So my six weeks are up and things didn't go as well as I'd planned. I only managed to lose 3 pounds in these past 6 weeks, which is a far cry from the 8 to 10 I'd been hoping for. BUT I'm not going to see this as a failure (despite my disappointment) because I still went down and that's good. I've lost 19 pounds, so for now I'll just enjoy this accomplishment.
Tomorrow I will begin my Six Week challenge - take two! This time I won't be setting for myself a specific number, but I will focus more heavily and staying under my calorie goal each day and working out 4x a week. And from there I will just have to wait and see what happens!
I will check back in with you on Tuesday, June 28th.
Good for you! Seeing the number go down is still going in the right direction! Have you ever considered buying a scale that gives you fat% and water% as well? It's helpful to see that you are losing fat, not water or muscle. Just a thought!
ReplyDeleteFunny you should say that, because I just bought one a week ago! :) After several days of weighing myself when I first wake up in the morning I've discovered my fat/water percentages have been the same every morning, so I should be able to track the changes over time. I'm looking forward to seeing that fat percentage go down! :)
ReplyDeleteDon't be discouraged, I gained almost 2 full pounds last weekend alone! I didn't think I ate that bad, but what I ate made me retain water. I have gone back down a lb, so its a slow process. They say the slower you loose the better (and less likely you will regain).
ReplyDeleteI realized this week, that because I haven't seen much of a change I was getting frustrated. But when I watch shows like The Biggest Loser, and they see results so quickly I was getting discouraged! But they work out 8+ hours a day!
You can do it!
