This week is starting off really good! I found that interval training on the elliptical trainer is actually really effective! So far I can't say it's "actually" effective in terms of weight loss, but after the work out I feel really exhausted in a healthy way! I feel great! And I'm SURE that I'm losing weight if I feel this way! :)

Good on you Keliya!!!!... Finish the week how you have started off and I'm sure the scales will show great results...
Don't know about everyone else but i am sick of only being half committed to achieving my weight loss and at the smallest hurdle faltering... ready now to get fully motivated and give it everything i've got...good luck everyone

Yeah to another month to get it done! It is time to get serious and quit whining about gaining and such.....SUCK IT UP AND DO IT!

You guys got the right approach! I'm totally with you on this. Let's get off our butts and concentrate on our goals again!! :) :) :)

Again I didn't lose weight. I am really trying hard, but no result.. the only thing that I can think of is water retention. I have stopped using the birth pill a few weeks ago, and in less than a week im supposed to get my period.. i read from some women they can a lot of weight due to water retention before their period. This could be the reason for me too right? I think I'll just keep at it, and see if anything changes next week.. ugh.. wish me luck. :S

you can retain water before your period....
the pill doesn't help....(my experience)
thanks for doing this Keliya...
this will help keep me on track...
i've gained since last week...
water is good... exercising....
have to stop eating late .... will after saturday....

is elliptical trainer (cross trainer) i do 20 to 25 minutes and i don't miss a day, but i'm not eating because i am getting stomach pains, and i eat only 500 cal a day, i called the doctor he told me to eat more protein at least to increase to 900 if possible. i am gaining weight, i am 140 lb at 5'2 was almost 130 lb, when i started to eat less but no i am gaining even though i eat almost nothing. i do hard weight training with a 3kg dum b bell squats. do you think it is normal to gain weight when you eat less?

cortextoom... aren't you on too low cal..??
most drs. say not to go below 1200 cal...
what made you go to 500 cal...

i have ibs c and if i eat too much (the doctor said (gastreontologist) or high fat food, i get spastic colon, with feeling very bloated and constipated, from the time i started with this diet, i can say that the symptoms have disappeared: my doctor said to eat vegetables and fish, fish and veg must be eaten in high amounts to acceed 1200 cal, i guess... i eat a lot of fish and chicken breasts, and still lost a lot of weight. most of the weight is not fat now, but muscle and bone. i weigh 59 kgs and i'm 5'2

i forgot to say that i have cereal (it comes like fibre pillows) (two handfluls (two palms of my hand which are very small) a probiotic yoghourt with 130 cal per cup and two apples mixed together to make a good meal to start before starting work, then i have veg and a piece of chicken breast, like half chicken breast, in the evening i have a piece of fish, salmon, and at times i eat two pieces because i eat the salmon head, which tastes great, i have a tangerine also, i think they make up like less than 1200, or maybe a little more than 500 but not much more than 800 , more or less..., write back , in case i have written something wrong, like maybe the calorie anlization, please let me know to correct my diet in detail, i train like 30 mins cardio almost everyday , accept friday, i do dumbell squats, three sets each 10 to 15, with 3kg dum bell, i have 43 per cent muscle when i train, 40 per cent when i'm not active, and fat is 27 per cent. write back

Keliya are you starting this again?
