    I find it hard to believe you do that much exercise EVERY day and eat that little EVERY day as otherwise yes the weight would be falling off you. Also you'd be completely and utterly exhausted. Are you sure you don't do it like 3 days in a row and then absolutely crack and eat like a loaf of bread without even realising it?
    Maybe the smart thing would be to keep eating the low calorie but stop exercise altogether for a week or two, just to give your body a rest and reevaluate the situation after youv'e done that. Hell, you're not losing weight anyway so why bother doing all that work? take a break!

    Maybe the smart thing would be for you to stop enterpreting things and giving advices without actually knowing what you are talking about?
    She is not eating enough - purposely and unconsciously hurting herself and all she needs (amongst others on this post) is to learn and possibly see a doctor or 2!

    another thing is if you are doing classes you've done a lot of is if your body is used to the workouts you;re doing definitely you won't be burning as much as you might were you new to the class.

    Also-have you had someone check your fat %...? Muscle mass?

    Growing up I had a friend who was a gymnast and she had a high BMI, but that meant nothing because she was solid as a rock.

    I mean...I'm looking at your picture now and you look very fit...BMI is not the be-all and end-all of fitness...seriously.

    First off, universities will likely have kit for research and general teaching.
    However, you'll probably have to find some running an appropriate experiment that you can be involved in.

    Otherwise, I have a newleaf machine and ... I just checked and their locator thing isn't working.
    This is the website, which directs to a UK website - www.newleaffitness.com
    You could try contacting the new company and asking if they have details of people in your area.

    I'll try find somewhere I can do the metabolism test tho I'm not holding my breath for the area I live in..
    I'm fit just fat too MSeel so even tho I have some muscle I also have the fat to get rid of.

    Think I'll start with seeing a nutritionist/dietician, keep exercising and stay healthy. Thanks all for taking the time to reply and give me some good advice, much appreciated!

    Do a google search for BMR, RMR, or metabolic testing and your state/area. I think they run around $100 a test. Not cheap by any means, but you are probably spending quite a bit on your food packs. It could me more cost effective to get tested and talk to a nutritionist about setting up a meal plan using regular food in the long run.

    I am not an expert but i started my fat loss 70lbs ago and hit a few plateaus along the way. What i think is that you are eating too little and what you are eating is probably so far from natural foods that your body may not have clue 1 how to use what your feeding it.

    What has worked for me in the past is use a bmr calculator to see just how many calories your body needs to survive in a comatose state. Then eat at or slightly above that for a few days or even a couple weeks and watch the pounds melt away. Probably not as fast as you want but they will go away. Starving yourself causes your body to go into a canibalistic state eating the same muscle tissue that you are trying to build into a fat burning machine. i have read that the body will eat itself and turn the food you do eat into fat stores for when there is absolutely nothing else left to take.

    It seems counterproductive to eat more food to loose more weight but it legitimately works. In my opinion a good nutritionist would be a much better use of your hard earned money than a metabolism check.
