Lack of activity destroys the good condition of every human being, while movement and methodical physical exercise save it and preserve it. ~Plato
I had a few days off work and used them to try a few new classes at the gym, I tried Tai Chi, Yoga and a class called Get Fit. I really enjoyed the Yoga Class and the Get Fit class was good as well, but the Tai Chi class was too slow and tedious for me. I didn't want to be rude so I stuck it out but couldn't wait for it to be over. The Yoga poses were challenging and the stretching felt good. The Get Fit class entailed aerobics, light weights and abdominal work on a floor mat. I found it a nice combination and a good workout.
My favorite exercise is Zumba. A friend said it felt as good as dancing at a Night Club without the jerks and the drunks, I agree.
I haven't lost any weight for the last 2 weeks and I feel discouraged. I keep trying to concentrate on my non-scale victories, like a smaller waist measurement and better endurance for activity, but the scale still haunts me.

I found that when I quit weighing myself all the time my weight started to level off. The scale doesn't tell the whole tale. If you know you're waist is getting smaller and you're feeling then you are making progress.
I guess it always comes down to the math, calories in calories out. Are you checking your heart rate while you exercise? I try to keep mine high throughout and I believe it makes a big difference in the calories burned. that's why the elliptical is working for me, I'm at maximum. Maybe look at what you ate the weeks you lost and stick with it. Good Luck. I know it's so frustrating.
