Fitness gripe. Gripe, gripe, gripe.

ARGH.

Another month of hard work and nothing to show for it. No wonder it's so easy for me to fall off the wagon these days.

Today I ate 4 chocolate bars. In one sitting. ZERO positive feedback + exercise related injuries = perfect reason to say "screw it all!".

Why not? It's not like eating healthy food in moderation or exercising actually benefits me in any way. Might as well.

Three months into getting "fitter" and I weigh the exact same (my highest weight ever), my measurements are all exactly the same, my body fat percentage is exactly the same and photographic evidence suggests that my body looks exactly the same.

Photographic evidence here.

Seriously. Why bother.

Well if it makes you feel any better I just ate an entire 10" pizza dripping with grease and chilli and a portion of chips (fries) all to myself

In one sitting.

And for the record - I think you have a FANTASTIC figure.

You are slim, but curvy.

Well, coming from an unbiased eyes I DO see a difference. I see more definition in your stomach, legs. Less cellulite in the thigh area. I can tell from the back view that you have slimmed a bit.

The one thing I would point out is to make sure your diet is low in fat and that you are eating enough carbs. Fat is a killer and most people eat WAY too much, even if they think they are eating healthy.

I can really see a difference though. Keep it up girl!

I do see a small difference.

Being as small as you already are, it is going to be naturally more difficult for you to drop any weight compared to someone that is actually overweight.

Heck, I'd kill to have your body. I'll likely *never* be thin again.. in my family after pregnancy,there is just no hope.

ETA: One workout program Dustin SWEARS by is P90X. Whenever he does his workout, I usually see results in just a few months, and he's *skinny*. He doesn't need to lose weight, but you can already see the muscle. When I did the workouts with him when we were younger, I dropped a whole size and got so much more toned in just a few months, and I was already very skinny back then.

Wow! That's...amazing to hear. I sure as heck don't see it, but I'll totally take your word for it.

That makes me feel a lot better!

Man..I thought my back was the worst part.

I'm glad I posted these pictures. I genuinely don't see a change, but maybe I'm just being overly critical. It's nice to get someone else's unbiased opinion.

I'm totally going to take other peoples' word for it!

P90X...I've never even heard of it! I'll do some research.

Don't you just HATE how easily guys slim down and tone up? I swear it takes so much less effort for them to see much bigger results.

I'm definitely not expecting major weight loss (I'm only about 10 or 15 pounds from being a very fit weight). It's both a benefit to be close to your goal weight (a less daunting task) and a drawback to be so close...cause it takes SO much more work to see even just a bit of an improvement.

But I have a bit of renewed confidence now... Apparently other people can see something I can't! I'll take what I can get.

And I'll definitely look into that program you mentioned.
