I've been working out for a while. Doing pushups,squats, crunches, zumba, youtube videos online. It just seems like none of it is working. i've even tried cutting down on the food. i've tried the water diet and lost 4 lbs in two days. but i got tired of water and gave up on it. if anyone has workout tips, or just any tips at all, please help!!!:ohwell:

What is your diet like?

Without knowing anything else about you...did you just simply try and find out what calories you need, take a deficit, and then track them? If so, did you stick with it for longer than a week?

I eat A LOT of fruit during the day. Then have a regular dinner. During the day i might have a sandwich. but at dinner i usually have pork or beef and a vegetable. I might sneek a few sweets here and there.

I have not tried that actually. but its a great idea

i suggest you start tracking your diet. If you are eating majority of just fruit I would bet you are not hitting your caloric/nutrient goals.

Why don't you open up your diary. All the sweets maybe adding up to a lot of carbs and calories

It's the fruit. Try not eating fruit and starchy carbs within 3 hours prior to your cardio workout.

Thanks for the tips. I just started MFP today and opened up up my tracking diary. I now know my calorie intake and calories needed. I think this will help me alot. !

If you are truly eating right, monitoring your calories and exercising with enough effort to lose weight and nothing is happening, then you need to see a doctor and have your thyroid tested.

Without being able to see your diary it is hard to say. You may be eating too many calories. Are you measuring your foods? Are you eating foods that contain a lot of sodium? You also want to cut down on the fruits they contain a lot of sugar.

I'm a big fruit fan, but i will defiantly cut down on them
