I Need Encouragement and Advice to Go On [Forum]
Saturday, May 1, 2010 9:30I am a 25-year old female. I am called ‘a little woman’ because I am only 5″2′.
I haven’t paid attention to my body since I got over 120lbs, when I was at college.
My ideal is 104-105lb. I got to that weight by eating nothing and taking pills before. But that lovely number did not last long. I gained back later when I started to eat. So I gave up that unhealthy way, and tried to do sports rather than diet. I know, I hate sports, I like the sweet food, however, I love beautiful clothes. Hence I have been controlling my food and doing some sports at least 3-4 years.
2 weeks ago, I took the body test, and I was shocked by my weight – 121.65lb. The worst thing is my body fat excess, 28. I was so frustrated with the data, because I would never have thought I had got to 121lbs.
So the next day after weighting I started my weight-loss plan: increase my exercises – jogging and fast walking to 3-4 miles a day, 4 times a week; I’m much stricter with food – I had nothing at breakfast, ate vegetable, fish, tofu, and a small bowl of bean rice for lunch, got some fruits (usually 1 case of strawberry (1oz) or 2-3 small grapefruits) as my dinner. By the way, I take complex VB, VC, and L-carnitine everyday. It worked – last Friday I weighted myself – 116 lb. I was so happy and encouraged to lose 5lb a week.
To get to my ideal weight quickly, I followed my plan more strictly this week. Today I weight myself again – 116.5 lb. Nothing lost but gained 0.5lb. I have no idea why I had this result. What’s wrong? I need professional advice. I need encouragements. I need confidence to go on.
