I usually don't pay attention to my weight as such, just the way I look and feel.

dsteding:Sounds like you are well on your way . . . exercise is addicting, I've gotten back into working out over the past few months (my second two years of law school got me off exercise for a while) and it really is satisfying.
Ber Rabbit:I'm still trying to get into the "addicted" mode. I still have to force myself to get into the gym and really focus to get through the cardio. I try focusing on my music to get into a zone but soon I start thinking "Geez, am I done yet?" and when I look down I'm usually less than 3 minutes into the workout. By the time 9 minutes rolls around I'm thinking "You're almost halfway there, keep pushing--but I want to GO HOME!" It's really a struggle to keep myself from saying "That's good enough" and quitting half-way through. I go through the workout just wanting it to be over so I can see the results whether that be distance on the cardio or total weight lifted on the machines. I wonder how long it's going to take before I enjoy the "journey" rather than the "destination."

Ber Rabbit:Yesterday was my 6th workout and I have gone from 137.6 pounds to 141.8. I was HOPING I would lose some of the fat that I had accumulated over the last year but it's not happening. What am I doing wrong?

Wayward Son:It takes testosterone to make big muscles. A woman who isn't getting azz shots is not going to bulk up significantly. You WILL put on muscle, you just won't bulk up like a man will. And even a man isn't going to seriously bulk up without a lot of T in his system.
Ber Rabbit:Right now I'm trying to get to the point where I enjoy working out. I need a lot of "carrots" to keep me going at the moment and short workouts, no matter how hard, that get results are yummy carrots :lilbunny:
