So a few months ago, I started eating healthy and low cal...I worked out intensly six days a week, for almost a month and lost nothing.

This week I committed to getting fit (again, ha!). I'm only working out 3 days a week now so that I don't get tired of it (and only a 20 minute workout).  I had pasta every day, indulged in some chocolates, had a nice big slice of lemon poppy bread at work - and lost 3 pounds in a week.  However, I've had smaller portions and haven't eaten really late.

I guess as long as you don't stuff yourself, you can eat anything and lose weight easily! And you don't have to kill yourself workout out!  Let's hope this trend continues.

Weight loss is funny.

haha, well like I said..I'm not downing it. I'm eating it, but smaller portions of it.

I don't know where I lose weight first...I think it comes off everywhere at the same time.

@mommytobee: I don't have a crazy amount to lose. 15 pounds and I'll be happy for life! But this is working so far. If the trend continues another week, I can be confident that it's not a fluke and that I should just stick to eating/working out this way.

You're right about last time, I probably did gain a lot of muscle, but I can't keep up the lifestyle of working out that hard 6 days a week. This schedule seems a lot better.

@MrsMcGyro: For sure, I was on my way to getting fit last time...I was doing Insanity...that workout is killer. 

My point is that my whole like I get these bursts of motivation where I want to lose weight, and I workout every day like crazy and count calories. If I lose weight, it's only a pound or two, even though I do get leaner.  But I also overwork myself and stop working out because I get tired of it.

I want to see if this new approach works, so far it has. I'm not eating bad, I'm just letting myself eat what I want, in moderation. And not killing my body with intense workouts.
