Piggy McFoodeater here. I am not fat. I've developed huge pseudomuscles that allow me to sit for long periods without tiring.

I'm fed up. I've increased my exercise and cut down my food intake significantly -especially the fat and calories and haven't lost one lb in two weeks. And it's not like I didn't exercise before, so it's not a sudden increase in muscle tissue..... fuck it

Try fasting for a day or two....then after, eat only the most basic of foods or anything unprocessed - totally stay away from any white foods, but keep your meals balanced - protein/good carb/good fat, That should jump start it.

I had gastric bypass almost 3 years ago and have lost 250lbs but since I have been settling in to a great marriage, I have gained a few pounds back so...I'm trying to get back to eating less and exercising more but for some reason my mind wants to do the opposite!

Weird...after a four month plateau, taking 6 weeks off from the gym, eating whatever I wanted over the holidays, I am, as of today, showing a 4 pound weight loss (since Fri).

TFW.

Ha! Ha! Guess whose sock puppet I am! I am fed up to here with my weight. Nothing I do seems to make a difference. I binge, I stay at the same weight. I starve -still same weight. I exercise - still the same weight. I am resigned to waddling into a plump middle age.

Um, thanks but no. I am still alive and human.

Pico and ME · 01-12-2010, 10:36 AM

LOL...Its a really tough diet to follow. Especially when you live with others. I only managed it when I was single.

Okay, the REAL problem is this:

I am not overweight.

I am undertall!

Keep at ya whiner, it'll even out eventually... and weight loss isn't the only benefit to your efforts. You know all that...
Mix it up though, do some different stuff, get some muscle confusion going. Try to do complicated mental tasks when you're cardioing, it burns more calories - even just walking backwards will do it.
Intervals too, 2 or 3 level of heart rate over and over again.

I did an hour on the treadmill at 3.4 mph, and then 5 minutes on the stairbastard at oldman speed. then crunches and leg curls and squats.

Ha! walked backwards in the snow today -my friend found it easier to drag her feet, I found it easier to pick mine up, so we swapped methods and both got an extra workout (we were walking backwards because the ice wind was ripping our faces off).

I do mix it up, and I can feel the benefit -at least of the crunchies -I'm just whining

Yay for you Jujuwwhite

I'm still in my 'honeymoon' phase from my surgery - and am struggling with staying on track

I have found some really good online resources if you're interested - just let me know!

Congrats! How long has it been for you? Did you have full bypass or the lap band?
