Six months...no change.

Hun honestly you been logging in and been here for 6 months but you haven't been taking it serious for 6 months your more so off then on you need to really sit there and take one month serious and then see what happens no cheating then decide from there

I usually liked working out because I would get an endorphin rush, which felt great. And even days where that didn't happen...well, I had a sense of accomplishment that felt pretty good, too. One thing that helped me was, I would take my smart phone and watch videos on YouTube or hulu. Helped the time to go faster.

If u really want to see change you have to fully commit. Daily logging. Log every bite you eat. Commit to an exercise regimen. Motivated or not, DO IT. Doing it half-@s$ed won't get the results you are looking for.

Find something that is a work out but doesn't feel like a work out. Do you like dancing? Then maybe zumba is more your thing that say running. Use everything to help you gain that extra calorie burn. Park at the back of the parking lot. If you are close enough to walk, get up early 1 or 2 days a week and walk to work instead of driving.

I would also get that thyroid thing checked out, because if it is a problem then you won't be losing anything. I would get that checked out asap.

And also, I agree with mock...log log log. You will be suprise when you see those numbers in front of you.

I don't think you can get accurate advice if you aren't logging every single day and tracking every bite. You can't cheat on this, and you have to stick to it. Share the information, it will help you!

maybe you should try AEROBIC ?
its much better than running or working out at gym and sweating as hell! At least for me, I am also just a beginner But i love the trill and the thought after sweating for an hour with 30 people i have no idea who they are but it gives me motivation. as I see them exercising and although I am totally tired I don`t give up because come on how would it look like : )
thats why i love it

Are you tracking your calories? With your food diary, are you weighing/measuring food or just guessing? Fat loss is mostly about what you eat and good portion control, exercise is what's necessary to keep your body healthy and have good body composition, and exercise is important for everyone, not just people who are trying to lose weight. You need to eat less than you burn off to lose fat, about 15-30% less. Too much less and you're just torturing yourself and setting yourself up for rebound fat gain. But you still have to eat less than you burn off to lose fat. If you're not tracking what you eat carefully, then what can happen is you work out hard, but then eat back your deficit so you end up eating the same as you burned off, and not losing any fat.

Also, are you just tracking your weight, or are you tracking other changes, such as loss of inches and your clothes becoming loose? Sometimes with beginners at weight training, you can lose fat and gain muscle, so your weight stays the same, but you get thinner, because muscle is denser than fat.

Another important thing with regards to exercise, is that you should enjoy it. Otherwise you're just torturing yourself. Weight training or other exercise that exerts the muscles very hard is important, but you don't have to actually go to a gym and lift actual weights. You can do bodyweight exercises at home (e.g. push-ups and similar) to maintain your lean body mass, and it's also important to just be more active generally, so all kinds of activities like walking, cycling, regularly taking the stairs instead of the lift, whatever exercise or physical activities that you enjoy, it all adds up. Combine that with eating less than you burn off and you should start to see the fat coming off slowly and steadily. there's a thread called "in place of a road map" which tells you how to calculate how much you're burning off each day, so you can calculate how much you burn off each day, and from that calculate how many calories to eat each day so you can lose fat without having to starve yourself.

If you have a thyroid issue nothing will help until you get it regulated usually that means thyroid replacement hormones...also avoid soy like the plague. When you start seeing huge changes it seems to be more motivating.

I would test soy out some to see if you like it before you avoid it. I have thyroid issues and have gone through replacement therapy, and I love and consume soy often because I'm semi-lactose intolerant. Everyone is different.

Also, have you ever been checked for PCOS? I was just diagnosed and now know how to explain some of the pain and discomfort I've had since I was in elementary school. It tends to be something that women who have a really hard time losing weight have because it messes with their hormones. I'm doing so much better on the meds they gave me for it.


Actually it is a proven fact to mess with thyroid hormones even worse, def something to do your research on...one does not feel the effects immediately but it's something over time as soy blocks iodine and thyroids need that iodine. Personally, I would not eat a kickoff it while figuring out thyroid issues as it could be causing the issues.

You can always message me.
