I am not dropping any friggin weight!!

you may have answered your own question... you feel stronger... you may have transfered your fat into muscle... which is a good thing. the more muscle you have the more calories you burn... keep at it and the scales will reward you. maybe try measuring your body (hips, chest, neck, thighs)... you may be losing there and toning up, but the scales stay or go the other way.

I would suggest measuring yourself. You may not see the scale number drop because you are actually gaining muscle which weighs more than fat. I've found that the best way to track your progress when you are working out as much as you are is to take weekly or bi-weekly measurements and watch those inches drop. I usually measure my neck, right under my armpits, my chest., waist, hips, etc. The number on the scale may increase or stay the same but you are actually converting that fat in to muscle and loosing inches. Keep your head up and try to measure instead of watching the scale. You may end up feeling better with these results. Good luck!

with your food diary closed it's hard to tell what you are doing

Questions for you :

Are you drinking your water? At least 1/2 your body weight in water
Are you tracking your sodium? If you think you are doing well by eating at places like subway you may be over eating sodium (even if you don't add it to food)
Are you eating your exercise calories? Or are you starving yourself thereby shutting down your metabolism.

All factors to consider

Also, make sure that you are honestly and accurately logging your food and perhaps get a heart rate monitor.

if you eat back your calories, but are basing it on what the machine says you burned - you may be over eating. My gym's machines regularly tell me I burned 200-300 more calories than my HRM (which I have found to be very accurate) tells me I have. Were I eating that back (accidentally eating more than I really burned) and only on a 500 cal deficit, that would mean I was now at a 200 cal deficit and if I forgot that mini snickers and took a bit off my son's McDonald's hamburger because I didn't want to eat a whole one myself... well... then I wouldn't be losing at all!

Good luck and stick with it!

Just today I gained 3 lbs overnite, so I thought it might be bloating. So, I don't really know right now. Question can someone break down this half my body weight water intake. So 2 liters is not enough?

You can't gain 3 lbs overnight (meaning "gain" is the wrong word to use). To do so, you would have to have eaten 105,000 calories yesterday and not excreted ANY of it (rather ALL of it gone to muscle and/or fat. It's likely water weight or other ... um... excrements... still in your body that are not really part of your "weight".

Your weight will fluctuate day to day just based on what you ate, when you last peed, how much salt is in your body, TOM, etc. That's why, "they" say not to weigh yourself daily or if you do, to take it with a grain of salt as not your "weight" necessarily, but rather pick a weekly time that is consistent (ie, Tuesday mornings after using the bathroom, but before showering) to have a better picture.

Regarding the water - "they" also say 1oz per 2lbs of weight. Or, take your weight and divide by 2 and that's the # of ounces you should drink. 2L would be about 134lb person. So it might not be enough (at least for maximum flushing and weight loss). Plus, drink more if it's hot or your are exercising. I don't get nearly as much water as I should in the winter because my house is cold and I dont like to drink it because it makes me colder, plus, it's freezing to go to the bathroom :laugh: but I should drink more. I usually only drink about 6 cups in the winter which is pretty awful. Even though I am thirsty. I should be drinking closer to 10 cups.

FYI, that should have ready 10500 calories not 105000, "that's a big twinkie".

I have weight twice one morning just a hour or so apart and my first weight was 2 pounds heavier than my second.... the scale will drive you nuts--- I'm a little obsessive about it, so I have made a rule that I will only do an official weigh in once a week at the most and that it will be at the same time/same conditions each time-- that may help you.
