Fed up

Options

I have been on a new diet plan for 3 weeks now at 1225 calories per day and I haven’t even lost a kilo yet. I’m going to the gym 3 days a week and I’m eating so well but I just can’t shift the weight. So fed up already 😤

    Hi there, I hope you didn't want to vent only, but also return.

    Depending on your current weight it might take a bit longer for weightloss to show. New exercise causes water retention. A new diet regime might cause temporary constipation. Certain times in the menstrual cycle cause water retention. All of those things can mask fat loss on the scale while fat is actually getting less. Patience! I know it's difficult, but please hang in there.

    How are you measuring the food you are eating and the exercise you are doing? If you aren't weighing your food, you may be eating more than you think you are. Double check the database entries you are using to make sure they are accurate. Since they are user entered, there can be errors. Plus manufacturers change their products so what used to be accurate may not be true now. i.e. my bread went from 100 calories a slice to 120 or 130 per slice. That extra can add up. Not including everything you eat or drink can make a difference too.
