess. You know what? Girl, you got some guts on ya. I don't know if I would ever have the nerve to say to everybody what I weigh. I have told a couple of people on here, but they are like my bestest friends. You rock, Princess!! Hugs. Chelle

Remember that muscle weighs more than fat. So if you work out and build muscle mass, it is common to gain weight in the beginning. My nutritionist tells me to throw out the scales........you'll know by how your clothes fit.

I'm with you! Trying to loose weight myself and having a bunch of tests ran for thyroid and diabetes. Been eating right and exercising and have gained weight really rapidly even took a pregnancy test! Went to the doctor this week and he has ordered a bunch of tests but hang in there. Keep on doing whatcha doing.

I second what Ulla said. Worry only the tiniest bit about the weight. Concentrate more on yourself and your fitness, . Are you sleeping enough, eating fruits, veggies, nuts, whole grains and lean meat, sgetting enough sleep, having enough fun, keeping the stress down?

Also, how much walking do you do?

My weight goes up and down, sometimes dramatically, depending upon my stress levels. When my stress is under control, I lose weight. When I get really stressed, I can gain 30 pounds.

Also, I don't have any, repeat, any junk food in the house. Oh man, that is so tough to do, to not have any chips or ice cream or cookies here. But I've got bowls of grapes and bags of beggies and sandwiches and soups if I get hungry.

Good luck to you! You can do this.

Hey Princess, you can do this. You've already been at it for a few months, right? Good for you!

Thanks everyone. I think that even though my thighs still hurt I am gonna have another go on the wii tomorrow with the hula hoop. That's my game of choice. I just love swinging my hips.I do a fine job of not overeating and not eating really bad junk I don't stuff myself full of brownies like I used to. Yes I eat desserts but do so in moderation now. Yes i go to MC donalds and burger king but it's not an everyday thing. Today I had really healthy food for lunch. Ate Chinese. For dinner had fresh beans and angel hair pasta roni Parmesan mix.....my daughter's favorite. I know that when you consume pastas it turns to sugar. But I love pasta I just can't seem to stay away. Pasta is my favorite and I married into it.....the hubby is Italian and every time his mom cooks and has us over it's always rigatoni unless it's thanksgiving.

Don't keep such a tight reign on your weight!!! Just from how your hydration changes at night (because your system is sweating and processing pee and all that stuff) you can lose a pound or so, just from that....so it makes a difference, even what time of day you are weighing yourself. How often are you weighing?

Weighing yourself every day can be discouraging, because your weight can fluctuate a pound or two either way, without necessarily increasing your body fat. I use a bathroom scale that measures my fat % as well as my weight. That gives you a better idea, whether or not your weight gain is actually from calories, or just water.
