I went back to the gym yesterday and had a good workout - elliptical, running 3.2 milss again, and a little bit of abs. I was running short on time so I didn't get all my abs in. Today I am taking a "Body Blitz" class, which is cardio and scuplting. Tomorrow I will probably run again. Then I have to go back to my cardio/weight training class on Sunday. My schedule is so tight and planned out lately. I am doing all this stuff, watching the food, and I haven't lost any weight in 6 weeks. I am beyond frustrated with the scale, but my clothes are getting looser, I'm losing off of my hips and thighs, and I FEEL so much fitter. I can actually run that 3.2 fairly okay now, it's still hard, but I don't struggle and I'm not in pain like I used to be. I actually think that's the greatest reward - how much easier it is. Better than running the 5k. Just that I used to not be able to run more than a minute, and now I can run 49 minutes in a row, without really breathing heavy, and able to carry on a brief conversation while I run. I am barely breathing through my mouth! It's awesome. The actual feeling that you're getting fit is better than gold stars and tee shirts and compliments. Being able to do it is the best reward.

WOOT - THAT is why you are doing all this stuff - it ain't just about the scale, it is about improving our health...and you quit smoking, too! You are impressive - and I don't give a sh#t what your underimpressed doctor says to you about it - she doesn't live inside your body. As far as your weightloss goes, I still think you are starting to develop muscle tissue and as you already learned, getting smaller. We want to be smaller looking, not necessarily weigh less. People see US, not the number on the scale. SO, not giving advice here cause you don't want it but I know you are really frustrated with the scale. The exercise is great! Maybe you could drink 96 ounces of water daily, keep the fat grams under 30 daily,and get the protein up to 90-100g per day to see if it moves you along again. I know what works for me doesn't work for everyone but experimenting and changing it up ia usually what gets me out of a stall.
