    Now who has time for 3-4 hrs of cardio??? Keep on doing what you are doing, relax and try not to have heaps of carbs in the evening. It will happen ... don't lose sight of the bigger picture ... slow and consistent does it.

    Yeah I try to get at least 20% of my calories from exercise. If you don't you will close the anabolic window and go into starvation mode.

    My husband and I in deep thought decided to share the best weight loss secret!
    Sharing this is now no longer a secret....
    But it will help you and your wife :)
    Drink nothing but lemon water for three days,
    Then try the cat food diet,
    Or there is always the school lunch diet,
    Since pizza is a government approved food you might try the pizza and ice cream diet too.... Lots of nutrition!
    Good luck to you
    Remember that weight loss is 80% nutrition & 20% exercise
    So the gym is not a big deal :) go 20% of the time :smile:

    So...YOU'RE the one that entered cat food in the database! I've been wondering....:laugh:

    I'm pretty sure you are in starvation mode.

    You said you worked out several hours?

    Did you fit in a gym meal?

    You should have at least had 1 scoop of Ice cream.

    If you don't get enough protein and fats during your workout you could fall out!

    You are probably lucky you are still alive!

    I promise if you eat during your time in the gym (at least one full meal and a snack) the fat will just melt away!

    Oh, and how is your TDEE and HRM set? I have heard that if they are too low you will gain weight. Polar HRM's will help you burn more calories. Don't worry about the food you shovel in your face, just log a healthy diet and the weight will fall off.

    You're doing fine. Muscle weighs more than fat and it sounds like you probably built a lot of muscle with your workout yesterday. What you need to do is lower the resistance on the elliptical way down so you don't stimulate so much muscle growth next time. You don't want to get all bulky

    Sounds like you should try daily enemas of black coffee, raspberry ketones and a shot of tequila

    Stop hopping on the scale every 8 seconds, yo. Take some laxatives. You'll be all right.

    You've replaced your fat cells with muscle, that means your weight stays the same. Just make sure to eat less than calories than you exercise off in the gym and your onto a winner. :glasses:

    Yup. Take measurements. You probably lost inches.

    So I started my diet after lunch today. I ate a healthy dinner and then went to the gym afterwards. I weighed myself when I got home and I'm the same as this morning. This is extremely frustrating and demotivating! Should I go back to the gym and work out some more? This is taking way too long, I feel like giving up. What should I do!??!?!
    LAUGH :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    Hello, Ron here. STOP WEIGHING YOURSELF everyday. Commit to diet and exercise and be consistent. It should be about being healthy and living a healthy lifestyle. I get depressed and discouraged when I weigh myself all the time wanting instant results. I've decided to only weigh in once every 10 weeks. I suggest to NOT weigh yourself more than once a week.

    ^^^^^THIS x100000!

    You totally built up some serious muscle at the gym yesterday! If you want to see an immediate loss, you should stop working out!

    You clearly have hit a plateau and are overtraining. I'm guessing you were feeling sore, tired and lethargic after all that working out, right? Yes, take at least 2 weeks off and let your body recover. You will lose at least 15 pounds during that time.

    This explains so much. What if you alternate catfood and pizza/ice cream? That has to be the best diet scenario ever! Thanks to you and your husband. You may have just saved my marriage!

    What do you expect...a pound of muscle weighs more than a pound of fat..2 hours at the gym you probably converted a few pounds of fat to muscle! Also, try the Chicken nuggets at McDonald's...

    It may be that you just need to drink more water....if you are retaining water you actually need to drink more water to lose the water weight. And not sure if you drink regular sodas or anything like that but that has "alot" of calories I found out myself. I had to make the switch from regular sodas to Coke Zero's or Fuze Diet Lemon Ice Teas. That seemed to help alot. I agree with whoever mentioned the Raspberry Ketones but I would say that you should get them in the Pure form from a health food store rather than like a dept store. I haven't had much luck with the walmart ones but when I get the liquid Rasp Ketones from the health food store that seems to help lots. And just hang in there it's a slow process and your weight will fluctuate alot from one day to another day.

    WOOOOOOOOSH. Right over the head.

    Are you serious right now!!! You didn't gain that weight over night you sure aint gonna lose it over night. It will take time. Also you should only weigh in once a week on the same day and around the same time each week. Its best to weigh in the morning before you put anything on your stomach so you can a truly accurate weigh-in. You have to give it time. IN addition working out can cause weight gain if you are strength training b/c muscles weigh more than pounds but as long as you see your inches decreasing then you are doing exactly what you need to do!

    Give it time, it will seem like it happened over night soon!

    Consistency is the Key to true weight loss success!! Good luck!

    Is the catfood in the database a specific brand?
