Lissa 2,631 Posted February 27, 2012 You should only weigh once a week or so. But, I have to confess that your pictures have encouraged me to keep exercising even when I'm not really feeling it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

300PoundsDown 101 Posted February 27, 2012 It sounds like you are doing everything right. It is my understanding that our body is always trying to achieve homeostasis. A balance or leveled out and stable weight. It wants to just stay put! In order to break out of this, you have to shake things up. This is what I was told. You have to almost trick your body by doing something totally different. It could be different form of exercise that your body hasn't adjusted to. These are the things I was told and I've found that when my body is sitting on a number and I know I'm not doing anything wrong like eating too much etc. then I try to shock it out of that number. But you look great and I admire your dedication! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VJSlim 156 Posted February 27, 2012 I've found that when my body is sitting on a number and I know I'm not doing anything wrong like eating too much etc. then I try to shock it out of that number. Wow can we really do that? What should I do to 'confuse' my body? I haven't been very religious about working out. I haven't hit a gym yet. I'll be starting at a gym after my 8th week. I just walk for like an hour or 90 mins. I just wanted to know about this in advance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
