On-going battle with the same 10 lbs.
If you have read any of my past entries, you will know that I have been battling the same 10 lbs for the last 4 yrs. I have done Weight Watchers three times, ediets.com twice, a disgusting Diet-to-your-Door once and only ate about 3 meals because they were so bad.
I weigh 135. I weighed 127 before and after my first child, but I cannot get the last weight gain post-partum child #2 to go away despite all kinds of efforts. My friend is convinced that I am not eating enough! HAHAHA. I laugh every time I hear that one, but still, she is convinced.
As you know, I did Boot Camp for a month and I dieted that entire time (and yes, I took in enough calories, I didn't starve myself) and I didn't lose weight (didn't gain either). I am now running 4-5 times a week for 2-3 miles or at least 35 minutes and I am doing it with my heart rate in the right zone. I basically keep the heart rate up for an hour. No loss. I am also continuing squats, lunges and other calisthenics types of things. No Loss. No Loss. No Loss.
I would love to hear from anyone else who has this experience and if you overcame it....WHAT DID YOU DO? HELP!
At this point, I'm not even in it for the weight loss.....just great for my heart!

Johna,
You are not alone!
Two years ago I trained and ran a 1/2 marathon. For 6 months I was running more than 5 miles a day 4 days a week. After all that, I figured I would at least lose 5 lbs. Nope, nothing, nada. BUT, I did gain muscle, endurance and self-confidence. Much better than pounds if you ask me! Keep it up.
