Default Re: Should i just give up now?...

Hi CJ 07,

Higgies is right - try not to weigh too often - your body is going through a lot of complex chnages and it needs times to settle down into this new routine.

A couple of things are worth thinking about at this stage. Firstly take measurements of your body now to compare with later if the scale remains the same.

Also how much weight are you hoping to lose? If it is relatively little, you won't lose a great deal early on.

Check and double check what you are eating. Check for hidden sugars, sweeteners, etc. What amounts of these foods have you been having? Measuring with cups is easier to control that weighing, I have found. Also, measure your water to be sure you're having enough.

Finally, any exercise will help get you into fat burning mode.

Good luck and let us know how it goes
