WHAT THE F%*K!!!!!!!!!

First of all take a deep breath. Do you only go by the scale or do you take your body measurements as well? As your body gains muscle and loses the fat the scale may not change and it may even go up a little bit. This is because muscle is heavier than fat. If you don't measure yourself maybe you should start. You may see that the weight stays the same but that your clothes start to fit looser. Whatever you do don't give up!!

How long have you increased your calories? How long has it been since you lost weight? If it's been more than 4 weeks, it's time to change something up, if it hasn't keep doing what you're doing and be patient, weight loss takes time. Going back the last couple days you're eating a good amount but your sodium is through the roof, work on dropping that down and eating natural whole foods.

PORKY !!!!! remain calm, we are with u all the way !!!!!!!!

are you eating the recommended daily calories, protein, carbs, fat from your myfitnesspal? you need to eat no less than that amount for your body to start losing anything. if you don't eat enough your body will go into starvation mode. it doesn't matter if you are overweight, starvation mode starts kicking in if you aren't eating enough. i know this because it is the same problem I have had. I don't take in enough calories and then I wonder why I am having such problems with weight loss. gotta keep up at exactly the recommended calories and carbs while doing cardio to see any results. eating less isn't going to help you lose weight. it is eating right. also take into account your age. I know that it takes longer for me to lose weight than it used to 7 years ago.

Don't panic!! Remember this is about the journey and something you are doing FOR yourself and not TO yourself. Maybe its time to switch something up like eating less sodium or cutting 100 calories or something like that. Not time to panic. Stepping away from the cheeseburger was a good idea-you would only feel worse!

We've all been there, done that.

Besides what others have suggested of watching your sodium intake and drinking more water- STRESS also makes us gain weight.

Not sure how much you're trying to lose- if it's a small amount like 5 or 10 those can be more difficult that someone trying to lose 50 like myself.

Just remember, it took some time for it to come on- it will take time for it to come off.

Perfrectly said - there are times I'm weighing myself & there is no change, but I can feel a BIG differnece in my clothes. I took meaasurements last week for the first time, I'll take them again next week (a 2 week interval) to see what's what. Bottom line is I know my clothes are fitting better (getting close to dropping a pants size) & I'm feeling a whole lot better. I feel stronger, & ultimately better health is what I'm looking for - not a # on the scale. Stay the course, one thing that's helped is balancing out my eating over the day. When I was basically at 3 meals I was eating a lot at each meal & a lot of that would not get burned. Now I'm eating less at each meal & having some snacks over the course of the day - relatively healthy stuff, especially compared to what I used to eat. I find I'm eating a lot less at mealttime & n ot going back for seconds. I get a little hungry during the day, but nothing intolerable - I don't feel starved or that I'm depriving myself. Don't be discouraged, you'll hit these plateaus & all of a sudden you'll have a big drop. Keep in mind you may have weighed yourself while your body is holding excess water too, wait a few days & check it again.....

you might want to look at the amount of fkn sodium in your diet....

Sorry but I agree with the above. There are very few days you are actually under sodium. You eat a lot of processed foods that are full of sodium. One day you were over your sodium by more than 4000 mg. You are consuming far too much sodium and unless you track it differently you are not consuming anywhere close to the amount of water you should be.

Also, do you not eat dinner? You never have anything logged for a dinner or evening meal.

Are you properly tracking? Properly measuring foods? Logging everything?

If so, lower the sodium... lower the processed foods.. get more lean meats, fresh veggies and fruits and drink more water.

Sorry but this is false.. You will not gain muscle on a calorie deficit. You need a surplus of calories to build muscle along with more than enough protein (which the OP is not getting enough of) along with lifting HEAVY weights. You don't just build muscle when you begin to exercise... it is a very hard thing to do.

Sent a message about what works for me hope it helps

Eat your calories, your weight loss is already built in. Everyone who says this I find it's because they don't eat their calories. I don't believe in "starvation mode" but I sure believe in eat more to weigh less.

Here's my advise (although it might not be the best).
Go to the the fast food place with your daughter order the fkn burger and enjoy it (guilt free), talk, laugh & enjoy each others company.
Then when you are finished and you've enjoyed your meal do your exercise like you normally would and while your exercising think how nice it was enjoying your time/laughs with your daughter and keep reminding yourself that by getting fit and healthier you will be able to enjoy more laughs and good time more often with your daughter.

Some food for thought: 1 fkn burger is not going to kill you but from the sound of it, it might stop you from killing someone else!! :glasses:

THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you're eating a healthy diet 90% of the time, the occasional burger is NOT going to hurt you. Keep in mind that every step you take when you exercise is another step towards success. There WILL be days where the scale doesn't budge, or it moves in the wrong direction. It's OK. The weight didn't magically appear in one month - it will take time for the scale to go down.

If you're interested, shoot me an email and I would be happy to share some of the things that are working for me.

WOOOOOSAAAAHHHHHH! In with the good air...out with the bad! yes, breathe and give yourself a break. Personally, my favorite way was kickboxing, and a really good punching bag - just be careful and use gloves to protect your knuckles - bag burn hurts! Stop buying food that your daughter can eat and you can't. You are teaching her to eat the junk that you know you don't want in your body. Yes, i know it is easier, faster, and makes them happy, but what good is it doing for you. Take time to prepare home made meals, from scratch, where you KNOW what is going into the food you are feuling your body with. It does not take a lot of time. I know it seems difficult, especially being a parent (single or not), working and going to school. I have been there, done that. You could spend a couple of hours prepping for the week and, based on other's comments, save yourself a lot of unneecessary calories and sodium. (I have put in a friend request - so until you accept I can't see your diary). I know it works, it did for me before I regained all of it going back to processed food and eating out.
