been 5 months and only lost 4 pounds?

Have you try running?

Are you weighing and measuring everything you eat? Counting every sauce and cooking oil? Logging every bite of food? If you aren't losing weight at a pace you'd like, your calories are too high. BMR estimates from an online calculator are just that, estimates.

Just my opinion.

Cant help much as your diary is not open.

As suggested, morning and afternoon snacks might help, Babybell cheese is perfect

I'm new to myfitnesspal but have been a long term Weight Watchers attendee and lost 46 pounds. I have two thoughts to add from what I have learned from attending WW. You may be exercising so much and not taking in enough food so your body is thinking it is in starvation mode. You might actually try for one week to eat more protein, veggies, and fruit. Eating more was often a suggestion at WW when someone was exercising every day and not losing. If you are nervous about eating more (something that was often talked about at WW meetings) try another suggestion, keeping your calorie level the same just be sure to eat protein for breakfast. This helps to kick in your metabolism first thing in the morning. I would also recommmend that you drink cold water over luke warm. Cold water causes your body to work hard to warm it up and helps kick in your metabolism as well. You might also do well to have a 50-100 calorie snack at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Think yogurt, applesauce, carrotts, fruit. This also will keep your metabolism working all day.

Remember that the scale is only one indicator of your success. The fact that you feel stronger when exercising and you are seeing your body change are all fabulous results...in time the weight to will come off and the clothes sizes will go down in time. Think of this as a change in lifestyle and not merely a diet. You are taking care of yourself.

To stay motivated, consider treating yourself once a month to something special (not a food treat) as a reward for sticking with your new food program. New sneakers, exercise clothes, special dvd, a message.

While the intent is good at weight watchers, most of this information isn't really true. Your metabolism is always working. If it's not breaking down food, it's running your vital organs. So in fact, breakfast does nothing from a weight loss perspect. It's more physiological as many people will splurge less when they have a good breakfast. Also, your body has no clock and the Termal Effect of Food will be equal within a 24 hr period regardless if you eat them in 6 small meals throughout a day or all at once. And drinking cold water might help you burn 5 extra calories throughout a whole day. More than likely, the OP is under eating like you suggested. And while she will not experience starvation mode since she is regularly eating, there are hormones - such as cortisol - that will prevent weight loss by adding additonal water to the body as a famine response.

Well, I'm 5'5 and 146 lbs, and I was 143 a few months ago. I'm smaller and more defined now though. I eat 2200 calories a day, strength train with 15lb dumbbells 2-4 times a week and do 1-2 hours elliptical or step a week as well. I eat plenty of varied food including cake, chocolate and stuff.
Personally, like others have said already, I too think you're not eating enough.

Based on the amount of exercise you're doing, I also suggest you try upping your calories a bit. Add a couple hundred to your 1400, especially on days you lift. Do you eat back you exercise calories at all? Make sure you're eating back some at the very least.

I have been going with this current plan for the past two & a half months without any weight loss. My weight constantly, daily fluctuates between 155-160. It used to be very easy for me to lose five pounds, I would barely have to try. Now I'm 27 and I wonder if that is the reason it is so hard to lose now. I tried getting on a similar plan last year without any results, and then went to spend a semester abroad in Costa Rica where my food was chosen for me by my host family. It was mainly healthy foods, but I didn't lose any weight, however I wasn't focused on weight loss during that time, either. I have been back home for almost 3 months now, and after Christmas really geared myself towards a healthy lifestyle. I have cut out all unhealthy, processed foods during the week, and only eat clean foods, mostly all natural. On weekends I don't try as hard to eat clean as I spend my weekends with friends who eat mostly junk. Not that I always eat junk with them, I just try not to be the friend who is a pain to go out with. I do drink alcohol with friends during the weekend, but not a huge amount by any means.. last weekend I had the equivalent of maybe 4 (possibly 5) 12 oz beers during a 3 day span. When I am focused on eating clean, I avoid processed carbs, I choose foods low in carbs (I try to get most of my carbs from morning fruits) and high in protein, especially since I have been working out so much. I have been taking SlimQuick pills, something I am ashamed of, but good grief, it has never been this hard to take a little weight off. I would be happy to lose 20 pounds, even though my goal is to lose 30 pounds. It may take years, and I guess overall, that's alright, because I plan to eat natural, healthy food on a regular basis for the rest of my life. It would just be wonderful if I didn't have these rolls of fat around my stomach during the summer months.

I will be sticking to my clean eating on the weekends now, too. Writing that out made me realize how pathetic it is to cheat. I just didn't think it would make such a difference, since it never has before! I have not been tested for thyroid problems, but my grandmother had problems with hers. I have inherited her body shape, maybe I have inherited her thyroid problems as well. Perhaps I should have a test done...
