Hello,
I have a bit of a problem!
All through my weight watchers journey (the ups and downs) I have always been very consistent. I know I lose 1 pound a week with good effort and more for being very strict with points and a touch of activity. half if ive gone over a by a few points.
As I'm abroard in 4 weeks now, 3 weeks ago i decided to start properly exercising for the 1st time in a long time! (well over a year) So 4-5 times a week i have been jogging on the treadmill or doing an exercise dvd. I have other wise stuck to my points but eaten about half of my earnt activity points so as not to be undereating. Im only doing half an hour exercise by the way nothing crazy.
So the 1st 2 weeks i lost a total of 1.5 pounds for both weeks and i was sad but decided not to worry. But today (the 3rd weigh in) i only lost half a pound. I can almost guarantee if i had not exercised then the last few weeks i would have lost 3 pounds and ive only lost 2 with exercise!
I know the old adaje that muscle weight could be coming on but jogging doesnt gain enough muscle for this. And i know if you dont eat enough your body clings on but i have been eating my points plus a few activity points.
I am so disappointed. 7 weeks ago i thought it was possible to lose 10 pounds for my hol. Now with 4 weeks to go and 8 pounds still to go i cant reach what was an attainable goal.
sorry to moan but im really sad because i felt really proud of myself exercising. Is it possible i should stop the exercise? Maybe it doesnt suit me! Can this be the case? Might i be thinner for my hol if i quit exercise?
Really don't fancy wearing a swimming cozzy in 4 weeks :-(
