TOPIC: The only title I can think of is, Can someone help me lol

Created by: kinddraggon Original Starting post for this thread:
I started a weight loss program almost 5 months ago and my results have been slow and well, pretty discouraging as far as I am concerned. I started out counting calories (1000-1200), eating at the right times, and balancing my protein, complex carb, and good fat intake. Also 3-45 minute workouts with a PT a week that kicks my ass. I only lost 14 pounds in 4 months. The last month I have not lost a single pound, even though I have added 30-60 minutes of cardio each week, and have really Cleaned up my foods and now include almost all superfoods (so 'they' say, which will be my next thread) and some SWG. (Protein 100-130g, Good carbs 60-75, good fat 20g) That didn't make a difference, so I recently started concentrating on more protein, and no grains at all. (trying carb cycling first) My question is .... what could I be doing wrong not to be seeing any results? Yes my body has changed a little, yes, people say I look 'better'. But I am basically in the same clothes, (and they are looser) but I can't bare seeing that scale never move at all! I recently re-measured too and that showed I got bigger!! Now maybe there are bigger muscles under there.... and the tape measure is not being placed where it was the first time, but really.... how much can a girl who's trying this hard take I ask.... lol. My next thread will be about supplements to aid in weight loss.... I am very confused about what ones to start with. Everything I read says something different!

Got through my first Ragnar and 2 half-marathons last winter with only 1 longish jog per a week. About to start my 2013 training this Sunday morning - thinking about the AF Marathon. mrs svc

Yet you dont know that MANY people can run a sub 2hr 1/2 "not even Kenyans" marathon and that we begin walking on the balls of our feet as toddlers until we are conditioned to walk on our heels. Funny how someone can easily get a cert or a degree yet know absolutely no realistic applications. Just like when I worked at amajor corporate chain hiring those w/ exercise science degress yet didnt know shit once they hit floors or why Dr's back up my science and some older DR's dont. Physical therapists are changing their minds about cycling for knee therapy because they NOW understand proper positioning. You have anegative comment about everything I say which specifies to me that your old school knowledge has hardened your ability to understand the information thats been around for the past 15 years.

Can tell you from you my perspective you can't go wrong Case in point is the direction/encouragement I gotten from my p.t./bud 'nakedathlete'! Been working w/ him for three years. Got me thru plantar faciatitis & rotor cuff issues. Now run 5k almost every other day.Nakedathlete and every other credible p.t. definitely deserve our respect. In the meanwhile "you go girl!"

Very frustrating. I chose to trust my trainer's opinions mostly, not because I was paying her, but because she has been doing this for 20+ years, has muscles where I didn't know there were muscles, and has avoided injury herself. Everyone here also have said the same things as her. I also watch a lot of videos of professional trainers and when I see a lot of the same things being said I choose to go with that. I don't know anything about the forefront vs heels with this, but if you look it up on utube and hear what they are saying, I'm sure you can come to your own conclusion. Of course my trainer always emphasized good form, and I have been amazed of how different everything is without it. Basically, shoulders back, chest out and belly button in, is what I have to keep reminding myself of before doing anything. Actually I'm getting in the habit of that all day long finally, ...walking, cleaning, cooking or whatever I'm doing. It's amazing how different it feels using my muscles properly. Now... what part of your ass are you trying to address??? lol. As my weight goes down, I swear my body is different every week. Currently, I seemed to have lost and toned the bottom of my ass nicely, but the top of my ass (under the back & sides of my waist sort of) has not caught up yet. I don't feel like any of my exercises hit up there. But then again, I have never done this jacobs ladder and I have 15 more pounds to lose and most of it is still in the middle, so maybe that's all it is. The toner I get on the bottom, the worse it is looking on the top though. At least I have finally mastered patience.... that's been helpful! :)

When I sit back and make sure I've engaged my glutes and hamstrings. Definately feel the difference. Engage the glute muscles. mrs svc

User Details are only visible to members.	See?! Everyone says says something different. :) I'll watch out for where I keep my weight focused when I'm on the Elliptical and Stairclimber at the gym. They must not have a "Jacob's Ladder" at the gym we go to. I don't remember anything like you describe. PS - I was only 2 in 1970. LOL
