Dear all,
I am 5´8" and have 140 lbs.
I work out every day, and I need to eat about 1500 calories per day, but most of the time I eat under my calorie goal. I think it's weird that even tough I eat „perfect“ and I try carefully not to gain extra pounds I still can't achieve anything. Sometimes I weight more than 140 lbs, don't know how that is possible, but it is. I work hard (Turbofire program, I'm in the 15th week out of 20 weeks) track my food, and there are no results. What am I doing wrong? Ok, there are some changes im my measures, I lose 7 cm in my waist, have nice leg muscles, and my arms are little bit shaped, but that are not the results I was hoping for… Before Turbofire program, I worked Jillian Michaels 30 day shred (about 3 weeks) Hip hop abs (whole program) and Beachbody Insanity (2 weeks).
Anyways I hope I'll get some awesome suggestions from you guys, and I'll do my best to be a good member of this group. Looking forward to chat with all of you guys, you seem awesome

Hi tajalambara!

I am also 5'8" and have about 100 pounds to lose. Its not easy, but it is definetely possible. It sounds like you are doing everything right and are really working on losing weight. The only thing I can think to suggest would maybe be to watch your portions..? I know for me, it wasnt until I went onto this site that I learned the importance of portion control and learned how to compromise my daily calorie limits. Also , maybe avoid anything too salty or heavy. That may help you avoid gaining the water weight.

Good luck to you
