congratulations drew, that is awesome!!! personally eating right and going to the gym often, same old crap I guess. although leaving work after an 11hr day to go to the gym for ~2hrs is brutal...makes you feel better though :). My roommate motivates me personally, there is nothing like an in shape gay man to make you feel like you need to work it out. |

+1 :) I noticed you were slimming down :)
I have been 100% on track for 2 months now....my workouts AND diet have been on point.
However, for some reason I am gaining more weight now than I did when I was doing very little. Its weird, because I know muscle contributes to the weight gain, but I can also see myself getting bigger (minus the muscles). Almost doesnt seem worth it.
If I didnt care so much about my health and feel so great AFTER the workout I would give up, because losing weight is obviously not working for me. :( :( |

do NOT pay attention to POUNDS! pay attention to your clothes fitting loosely-- measurements are key!!
has anyone read "You: On a Diet" by dr. oz and dr. roizen? SO awesome!! really funny and extremely practical. thumbs up from danisan. :toothless |

Well I think you have lost weight (at least from what I can see). Maybe its time to go to the doctor to see why its not working for you :) |

totally agree. i have yet to weigh myself since we've started but i totally am in love the way i feel the day after hitting the gym (energy like WHOA!!) and how i fit in clothes, especially my jeans which were the bane of my existence for the last yr. I think i weigh about the same for now but i know ive put on muscle for sure all over :)
no worries, we have been following a strict healthful regimen for about 2 months now.
cool, ill have to give that book a read :) i love receiving helpful advice. :) |

Dont be too discouraged kelly. Im sure that if you keep on going at it like you said, the pounds should shed off. It just takes a bit of time. Dont give up kel, i know you can do it.
Personally i dont see it when i look at myself in the mirror, but i do feel a bit slimmer, but i dunno. |

| ^^ on drew's note, you are your own worst enemy, dont forget it! also, plateau-ing is normal.. usually after a few weeks, weight loss should resume. happens :) |
