A little frustrated with myself

How many calories are you eating? I know when I don't fuel my body enough, my workouts struggle. Also, can you open your diary so we can evaluate. Do you have any food pre workout?

I think I eat about 1300- 1500 a day, and I don't know how to open my diary I'm sorry I just figured out how to do the little graph thing lol. I don't usually eat before my workout because I do it right when I wake up before the kids get up but I do eat after.

What is your height weight age? Do you have a sedentary job or active job? Also, since you stated you think you eat about 1300-1500 calories, I assume you do not have a food scale? If not, you should as it's a critical tool to ensure accuracy.


To open your diary.. go to home <-- Settings <--- Diary Settings <-- make public (bottom of screen)

Hi...How long has this been going on? It could be your body telling you to change up or rest...I would suggest that you take a week off and do something else...walk, run, etc and then come back to it. No need to stop altogether but could be the muscles you use in your workouts just need a change of pace.

I am 5'4 and I now weigh 195, I am a stay at home mom but I do stay very busy, I walk to kids back a forth to school 30 mins total in the morning and after school. And honestly I have never heard of a food scale where can you get one? And I will go open my diary.

You can get a food scale form Amazon or at your local store. I have the ozeri one and love it. They are like $20. Second, you really need to be more consistent with your logging. This is the only way to ensure success. Third, I suspect you are struggling with your workouts because you are starving yourself. 1100 calorie is not enough for a SAHM and one who is exercising. Based on your stats, a goal of 1800 calories would be much more beneficial. I would also recommend setting macros around 40% carbs, 30% protein and 30% fats. Protein will help with satiety and muscle retention while fats are just very healthy for you and improve satiety.

You can do a custom set up by going to home<--- goals <--- change goals<-- custom


I would definitely try to eat around 1600 calories for a few days to see if that helps. But busy mom + exercise = huge calorie burner. Short of a metabolic condition or other medical condition, then you wont' gain new fat until you surpass 2200+ calories a day. I suggest a food scale to ensure accuracy.
