    I eat healthy. I eat oatmeal or fruit for breakfast. A salad or soup for lunch, and usually chicken and veggies for dinner. No sodas, no sweets.

    does not matter….your calorie counts can still be off and you would not lose ..

    if you eat "healthy" food at maintenance you will maintain, and not lose.

    get a food scale…weight/log/measure everything..

    why did you ask for advice if you are just going to argue with it????

    ^ this was my rude response….

    OP - you are way too sensitive …

    but like I said, you have all the answers already, so you obviously do not need any advice from me….

    Is there something out there that will tell me how much certain things should weigh??
    One serving white chicken breast weigh 4 Oz and about 110 calories....?

    Look, you only weigh the things that doesn't a;ready have calories measured out. If you eat a can of Campbell Chicken Noodle soup you know you are getting 140 calories. You don't weigh the soup. If you are grilling chicken than you need to weigh the chicken to know how much you are eating.

    Its all about deficit when losing weight. Basic math. Everything else is just tools to help you.

    No, I do not weigh my food. I am just counting the calories of everythign i eat. But i put down every singe thing I eat. I am 5'10 and even when i was skinny i still had curves.

    If you're not weighing your food, then you really have no idea how much you are eating. If you think this advice is wrong - go weigh something that you eat. It will be the most eye opening experience you've had in a while. It was for me. If you are truly eating 1200 calories or less, taking those injections (which shouldn't even be necessary if you're eating 1200) and still not losing - then my money is on you're eating a lot more than you think.

    Buy a scale. Start weighing every solid food you eat. Measure liquids with a measuring cup or spoon and then give it about 4 weeks.

    ETA: Great idea to start lifting heavy - it's awesome. If you don't weigh your food, you still might not lose weight.

    AM CURIOUS ABOUT THIS, how do you weigh the food on this scale? (silly question I know), but how do you know how many calories it is by its weight?
