being put off exercise

[lumpyandbumpy]

i've noticed a few posts on here when people have mentioned that they are not getting good weight losses when they exercise. its starting to put me off doing anything until i get to goal but at the same time i'm worried that if i dont do anything at all, i'll end up with saggy skin. can anyone suggest anything i can do in the house which wont affect my loss but will help me retain elasticity in my skin? would just toning exercises e.g. squats, sit-ups do the trick?? thanks xx

Sometimes it's not about what the scale say honey, it can be that they are just losing inches rather than lbs. Don't be put off, there is a really good sticky about scales you need to have a read. Basically if you know you have been 100% regardless of what the scale and tape measure say there is no way it will come off eventually.

I started doing 10mins of intense exercise a night and it is making me feel great knowing that i am doing something rather that just waiting for the shakes to work! hope this makes sense!??

i started doing the 10 mins too, although i only did 4 minutes, following the Tabata method of 20 secs intense workout then 10 secs break. i need to do this more regularly i think to get into the toning again. im on holidays 1st week of june so would be nice to lose another 10lbs and get into a bikini but not look saggy, lol!!

Keep doing what u are...I have bee also getting feedbacks for my poor weightloss and most of them say it could be gym...

I am going to stop it for a week though am not convinced but am doing it more ruling out the arguments that my CD make when I don't lose weight.

I will probably get back to my workouts next week...

Good luck

Mostly on phone. But can access of if needed.

On pc the stickies are at the top of the page & are marked 'sticky'. On my android app, there is a box marked sticky right at the top next to the blue one that says threads. Hope this helps.
