Help. I am at a standstill.

Our bodies do have to adjust, so sometimes we plateau and build muscle then drop some more fat. It isn't always consistent. Don't give up. If we push ourselves too hard we get all those crazy destructive emotions and burn out. Be kind to yourself like you would someone else but keep going! I am really successful at losing weight! It's keeping it off that gets me! I would ride my bike for hours but when I had injuries I would get so stressed and depressed and eat. For me at this point I realize I have to make it a lifestyle that I can keep up with and not push as hard. It helps to have fun too. Mix things up. Change the exercise routine. Have a higher calorie day then a lower one. You can do it. As long as you try you are moving in the right direction.

Assuming you a r e accurately tracking your calories your intake is far to low. Eating less than 1200 calories a day while exercising 6 days a week for an hour at a time is starving yourself. It will make you weak, emotionally frayed and you will quit.

Relax, eat more just slightly less than your body requires for maintenance and stop stressing yourself over your scale. Commit to something you can sustain long term and just get used to it so you can do it for the years to come.

This isn't supposed to hurt.

Wow, you are so good and disciplined and exercise so much! That's awesome and amazing! I was very discouraged this morning to find I GAINED 3 lbs since yesterday! I'm like 'What the..' . I log all my calories, everything I eat and stay around 1,000 calories a day. I can't exercise unfortunately because of an medical condition I have but I do what little bit I can. Why would I GAIN when I am sticking to the dietary restrictions like I am supposed to??? So confused and discouraged.

Are you sleeping better?
Do you breathe more easily?
Is your concentration better?
Do you feel more lively?
If yes, then stop looking at the negatives
and see the positives.
There's more to health than weight loss

great metrics.

Sometimes in your weight loss journey, you will hit a plateau and it appears that you aren't making any progress because the scale isn't moving. Do you take measurements? Sometimes when they scale isn't moving, you are losing inches. The key to losing weight and getting fit and healthy is consistency. Even if you aren't seeing immediate results on the scale, keep doing the right things every day and you will start to see the scale move again. You might need to shake up your workouts...I like to vary my workouts during the week and every couple of months or so make a change. I workout 6 days a week, every week without fail 30-60+ minutes a day. Those workouts include a combination of flexibility, strength, cardio, HIITs, etc. I do all my workouts at home - Right now I'm doing a hybrid of PiYo, TurboFire and running but prior to this I was doing P90x3. I like to change it up to keep it interesting. Also, be sure to drink AT LEAST half your body weight in ounces of water every day. I drink double that. Stay in your calorie range but be sure you are eating healthy food so that you are property fueling your body. I just can't get on board with people who say a calorie is a calorie - a candy bar isn't the same fuel for your body as a big salad with turkey even though the calories may be the same. Keep us posted on your results!
