I've been tracking food and exercise and would say 80% of the time I'm under my calorie intake. I have a physical job and i workout, more cardio than weights, and I still don't lose weight. If i lose 2 lbs I gain it back the next day. I feel good, strong and energy levels are good, but I just can't shed the pounds. I haven't given up, but it's getting harder not to

  • How long have you been on this plateau? Have you tried changing your calorie intake or workout, or have you kept to the same program? My body plateaus if I don't change up my workout every once in a while.

    also don't weigh yourself daily- you're bound to fluctuate on a day to day basis- try weighing yourself weekly/fortnightly to properly see the results (make sure when you weigh yourself you do it at the same time of day each week after the same amount of food, similar clothes etc). But as long as you know you're being healthy and working out, then even if you're not losing weight physically, your hard work will be having a positive effect on your body so don't give up! xxx
