under 1500 calories, lots of exercise no weight loss

andreachirillo · July 2012

For the last two weeks I have consumed roughly 1500 calories/day. I have burned at least 300 calories a day with running, (sometimes more...6 miles yesterday) boot camp classes or overall weight training. I have not lost any weight! What is going on??

Track your sodium and water intake. I was having the same problem and simply lowered my sodium since Sunday and have lost like 5 lbs in less than a week.

I agree with a few of the posters here!

You also might want to track SUGAR.

In the last 6 days you tracked... I found....
6 days = 10 sweet things (such as candy - didn't count the waffles) & 22 oz of wine

That might be part of the cause.

If you are really working out and exercising as much as you say.. I'd really take a look at the nutrition part.

Are you loosing inches, though? Has your body changed at all?

ETA- oooh, you've only done this for two weeks? Well, don't fret. Eat clean, cut down on the refined sugars and keep at it. This isn't something that can or should happen overnight. Be easy on yourself!

Totally busted. I am pretty addicted to sugar. I might be eating less but not smart...

Thanks for all the help! The sugar is really convicting. You guys called me on that one, thanks for the accountability. Interesting about the alcohol as well...thanks!
