I'm so frustrated!!!!! I've been on a good diet and exercise program for two weeks now and I haven't lost anything....nada. Yes, I'm 100% behind this and I'm doing this for myself.

Mon, Wed, and Sat are hard work out days. Tues and Thurs are swim days. Fri and Sun are rest days. I'm really watching what I'm eating....low fat, low salt, low sugar....lots of good fruit and veggies...cut way back on meat...eating lots of grains, legumes, beans...what more can I do? I don't eat any sweets or fried foods and I've cut way back on bread.

I drink tons of water all the time, no pop, no coffee, drink green tea...am I just being too anxious??? I would have hoped to show at least a one pound loss, but no...nothing.

My good friend and neighbour is doing this with me so we have a good support system in place. She inspires me and I inspire her.

I'm thinking seriously about WW. From your comments, it works so maybe it's time I give it a try.
For me, it's always been the carbohydrates that get me into trouble. I could live on rice, pasta and potatoes. Also, as I've aged, losing weight has become increasingly difficult. I have to work out twice as hard and eat half as much just to maintain, let alone lose weight. I haven't checked your profile to see your age, Slick, but I do know that age is a contributing factor. After two weeks, I'll bet that you'll suddenly see a drop in weight. Have you measured yourself? I'm also willing to bet that you've lost inches. How are your clothes fitting?

I fear that I haven't been much help to you so I want to add "Don't give up!". It'll happen. Keep the faythe.
