going to the gym.

^ I'm not quitting either, but I am annoyed. Don't get me wrong - I feel better, I feel thinner, I feel stronger. MY clothes fit better & the dreaded backfat is pretty much gone. But when I did WW last (anout 5 years ago) I dropped the weight much faster. Stupid metabolism.

I hear ya...I was in my teens when I last did WW though - so more active, younger etc - I dropped weight like crazy. And they told me at WW that since I'm not "obese" that the weight will come off much more slowly....

Well it sure is coming off slowly, and it's pissing me off. But I want to get rid of the back fat too - I hate it, it's depressing. Sigh - so I'll stick with it - keep eating right and well I do need to get better with the exercise - I'm workin' on that!

Same problem here. On the "Biggest Loser", they lose like 7-10 lbs a week! It blows my mind. The women are eatting 1200-1500 calories a day. I guess they excerise HARD!! ALL DAY!! Is that why?

Yes, that's why! I want to add more exercise too but it's always hard to find the energy and time. I usually just push myself because I feel so good when I'm done! Hehe. "Do I feel like going to the gym? No, but I'm going." Right now I just want to go to bed.

Don't forget that weight training really helps boost your metabolism so you burn more calories even at rest.

No seriously, you haven't seen me in awhile! I've put on about 2 lbs.

I don't do sore. So my progress is S-L OW. But I'm pretty strong now. Once you go up in weight and start feeling stronger then you get into it. I frigging hated lifting but now I tolerate it and sometimes actually enjoy it!
