What am I doing wrong?

If you want experienced people to see what might be wrong, you could open your diary and let people take a look at your food.

Have you lost inches or do you notice that your clothes are looser? It sounds like you could be building some muscle - which weighs more than fat and would definitely effect the scale.

If that's not the case, you might want to consider getting a physical so that your Dr. can help you see better results.

I feel like my weight loss is going nowhere. I started 3 months ago at 246. I weighed myself today at 242. My lowest being 239. I am frustrated :grumble: I feel like I am working out hard, weight training 2-3 times a week, and I'm taking a kickboxing class and a cardio or pilates class once a week. I feel like my eating habits are okay. I have a mishap here and there but otherwise I make good choices and stay under my goal. I don't know where I am going wrong. My weight just isn't budging!

Well, if you are pushing your body harder than you did previously, you are asking it to improve.

Those improvements include weight gain of energy stores, glucose/water.

So good.

But for weight loss to be so little to none while you are gaining that weight, you must be losing fat.

Don't let the scale be the only measurement if you are working out. Measure many body parts since you can't spot reduce, and you want to have a chance to measure where you are losing.

Also confirm you are feeding those workouts good enough.

Hey! I am in the same boat. I have lost about 5-6 lbs in about 2 months. But I did start taking my measurements in the beginning & I'm down about 18 inches. But it is still frustrating to not really see the scale move. I'm just hoping that if I stick with it I will see the scale move sooner rather than later! Hang in there!

If anyone reduces calories enough they will lose weight.

Until such time that an extreme deficit causes metabolism to slow down and you no longer lose weight because you no longer have a deficit. Then you won't lose weight.

So then what, go lower yet?

Blanket statement to reduce calories doesn't really take into account many factors that in fact reducing may make worse.

Thanks all.

I do have my diary open to my friends. I think I might be getting too many carbs, but I do stay under what MFP gives. I just don't think I am choosing the right carbs every time. I love bread and pasta. Way too much. I'll have to work on that. I keep trying to tell myself it's muscle and I do see a little change like in my arms and stuff, and I am feeling a lot stronger. There is just no way that I can't be losing weight..... I will really be watching my bad carb and sugars intake....

Have you had a full checkup and blood panel to eliminate Thyroid disorders, PCOS, Insulin Resistance, Diabetes, etc, etc, etc?
