No progress after eights weeks

Artistsandy Posts: 1 Joined: 2008/04/15	2008/04/15, 03:15 PM I have been working out for over eight weeks now, approximately 4-5 days a week. Over the last four weeks I've increased my intensity and am enjoying the higher intensity as I feel like I've really done something - sweat and all. However, I am not seeing any kind of movement on the scale or in my clothes. I watch what I eat during the week, trying to stay between 1200 and 1300 calories a day. On the weekends I don't binge but I do eat what I want in moderation and don't worry about the 1200-1300 calorie range I try to follow during the week. I'm am getting VERY frustrated by no results, either on the scale or in the way my clothes fit. I currently weigh 246 pounds. I've had a history of bulimia and hope this hasn't totally destroyed my ability to get my metabolism working correctly again. Help.........(yes, I'm frustrated but I'm not going to stop exercising......yet ;) -------------- Artistsandy :)
