    well, for starters it sounds like you're overtraining and stressing yourself out -- two things that'll never lead to reaching your goals. you need to relax some girl!!!

    Hi Leahann. I've been struggling with the same issues for a long time, too. Personally my problem has been portion control. Once I got a kitchen scale and actually started measuring what it is that I am actually eating, it made something click in my brain. It might help you too? I wish you the best of luck!!
