    Hey guys, really looking for some help here. I am not over weight and only have 4kilos to go but i am still not loosing weight !! Why is this ?? I am doing everything I can, im under my calorie goal every day and im working out for an hour a day (and i dont mean light exercise). Im burning an average 650 cals a day on exercise and despite my calorie counter saying i should loose a pound a weight i havent seen any change!! Please tell me where Im going wrong ??? Any advice greatly appreciated !!

    I'm about your weight (60kg) and 5'6". You look about my height. My question is - what exercises are you doing which has you burning 650 cals an hour? There is no way I can burn 650 cals in an hour of intense exercise. If your cal burn is accurate, upping calories is probably the only way forward.

    I just want to say good for you, OP, for having such a great attitude. Often people start a thread like this and they can get really defensive and argue back with advice. I can tell that eating more is nervous making for you, but you were cool on here about it. Thanks!

    And I pretty much always agree with Taso around here. You can trust that he's giving good thoughtful info and not blowing a bunch of bro science at you.

    No not yet, I just joined and I have a ankle injury right now and can't work out. Love Zumba, I go to a local community class that is held at a local gym. Strained a ligament squatting??How dumb is that. Anyway I am in a brace for one more week and I do hope to get back to excerise soon. Good luck with you healthly life style. sounds like you are on the right track. TTL

    I don't see where you're logging anything... are you doing it elsewhere?

    Are you actually logging food? I looked at your diary, but it shows nothing for the last several days at least...

    1. If not logging, how do you know you're staying "under" your calorie goal?
    2. Are you eating back at least part of that huge calorie burn?
    3. Are you taking measurments?

    You aren't gaining significant muscle if you're eating at a deficit, so that's not it...but you might not be eating enough (or you're not accurately tracking what you eat).

    I didn't see any entries in your diary. But if you're hitting the carb "goal", then that's why you aren't losing. I've been eating 1000 less per day for months and haven't lost anything. Dropped my carb intake, and now I'm FINALLY dropping the weight.

    For what it's worth... your picture is pretty darn cute. A lot of us would LOVE to be at your weight. If you can't lose that last 4 kilos, try to enjoy where you're at.

    That would explain the lack of entries. Which dummy kicked this thread back up? BRB

    Maybe this is why we think noobs don't use the search function? When they bump old threads, no one can figure out what's going on.

    If you are losing inches, why are you concerned about the kilos? It's the inches that will make you LOOK better.

    You are probably under eating which is why many people stall.
