The Big Slow Down?

I been postponing my Blog due to the fact I wasnt loosing any weight, I was going to post on the 11th but truth is, I weighed 328. Today I weighed in at 326.... not the big jump per week I been experiencing and it has me down a little. Truth is, I have been working harder, my muscles are sore everyday my calorie intake has been 300-500. I am trying really hard, but it seems the more I work out, the harder I go, the less I loose!!! What gives! I should go back to drinking jus****er and sleeping all day for 2 weeks like I did in the beginning. Minus the pain of course... I have been faithful with my schedule and not gone off the beaten path to much. While I have been given a license to experiment I have paid the price and I am a little more careful. I know I am lucky and while I ***** about a pound not dropping I have friends who still suffer, like Melissa, and Raven, who have continued problems. It is all relative isn't it? What is closer to home bothers you more, but I wanted to say to those who had and still have issues, I think about you everyday, I pray for you every chance I get and I want you all to know that I am kept humble and thankful for the experiences you share with me. I have been working hard, had over 10 shoots in a week, and have 4 girls so far next week and I have even bigger news!!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~ I will be on a reality TV show next year! ~~~~~~~~~~~ I will be on a show called Best of the Best, where 10 photographers and 13 models compete for the title Best of the Best. It will air on the Travel Channel in 07' I will make sure you all know the Dates. We tape it in Feb-March in Las Vegas, so who knows. Yes, your friendly Miles was selected as one of the top 10 photographers to compete in this! I can only hope my true personality and skill will shine during this, and I won't wig out due to the Cameras in my face at all times. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I just pray that I am close to goal weight by the time the series is taped.... Wish me luck!

Miles dont sweat it the pounds will come off very quickly in reality but in our minds never soon enough..lol Even at 2 yrs ourt my body is still changing but the scale is the same but everyone that sees me says Im still losing.. 300 cal is not very much your body will start to store fat if you dnt get in enough cal. Congrat on the tv show that is awesome look forward to seeing you Best wishes Cammy

Mile, Remember something.....muscles weigh more than fat does per square inch. If you are losing weight (even at two pounds a week) working out will help to balance you form losing too rapidly and will help continue to boost the metabolism. STOP WORRYING.....I know it's eaier said than done - but the weight WILL come off!!!!! Keep doing what you're doing - it works well!!! Dee Dee

Miles, I slowed down big time at 4 months out. I know you are not that far out yet, but it does and will happen more than once. I remember at the end of June (I was 156) saying if I never lose another pound I'll be ok with it,(as it had been 3 weeks since I had lost anything)but low and behold here I am 6 weeks later and 12 pounds lighter. I feel I'm getting to small, but others say I look ok. Mine had slowed down at one point to 5 lbs a month, but then it picked up big time. Thanks for the kind words. You are a true friend. a BIG CONGRATS on the T.V. show, we'll finally see a FULL BODY SHOT of ya then (if not before *wink wink*) WooHoo I am confident that you will do awesome on the shoot, your work is to good not to. Do you provide the clothing for the shoots for the models or do they? Muahhhhhhh Melissa

The models bring what they want, but I do have "Some" props and things. Honestly, what girl wants to wear underwear worn by unknown amounts of women? I have hats, jackets, furs, some jewlry. The way the fashion and swimwear changes every-year, if the Magazine does not provide the clothing, I ask the girls to bring their own if its to build their portfolio. Miles

Glad to see you are dropping!! It's grand isn't it! I've actually started losing again after 2 years! WHOOPPEEE!! It's a great feeling. However, this time, I've had to work MUCH harder at it, but I'm down 12.5 pounds. Thank GOODNESS!! Miles!! I am soooo happy for you on the tv show!! PLEASE keep us posted, I look forward to watching you!!! Tami
