ITS OFFICIAL IM GIVING UP!!!

Okay?

I have been on this journey since January 2013 I have joined Planet Fitness I go there about 6 days a week for anywhere from 30 to 45 minutes a day I make sure i eat smaller portions I eat alot of chicken, fish and salads daily I recently joined a fit club where they do exercise classes and i have been doing that 3-4 days a week because I didnt know if my body was tried of the routines I was doing at the gym and still absolutely no results. I dont notice I change in my clothes or a change in the number on the scale. I drink 64 ounces of water a day which is good for me because all my life i never drank water, In the beggining I lost 14 lbs and in the last 4 months everytime i weigh in Im gaining that back, I know people say "maybe your gaining muscle" but is it possible to be gaining muscle for all these months and NO RESULTS im fed up, you would think that in 9 months I would have lost more than just 14 lbs sorry for venting out but im disgusted and discouraged.

6 days of 30 minutes is cardio is not very much. why not try 3 days of cardio, each for a longer duration? that'll avoid the risk overtraining. trying to do too much too often can muck up your hormones (apparently).

also, changing what you eat without changing how much you eat is a recipe for disaster.

don't listen to the idiots. 80% of people don't have a _ _ _ _ _ _ _ clue how to lose weight. they will tell you to eat clean, or cut out carbs, or cut out gluten, or whatever... that's all nonsense.

count calories ACCURATELY. don't cheat. don't lie to yourself. don't guesstimate. weigh and measure everything. so long as your calories in < calories out, you'll start losing weight again.

You CanNot out train a poor diet..end of story

well, you have no willpower
you suck.

I'd also say to exercise for longer less often. Almost every day might be making it seem too much effort. Why not switch to the regime you expect to be able to keep up forever for a while rather than putting so much into it all at once?

you will never be what you what to be by giving up!

don't give up..... 14 lbs is a lot actually... It's tough but you're tougher. I've been exercising and watching my calories since Jan 2013 and only lost 8 lbs!! (I'm also 50 and my metabolism has slowed alot!)....
you're doing a great job with switching you routine.. just keep it up and don't look at the scale.

I agree, you need to weigh & measure everything, maybe you are eating salads, but maybe you're using 2-3 serving of dressing, maybe you are eating fish & chicken but maybe you're eating more than 3-4oz, start there. And make sure you log everything you eat and DRINK, because everything except water has calories. Next thing, if you haven't already done so, invest in a hr monitor, so that you can really see how many calories you are burning. You may realize in doing all of this that you are really not staying under your calories. Try that before you quit. Also ask yourself is this a lifestyle change or just another diet. If you decide that it's just another diet, then sure you will eventually quit when you don't get the results you want, but when you've committed to a lifestyle change, this is a new way of eating, of thinking, of living, it's not something you can just quit.

I haven't lost anything in four years.

Boo hoo to you.

Oh, good. You're increasing your odds then. 100% of people who quit, fail at life.
