Totally discouraged at this point

I gained 7 pounds before my period and I thought it was just water weight, but I'm done and it hasn't gone down and I gained .5 on my inches. It's irritating because I work my butt off and eat very healthy and it's demtivating

    im on Attempt 7
    I can eat healthy and bust my *kitten* with zero fat loss...the only way I've lost 5lbs is getting sick and eating only 500 cals a day

    Maybe your salt intake is to high? Can't see your diary so it's hard to tell.

    If that's you in your picture, why are you trying to lose another 15lbs?

    Are you eating enough, because your body will go into starvation mode and you won't lose any weight.

    You're probably not eating enough, so you messed up your metabolism.

    Absolutely true. Make sure your calorie intake and your activity level are matching. If you are working out a lot you might actually need more calories.

    Didn't you just post a thread about snacking may be killing you? What are your calories set to? Are you logging everything?

    That is what I am thinking. Why would anyone want to eat 500 calories a day. I would hope you are eating at least 1200 a day. You want to be healthy. You have to eat and work out the way you can for LIFE! If you do the short cuts now and can't live with them. You will gain the weight back and then some.

    Open your diary so we can see what your intakes are - without seeing what you are consuming, can't make a comment.

    I am sorry to hear this. We have all been there. Dont give up you can achieve your goals. We all go through this. The ups and downs, my friends call it yo yo dieting. I tend to do well in and excercise in the winter then blow it in the summer. BBQ's and a couple of drinks. I do it every year. Dont give up you are so not alone.
