Diary of a Mommy and a Military Wife

I'm feeling frustrated!!!!

Why cant I just LOSE weight like I used to? I'm only 23!!!!!!

I remember losing up to 5lbs a week in the past and now it seems like I'm barely getting a 1lb. It feels like an endless journey really.
 
5lbs is a lot to lose in a week, 1 percent of your body weight is a more reasonable amount to lose - healthily so that it will stay off, and so you don't lose muscle mass along with fat.

Keep track of your calories and of your workouts and as long as you'reconsistant the weight will come off.. have some patience with yourself
 
I just wish it would happen already

I just wish my weight would drop!!!!! I have never had such a hard time losing weight. Having a baby and getting older really doesnt work with you either. The last couple of days I was a bit down about it all and I think I am feeling better today.

Hey Natalie,

Hun, first off Welcome!
Ok, I need to start taking some of my own advice, but don't beat yourself up. You're doing great!!! I have learned that having children slows your metabolism down. I'm probably wrong, but that's what's happend to me. I'm not stating a fact, nor am I saying that is correct, but just from my unfortunate experience.
Anywho, back to my point. Don't always pay attention to the scale, I look at how my clothes fit, and inches lost as well. I always fluctuate around that time of the month by up to 5 lbs. It all changes the number on the scale. Just keep working out and watching portions. Go for long walks with your baby, don't forget to hydrate, water is the best key for weightloss. I hate water but I force myself, I hate working out too. :rolleyes: Oh well!

Sorry I got off topic, have a great night, hope to talk to you soon!!!
 
Hey Natalie, Just thought I would drop by and see how the other military wives were doing. We have to stick together as far as military. I know first hand how hard it is not having your hubby around to help you out with the kids and support around the house in general. My husband has been stationed overseas or deployed for the last 3 years of our son's life and we haven't lived together since september 2004 which is really hard on our marriage let alone our son. He really doesn't understand why daddy only gets to come home every 6 months for 2 weeks at a time or why he can't call and talk to his daddy. I added you to msn so if you ever want to talk or vent or just need someone who really understands how hard this military wife thing really is you can im me or email me. anytime you just need to talk to someone.
