Don't get too discouraged - if you have been lifting weights in the past week - you may have built muscle (I know, the scale says something different). I've been there and was ready to tear out my hair. You are off to a really great start, but writing down everything you are eating. Keep your chin up girl - and you will see the results that you want. 

With all that exercise, you are sure to get to your goal, you just have to stick with it. You're already halfway there!  

Just push forward...I know sometimes you want to throw the scale out the window...believe me, I've wanted to. Today is a new day...you can do it!! 

That's great that your anger is fueling you to stay on track! We're all gonna nail it this week. 

I would stick to cardio for a while, too. Plus, he doesn't suggest doing ANY strength training until Phase III. So, stick to your cardio and you should see it come off. Just remember to watch your heart rate. Go by his calculations and really stick to it. :) You'll do GREAT!!  

I am starting over with you. Today is day 1 of detox! No cheats for me either! 

I STARTED OVER TOO...YOU ARE ON A ROLL THOUGH....SELF CONTROL!! LOL....WE WILL DO IT...JUST HAVE TO TOUGH IT OUT :) YOU ARE EXERCISING TOO WHICH IS THE BEST! YOU WILL DO FINE THIS TIME AROUND.  

I bet you are adding muscle. How are your clothes fitting? You may have to rethink your eating plan to one easier to stick with. I found it easier to handle when I gave myself permission to eat all foods, but in moderation and modifying foods to meet the caloric needs of my body. Just remember to take it easy on yourself because I think you are doing great. 

It's hard when you aren't seeing drastic results. That's why I've been using the food journal here along with the exercise journal. I can see how many calories I've burned in relation to how many I've consumed, and then I know what I need to do to kick it up. Once you do something 13 times, it becomes a habit, so you'll need to have 13 weeks under your belt to get into the habit of changing your life to become healthful. When I get discouraged, that's what I try to remind myself of: I'm changing my life, and that doesn't come without a little bit of depression, lots of hard work, and lots of frustration. You can do it, sweetie. I know you can!
