ok ok ok ok! So I've been super strict with Fitness Pal and my Body Bug. I have been logging and working out like a mad person since Christmas.. I HAVEN'T LOST A POUND!!!
I am so confused!!!! Should I eat more then it tells me too? Work out even more? I burn about 900 cals. on avg with my workouts! The only thing I can think of is to add more protein? I have done this but still nothing??
Any help would be awesome!

Ps. I juice and eat a healthy diet. I also was a fitness instructor.. LORD HELP ME! maybe I need to teach again!

    How many calories do you net?

    No worries. You could be gaining muscle. Take pictures of yourself from front/side/back if you haven't already. This will show progress along with body measurements more than the scale sometimes. What kind of workouts are you doing and how long?

    Your diary isn't open so its hard to give feedback. I know I was working out crazy and eating healthy for a long time and gaining weight when I ate like pizza or a burger or something. I was "NETTING" too few calories. You need to figure out your TDEE (total daily energy expenditure) and eat no more than 20% less than that.
    For instance, if you are eating 1200 calories a day and burning 900 you are netting only 300. Your body needs more than 300 calories to survive.

    Others will post links with similar info - read it and reread it. very valuable info. Good luck!

    PS My weight is finally starting to come down after eating MORE.

    I know it's hard but this is not about losing pounds and the scale reading less. It is about losing body fat. Make sure you are eating enough to fuel your body. 900 cal per day to burn is a lot of extra food. Do you notice your clothes are fitting differently? Have you taken any measurements so you can compare before and after?

    The old theory of weight loss goes something like this and it's TOTALLY WRONG: The less you eat, the more weight you will lose.
