My diet I have eliminated all sugar and white flours. And my fat intake isnt perfect but signifacantly lower than before I started. I can honestly say I eat right.
My b.f.% has only down 1%. I want to curl up in a corner and just cry. The crying part I did when I got home. BUt I am soooo down about it all right now. THe negetivity has really set in.
Its so confusing ..like you said, one person says cardio cardio cardio. and another says wieghts weight weights.
My ole man is melting away. And he's all like "dont give up" BLABLABLA.
He's says he can feel the muscle and the changes but I just wanna tell him to get F......d. He doesn't understand.
$40 bucks a month, loosing sleep getting up early everyday, hours of calorie counting and meal preparing. What for? I'm sooo upset. The light at the end of the tunnel turned off.  |
How long have you been doing this? I'm asking because it's going to take some time.
I don't really suggest the weighing and testing of the body fat as a way to measure your gains or losses. I feel like it can set people up for a lot of disappointment. Use the mirror as your guide. You will start seeing a difference, and you will feel better about yourself. That will be your motivation. Don't let a body fat test discourage you from your goals. Once you're in a place where you notice a significant change, then test your body fat, or the inches you've lost.
I never get on a scale, and very rarely have my body fat tested. You can even take progress pictures to track your changes. I hate the whole numbers thing, especially since it obviously hindered your motivation to continue.
Don't give up.
