slowing down
Jun 20, 2011
so, here it is, 4.5 months this thursday, and i am really stuck again. i just was reading my profile, and on may 6th i put down that i had lost 71 pounds. since then i have only lost 7 more pounds. that's 7 pounds in the last 45 days. i'm limiting to 600 - 800 calories per day, with at least 80 gms of protein, about 50 carbs, and very few of them being sugars. i do zumba about 3 to 4 times a week, and right at this time, i'm working on the jillian michael's 30 day shred. i do arm exercises with my patient's every day (i work in a physical rehab), and i walk between 5 and 8 miles per day. i also do circuit training. i'm not quite sure what's going on. it isn't like i'm really close to goal or anything. i still have to lose like 50 pounds. i expected maybe the last 20 or 25 pounds to be really difficult, not the last 50!i am greatful that it is still moving in the right direction, but at this rate, i won't lose my 50 for 315 days. are you serious? that's nearly a year! i don't know ANYONE having the same issues i am with this small a weight loss while working my ass off. i know that people say, "you're probably gaining muscle". however, if i am eating 600-800 calories a day, 4 months post surgery, and i'm burning at least 1500 calories a day (on a bad day), but usually 2800 calories according to my fitbit.
really, how is that supposed to be? even if someone doesn't have surgery, and starts walking 5-8 miles a day (treadmill, not just what you walk during the day for work or whatever) without even changing their diet will lose more than 7 pounds in 45 days!
i'm just frustrated.
