Is something WRONG? Help! Posted by Tammy on 2/25/2008, 11:36 am 24.24.183.X Hello Friends! I am feeling really frustrated and need your help here!! I have completed my 6th week on CD & even started a beginning work-out regimine this past week. The last two weeks I have barely been able to lose 2 pounds! My total so far is 22 pounds, which is nice. But, I had higher expectations & hopes for 44 days. I am not giving up because I really feel that I can do it this time. But, I can't help feeling discouraged when the pounds don't seem to go away like everyone else. Am I wrong? HELP & THANKS!!!!  Post a Response

Tammy Posted by Carol on 2/25/2008, 4:37 pm, in reply to "Is something WRONG? Help!" 64.12.117.X Try not to get fixated on the scale. You will know that you are losing weight by how your clothes are getting big on you! I totally agree with Molly, get yourself back to the basics!!! If weighing yourself is going to discourage you, then you might want to weigh yourself less. I know everyone feels differently about this,so do what is going to give you piece of mind. I weighed myself once a month because I was stressing out about the numbers on the scale. YOU can do it!!!  Post a Response

Re: Tammy Posted by Tammy on 2/25/2008, 5:29 pm, in reply to "Tammy" 24.24.183.X Carol: Wow, I am not sure I could wait as long as you did to weigh in. I find that it keeps me going to see the loss on the scale. The problem of course is when it doesn't show me what I want to see!!! Hence my current situation!! Loved the cartoon!! I wish my scale would run and hide from me!! My husband has been hiding it from me so I don't get on it everyday. Thanks so much!!  Post a Response

Answer to your problem - Posted by Ann in England on 2/25/2008, 3:34 pm, in reply to "Is something WRONG? Help!" 217.42.227.X The problem is the exercise. Here in the UK we are told not to go overboard on the exercise, particularly aerobic exercise as the body is not taking in enough calories to cope and will therefore hold onto every calorie it can. We are told to do some swimming, maybe an aqua-aerobics class or some pilates and toning exercise but nothing else and certainly nothing like a full gym workout. Hope this helps  Post a Response

Re: Answer to your problem - Posted by Tammy on 2/25/2008, 5:20 pm, in reply to "Answer to your problem -" 24.24.183.X Hi Ann: Yes, I certainly respect your opinion! I've seen your results!!! The workout I started is very light! 30 minutes BEGINNING exercise & only 3 days so far. I am going to try for two more weeks of my light workouts and then re-evaluate. I'll let you know what I decide. I want to slowly firm things up as I lose or else I will be jello! Thanks for your advise!!!  Post a Response

Tammy.... Posted by molly on 2/25/2008, 3:27 pm, in reply to "Is something WRONG? Help!" 64.12.117.X It's Ok Tammy.....whenever I felt like I wasn't losing at the rate I thought I should, I went back to basics. Cambridge and Water and that's it!!!! Before I knew it, it was melting off again. Think about what you are doing different....are you getting all your servings in? Are you drinking all the water??? Just recommit yourself to Cambridge only ....Try shakes only instead of muffins or bars. You Can do this!!!!! You are doing fine Tammy 22 lbs is alot......just keep going and hide the scale!!!! it's the devil Love, Molly  Post a Response

Thanks.  Post a Response

I have been on cambridge for 24 days & have lost 12 lbs. But I do add other things such as lean & grean or a protien bar once in awhile. Hang in there you can do this.  Post a Response

After reading the board, I thought everyone was losing almost a pound a day! I am trying to only weigh in once a week! I was SO sad when I had only lost .6 after a whole week had gone by. Thanks for sharing your progress.  Post a Response
