Not Losing Despite 2-a-day workouts

Muscle weighs more than fat

How do you figure? 1 pound = 1 pound whether it's feathers or bricks!

If I cut one cubic inch of fat and one cubic inch of muscle and weigh them, the muscle will way more.

Muscle does weigh more than fat, just like a fat person does way more than a short slim person.

Weight is the effect of gravity on an object, the denser the object the greater the effect of gravity.

Taking the same weight of two things does not mean they are equal. Losing a pound of fat is a much more noticeable difference than a pound of muscle because so much more of it needs to come off to equal a pound.

The previous poster spoke about weight, which means a pound is always a pound. You are mentioning volume, which is not the same as weight and therefore cannot be compared. It's like comparing apples and green beans. Apart from that you get things mixed up in general.....

So by your reasoning one brick weighs the same same as one feather right?

Dark beer weighs more than light beer.

Thank you!!!! THIS is what I was curious about. I am on CELEXA (for anxiety) and Birth control...I have been wondering if either of these things could be causing me an issue.

As I ALREADY own a digital scale in which I weigh food. I know those are the things that people think I am doing wrong, not weighing, mis-calculating, giving myself too many credits back during my workout, I really am doing what I need to, hence the frustration. I have gone to my doctor who tells me I work out more than anyone he has ever seen to not reep the rewards (I even used to play volleyball with him, so he knows I'm not a sedentary person) I have lost 75 pounds three years ago, so I am not doing anything different now, than when I was able to lose 75 pounds in 6 months at that time. I will be 40 this year, I don't know, does that play a part of slower weight loss? I'm also taking Vitamin D now because I know I have low D.

Oh and as far as "cooking oils" and "alcohol" I don't understand what is meant by that, I do not add oil, butter, or other fats into anything I cook if that is what was asked. I do know that salt can be an issue, as well as added sugar, I am working on that as well.

I'm 5'9", 58 years old and 25 lbs too fat, mostly in my belly. Like you I was walking for miles and going to the gym constantly on top of tracking my food and after 6 weeks I hadn't lost anything. So I totally understand. Here's what I've heard. Losing weight happens in the kitchen and strength and muscle tone in the gym. This week I've lost 3 or 4 lbs. What did I do differently? I got off an anti-depressant. Could any medications you're taking cause weight gain? I just started last night walking around the block before meals, so no more gym... for now. For me, I find really working out hard is detrimental to my fat loss. I know, it makes no sense, and goes against EVERYTHING you're taught, but that's what works for me. Once I lose 20 lbs., it's back to the gym.

Good luck!
