I have been circuit training with a personal trainer 3 days a week for 8 weeks now for an hour and haven't lost a single pound. I am devastated! I have been eating around 1200 - 1800 calories per day (before factoring in the exercise). My trainer will not let me measure to see if I have lost inches until 3 months but I don't feel like I've lost anything and the scale isn' t budging. Very confused about this whole calorie vs net calorie thing. I ONLY eat 1200- 1800(on a bad day, not often) and that is BEFORE figuring in calories burned from JUST the circuit training. I feel cheated. I have put in so much hard work and eaten good unprocessed food with no results. Advice please? I will add that I am overweight and have over 50 lbs to lose so I don't understand why the changes I have made aren't working, or are they?

1200 to 1800 does not seem like enough to eat AT ALL, especially on circuit days. Have you read through the "stickys" Start there, and do the scooby calculators to see what your BMR and TDEE are. I am confused too, but start there and see. Feel free to add me as a friend and we can figure this out together. You are in the right place, there are a ton of people here who can help.0

I will add you thanks for the info! However, what are "stickys" ? :blushing:0 -

Does it say "Stickies" or is that just a nickname for something? I wasn't able to find anything that said Stickies after clicking on Discussion.... I am new to this :sad:0 -
The "stickies" are the threads listed at the top of the EM2WL discussion page. They have the red push-pin at the left of the topic title. They are pinned (stickied) to the top of the discussion page permanently so that new people can locate them easily0
