Discouaged as hell.

On the day after X-mas I weighed more than I have ever weighed. Since then I have exercised daily, gradually given up the elevator at work and made major dietary changes. Although I'll admit , there is still lots of room for improvement in my diet, but I have made big chages.
I immediately lost 13 lbs in 15 days. Then some of it came back and I've essentially made no progress in 3 weeks! I'm bouncing around in a 3 or so pound range that best has me down 10 lbs total, so having gained at least three back. today it's closer to five!
What the hell is up with this! Anyone had this experience and gotten through it? This is usually the part where I give up!

No, it's not a meeting. I just meet with someone once a week & they weigh me and I think they'll take my measurements once a month and we'll go over the next weeks menu. There are some items on the menu where you get a choice and she writes down what I want, then gets my food together for me. I'm there all of 10 minutes. She also was able to give some suggestions about "volumizing" like sauteeing onions & peppers, spinach & mushrooms to add bulk to certain dishes like spaghetti to make me more full. Stuff like that....

I'm going to do that tonight with my chili. :)

The only way you can do 1200 calories and low sodium is dare I say it REAL FOOD. Nothing processed. I'm not sure what my body would do, but it would definitely resemble a coup!!

When I started martial arts donttread, I plateaued at the 3-6 week mark. Also started to gain muscle whilst losing fat, and that's heavier. Go for the measurement, and how you 'feel'. Keep persevering and you will notice more energy. There's long term gains to be made, so keep at it. Good job on the New Year GOYAing

You know I do feel better Coogee and I've even noticed improved cardio-vascular and flexability, less loggy , etc.
Martial arts is great I got to purple in American Kang Du Kwon a few years back, but lack of time and my love of food caused me to quit instead of working to go to brown. Great program though.
