I did an exercise/diet program years back and was discouraged to see no weight coming off. You probably are experiencing weight loss the same time you are experiencing muscle gain. Power 90 is an intense workout so don't go by a scale. When I was weight lifting before I was seeing no change on the scale but I persisted. Eventually that muscle I gained ate up all the fat and my weight dropped considerably. Keep doing what you are doing. Just make sure that you are eating enough calories. I weigh less than you and am eating more than you it appears. Eating not enough calories can stall weight loss. I will have 1 cup egg whites for breakfast (the Egg whites your pour into a frying pan kind). I have about a cup of veggies. I also have about 1 to 2 cups Pinto beans. I have a mid-morning snack that is a full 14oz can of black beans with a decent size piece of chicken. For lunch it is the same thing but with a veggie of some kind. Dinner is around 5pm and again it is the same as lunch. I do not have any snacks after that. My starting weight was 232.2 back on 10/18/09. 18 days later I am now at 217.2. I have 12 days to lose 5 pounds to lose the full 20 pounds. I appear to be losing a pound a day. Tomorrow is my cheat day and I take full advantage of that as 6 days is about all I can handle from eating the same foods. I will have McDonalds for breakfast (2 McSkillet Burritos and 1 Sausage McMuffin with Egg). For lunch I often will not go wild but will eat something delicious. Dinner is when I will pig out on pizza but I still try not to eat after 6pm. The next day is when the scale will read 2 pounds more than what I was on Friday. By Tuesday is when I will be back to my Friday weight and then will lose 1 pound per day until Saturday. After my 30 days are up is when I will begin Power90x myself. Manuel,

I know it's not what major gym goers would have respect for, but i started Curves last week. I think it would be a good place to get me back in the motion of going to the gym. I have went every day so far except for the weekends and i feel great. Once I get used to doing that and get a bit back in to a little bit of shape I will start back at the big gym. I know it's going to take time, it did before and it always will. I may not be able to lose ALL the weight I wanted to before I go back to Ireland for Christmas but I know the people I love wont think about it as much as I do. I am really the ONLY one who cares what I look like and I am going to go there with a good attitude and just enjoy the time I am spending with my family.
