Stuck!!!!
For the last week I have had this great blog post saved to celebrate my 25 pound loss and I am so frustrated because I am stuck at the 24 pound mark. The worst part is I totally don't know why??!!! I had great workouts this week (yoga, lap swimming, jogging, elliptical work) and I have been eating well (1000-1200 calories a day). I am going to mix it up this week and add some weights, more yoga, and more intense jogging and eliminate some more carbs from my diet. When I finally lose that 25th pound I'll post my special blog entry. I will NOT give up!

Elizabeth's Weightloss Journey
Our Adoption Journey

Honestly, Elizabeth, I think you need to eat a bit MORE. Your body will hold on to weight if it thinks it's being starved. Use some online calculators and see what they say for calorie intake for weight loss. I just looked up mine and even with minimal exercise I can still eat 1400 calories a day and lose weight.
I used this one: http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm
Congratulations on 24 pounds! That is awesome!
I agree with Tina above and have experienced that there is such a fine line there that is tough to find... if you havent already used one of those online calculators though, they are a really cool tool (knowing you, you probably have already found a great one to use!)
My first thought is that I can totally relate-- I have been in that same situation many times and for me its always just being patient-- my guess is that if you keep working hard, you will probably ebb and flow with the actual 'scale number' but your body is probably still changing-- I bet in the next few weeks you will see the weight drop in a much bigger number than 1 or 2 pounds-- keep us posted, it sounds like you are doing all the right things and doing them with discipline... I am so proud of you and can't wait to 'see' the changes and chat with you about whats been working best and get in on some secrets! Lets hang out soon, I miss you guys!! Looking forward to the celebration posting!!
ps-- wanna think about training for a 1/2 marathon? maybe not now b/c it sounds like you are in such a good routine w/ cross training, but maybe in a few months? Let me know... I am up for a a local one or even a destination half : ) Just an idea! Say hi to Dan!
Good Job Elizabeth. The P90x diet also talks of the negatives of not getting enough calories. Every ones body is different though. I am not counting calories but I have definitely not eating to little when I was feeling hungry I was not getting the most out of your workouts. The other thing is to have a heart monitor and making sure you are in the zone to burn the most calories during your workouts. Keep it up. I am excited to see the progress. The P90X has been good discipline for me and I am enjoying feeling more healthy. Bye
You're amazing! Wow, can I have some of your discipline?
