    i started taking my weight loss serious in september, at 246 pounds. started out just doing cardio with low calorie diet, i was losing about 1-1 and 1/2 pound a week the first 6 weeks, then i added in lifing weights along with cardio, and the weight is honestly just melting off now... i eat a healthy diet, and im at the gym 5 days a week for about an hour and a half. add weight lifting to your cardio routin, i bet youll see great results. also, this is just me, but i dont eat my excercise calories back, i have no desire.

    Could be too many calories, or too few. Could be too many carbs, or too few. Could be not enough protein, too much high sodium/low nutrient processed food. Could be you aren't being careful enough with your portions (do you use a scale?). Could be the results you expect aren't going to happen from the exercise you are doing (try switching up your cardio and adding some weight training in). Don't give up, that won't get you anywhere.

    also, i just want to add, that if you do eat back your excercise calories, its a good idea to have a good hrm that shows calories burned. yesterday, at the gym with my aunt, she actually burned 400-ish calories for 40 minutes on the elliptical, but when she entered it into mfp, it gave her 700-ish calories... so thats a big difference, and could explain alot for those who eat back thier excercise calories without an accurate number!
