No to the supplements, but that is just me.

What is your deficit on an average day? Do you have your burn meter set on the right activity level? I am guessing that at sedentary you burn 2500 calories (cause at 200 I burn 2000). If you are then adding in your workouts........you might have too big of a deficit (as crazy as that may sound).

Check on all of that and check how you are measuring your food. Do you have a digital scale? If so, measure out everything to ensure you are getting the right numbers. If not, think about getting one (I love mine).

You need 1000 cal deficit every day for a week to lose 2 pounds.....I know you know that, though.

Also, you are not a fat cow!!! Go ahead and take some measurements so you can compare the next time you feel like this.

I had brussel sprouts, too!!!

Wow, this dieting isn't easy. I just started and really just because I wanted to get healthy. It sounds like you have made leaps and bounds and I'm sure that anyone just meeting you now isn't thinking "look at that cow". If they are they are very shallow. It sounds like you are working very hard to reach your goal. 5 - 6 days at the gym sounds pretty committed to me! Don't let anyone discourage you. Don't let stress get you down! You can do it!! It sounds like you are eating for comfort. I'm not the best to give advice on comfort but I'm sure you just need some good support! Find a good friend to support you (I know that's easier said than done). Good Luck!! My hopes are with you! Dawn

Wow, I was thinking more like, "Wow, she doesn't have that much further to go with her weight loss!"  I am not familiar with the supplement you mentioned.  I would definitely talk to a doc before taking anything like that.  I've been on a plateau for a looooooooong time.  It's going to break soon though.  Keep the faith!  xoxoxo

I honestly think ur working ur body to hard Shizz.. I mean 5-6 days a week is alot... and u just jumped into doing it, not like u b build ur body up to it... and u may not be eating enough cals..??? 1700 is a good amount but u may be burning alot of it off?? do u keep track of ur decifits?   maybe try 4 days a week for a few weeks, keep eating healthy.. give urself a break..  In the past, when i wuld start my "diet"  I would start out HARD>. hitting the gym 6 days.. and a few months later i was burned out and tired of it...  now im starting out medium... I still dont go to the gym like i should though,  BUt yeah.. dont push ur body to hard.. i think its tryin gto let u kno that it needs a little break??  have u tried posting a ummmm forum? and seeing what everyone else thinks??  ANYWAYS>. girl ur looking good.. who cares what ppl are thinking?  u know ur looking good!!!!!!   i wouldnt do the supplements!!!!!   theres no magic ingrediant thats gonna speed up weight loss.. i think the only thing they do is like, make u less hungry and give u more energy but u can get those special k  protein water for that!!!!! keep ur head up girly!!! ur still shizztastic!!
