I need help, seriously

Ok... Step one, take a deep breath....you will be ok...you will succeed.
Step two look at your food diary and be honest with yourself, did you write down everything honestly.
Step three, go see your doctor and make sure your thyroid is working correctly as well any other tests they may recommend. If everything checks out my suggestion is you print out your diary for the last few weeks and go see a nutritionist and see what changes they might recommend. I go to one every three weeks to make sure I don't get discouraged and work on a plan. Most importantly, don't give up on yourself....maybe it's water weight or sodium consumption and it will come off. I was 265 at my heaviest and thought I would never get past 221. I believed that was my "natural" weight. Once I decided to not give up it came off faster at times and sometimes I plateau for a couple of weeks at a time but DON'T GIVE UP!

Open your diary, log regularly, make some friends, be a part of the MFP community, join a challenge! You can do it!

Girl, you can do it!! I am about 5'6" and started at 220lbs. Didn't lose it overnight but with consistency...hey, I've accomplished something. Need some motivation? I log daily and have an open diary...if you'd like send me a FR

I've fought with my weight my entire life. A year ago I had managed to get down to 185 at 5'6'' as a pear shape and I was super excited. My goal was 175, but then I turned 21. I have stress/depression issues and alcohol always helped with that, but I started drinking everyday, all day. I gained 60lbs in a year. I just turned 22 and started my newest diet at 235lbs. I started halfway in August. I completely changed my diet to lean meats, fish, salads, and spinach/kale shakes, and pretty much gave up alcohol completely. I work out from Friday through Monday, an hour to an hour and a half each day. Tuesday-Thursday is optional as long as I get into the gym at least once for an hour.
It's been almost 3 months and I was excited last week because I had lost 10lbs putting me at 225, but I checked my weight this morning and it says I gained another 3. I don't know what to do. I want to lose weight so badly, but it's like I just can't. I've tried 6 different diet pills and take a multivitamin each morning. I'm not lazy or live a sedentary lifestyle, I run around schools and parks all day. It's not a lack of eating or overeating. I can't just give up, but I can't keep going like this with no results. What should I do?

Sorry for the long post

Well, if your working out as much as you claim you might have put on some muscle which is a good thing. Its already been brought up by other people but fluctuations in water weight could have also been a factor in your three pound gain. Also, diet pills are going to do nothing but take money out of your pocket.

Actually I'm on board with weighing yourself everyday at the same time until you learn your bodies natural fluctuations. You will start noticing patterns throughout the week when it comes to your food intake and surprisingly workout routines. You would be suprised your fluctuation in just water weight the day of/day after/ and two days after a certain workout if you keep everything else constant.

I have a pattern my body goes through during a week cycle where I can fluctuate in weight anywhere between 5-8 pounds but the days I see the fluctuations are always consistent if I keep my food/water/workout regimen the same. If there is inconsistently than I can almost always look back at my food journals and see where a day or so I'm really high with sodium or did a poor job keeping myself hydrated or broke my weekly routine.

This is separate than weight loss, its just noticing the patterns in your bodies fluctuations. I only look at weight loss in terms of comparing the same day every week. Like Friday is weigh in day for me. I don't really consider any other days weight in the weight loss/gain because my bodies fluctuates so much that I could never compare a Monday to a Friday and see a reliable figure.

In short, don't worry about 3 pounds. If you are as dilligent as you say you are ten there is no way you over consumed by 10,500 calories over your maintenance. But just keep in mind that you have to create a net deficiet of 10,500 for the same 3 pound loss so patience and consistency is the name if the game here. Just keep your head down and stay focused for the long run.
