I'm only losing about 1-1.5 pounds a week and it's annoying me. I look in the mirror and don't see much difference at all and want to see a noticeable difference quicker. =[
IIN?
Do you really expect to actually SEE a difference in weight within the matter of a week or two? Its not going to happen. Anybody who is losing weight rapidly enough to see results within a week or so must be on drugs or severely sick. Losing weight that fast is not healthy.
You know, you should try dieting to be healthy too, and not for a purely superficial reason like looking skinnier. I know a lot of skinny girls who are terribly unhealthy. Its healthy to have some meat on your bones, and its more acceptable looking than being a stick insect anyway.
I feel your pain, weight used to be so important to me that I would obssess over it and depress myself until I started realising that aslong as I know I'm healthy and eating and drinking relatively healthy things, then weight, as far as looks go, is not that important. Just make sure you're healthy.
I dunno, for me, I really want to be skinny but I do know what you mean. It's just so hard to not see the results happening quicker. At this rate, it seems like it's going to be several months until I notice. :/ I eat healthy but cut to 900 cals a day because I have bad joints/can't exercise at the moment.
Welcome to the struggle of losing weight. It WILL take several months to see a significant improvement in weight, and its not a once off thing either. Once that weight is off, you have to continue to follow a healthy diet everyday and get sufficient daily excersize.
Why do you think so many people end up giving up on the whole getting in shape and staying that way thing? Because its hard work and you don't see immediate results. Everything natural is the same, a lot of effort, very slow results. I've tried a lot of natural remedies for my severe eczema, and nothing helped. I recently started a course of high dose systemic cortisone medication, and my eczema is clearing up already.
You want fast results? Get yourself a diet pill. They'll make you feel horrible but hey, you'll be skinny, and that's what you're after, right? I hear FOF (fuck off fat) is a very effective diet pill. I also hear the side effects are hideous but you see results within a week or so.
If you want some faster results that REALLY worked for me, I have a simple piece of advice. You need to incorporate weight lifting. By increasing muscle you increase your metabolism. What has REALLY REALLY worked for me, and I recommend it. If you try this you will not regret it. You get some organic hamburger. Not that expensive, maybe $8 for a package or so and that feeds 2 or 3 people maybe. Ok before you work out, eat some of the organic grass fed hamburger, then when you lift weights, you do SLOW reps. pretend that the weights are a slow moving elevator. it's a lot harder but you see results like the next day after you sleep. I tried this method after seeing this girl lifting weights, I swear she looked like She-Ra. She would use small weights, really super slow like perfect as if it was a piece of equipment on a belt or something. then went up to higher weights but always SLOW and CONTROLLED. If you have cellulite, do this with the squats or a machine that works the glutes. If it's hard don't give up. If you're out of shape in the area it's bcuz you're weak there. just try and try and give it your all and you will not be disappointed. When I started eating the hamburger, it gave me a BIG leg up too. There is a big difference between non organic that just makes you gain weight, and the type that is converted to energy instead of fat. Just try this method once and you'll be hooked!
Do not care ad out your weight your perfect the why you are do not Chang that god made you who you are .
It's normal to want to see the results in a mirror. Be patient and continue your efforts.
