I have been working my butt off - walking an hour Monday, Tues, Wed, & Thurs, doing the 30 Day Shred EVERY day (I'm on day 9) and every Thursday I also work out with a group (so that's 2 hours of working out on Thursdays! I stay within my calories and don't eat my exercise calories back - I have went up and back down adjusting my calories and nothing is working - I am just losing and gaining the same 0.4 pounds (or ounces) BUT I think my problem is my sodium intake - so I am going to try and NOT go over on my sodium next week and TRY not to weigh but once a week (instead of every morning) and see what happens!

I have to eat back my exercise calories or the scale doesn't move. MAKE SURE the exercise calories you eat back are healthy!!0

Yes... sodium intake can really inhibit weight loss. I also realized that when I wasn't losing at first. I really tried to keep track on MFP and have found that the less sodium I eat, not only do I lose weight but I also feel so much better.
If you're doing that much working out, you're definitely making a difference. Don't make it all about the scale... feel your body, feel the difference in your energy level and allow yourself to breathe.

Try eating your exercise calories. You're doing a LOT of exercise and you don't want to stress your body more than you need to do.
How long did you try the different calorie levels? It takes about a month to really know if something is working.0 -
If you aren't eating back your exercise calories then you are not achieving your goals. If you're not achieving your goals, then why would you expect to succeed? Achieving your goals = success...start achieving your goals.0
