My weight loss journey has just begun and I wanna loose about 5 kilograms. I was at about half of "the way" but then sprained my ankle when playing basketball and then I had to rest for like 4our weeks. Now I'm starting again... Best, :) Well, this is encouraging.

My Round 1 started back in May'06. I got off to a very slow start that time as well -- granted, I'm not a cold-turkey kind of girl and it took me a while to fully commit. Cheating on the weekends was a huge hold-up for me! This time around, I'm on week 4 and same story - I am slowly converting to the better habits one or two at a time. As far as jump-starting your metabolism, it may help you to try to work in two workouts per day: a lighter 25 minute one plus a full-out sweaty 3 or 4 pt workout. Try to do this 4 days per week for the two weeks, plus your single work outs the other 3 days of the week. Remember, weight training and building muscle burns more fat than cardio alone. Other than this, just being honest with yourself about your portions and points will make a big difference, even when you really want to not acknowledge or record a point here or there. I know we can do this (again)! Wish me luck and I wish you luck back! P.S. Thanks for all the great recipes you share.

Seriously...you are attempting to retrain your body and it has served you well so far...it will get you there. Having said all that, I'm 45 and miss the days when I could do said retraining in a few weeks!

Weight Watchers is one system that allows this.

This losing weigh ounce by ounce is not only annoying, its downright depressing. But we have to keep at it. It's the only way to go. I know how you feel.
