If you never lost another pound (which is pretty much impossible with what you are doing) working out would still be great for you and I am really proud of you and the effort you are putting into it.
Deb, it sounds like a visit to the dr. is a good idea. You probably know all this but exercise can help naturally boost testerone, help with insomnia and that lifting weights helps to maintain bone density that women tend to lose as hormone levels get messed up! I sleep so much better on the days I work out. Partygirl is right about the GYN.. For me, I think it is a mix of hormones, major stress and winter.
I bet if you look in the mirror you see a difference Kim. Might not be a huge difference YET but im sure its there. keep going
Her is an exhustive list of "other" ways to work off calories it is a cut and paste form a different site hopefully it is not too offensive!! How about sex to burn calories? Since there are so many variables, and you need a fifth form polynomial to solve, fill in the variables from the matrices below: The Act of Insertion If the man is ready (same vice-versa) 1/4 calories If the woman is not (same vice-versa) 274 calories Satisfying Partner (organ size) Most experts agree that size means nothing. Shape is what counts, and the man with a shaped organ can write his own ticket. In those rare instances where a man has a genuinely small member, he may have to compensate by working slightly harder, but this is good for weight loss. A man with a really large organ, while he might not have to work as hard once inside, may exhaust himself just trying to convince his partner to let him put it inside.

For Men: 2 21 calories 3 39 calories 4 57 calories (For a man, its a different situation, perhaps due to physiological and biological reasons.
