Need some advice

Stick with it! You your body is gaining muscle from the exercise. Muscle weighs more than fat. Take measurements because you are probably losing size.

If this is your first time exercising that much in a long time then if is possible you are losing fat but gaining back the weight in muscle. If you stick with it the pounds will start to come off. Muscle helps boost your metabolism so you will burn more calories just sitting around than you would w/o the muscle. Just keep it up!

More water might help jump start the process. The time of day you put the last piece of food in your mouth might have an effect, too. I tend to try and stay away from food much after 7:00pm and I really try for 6:30. That gives your body a chance to digest and burn off some of the late day calories. High fiber foods might help flush out the food along with the water.

I'm no expert but it seems to be helping with me.

How far under your calorie intake are you? If it's quite a lot you will find it hard to lose the weight as your body will be clinging onto it for dear life as it will be wondering how long it will be before the next food fix. Try as hard as you can to eat your calories every day, but make sure it's something healthy.
Plus if you exercise too much & are not eating properly you will start to burn your muscle away - which is not good!

Good luck!

I agree with Water and Fibre...and do whatever you can not to get discouraged. They say it takes 21 days to develope a habit and really being healthy is a DIFFICULT habit. I want Dairy Queen Blizzards everyday LOL but I just keep reminding myself that I am the only one that can stand in my own way and I have to put my stubborness to good use to 'beat the bulge'

If you think you can't you won't, but all of us on here are going to help support you so keep up the good work! and remember, as my Dad always says, if it's worth doing it's going to be hard but the payoff will be worth it.

Keep it up Girl!!

Don't get discouraged, keep making better decisions and you will be better off long term. You mentioned you were on weight watchers. They always say it is about changing your habits to make healthier choices, you must think of this site in the same way. Loosing one pound per week is much easier to maintain so you don't gain it all back, and 4 pounds this month is impressive!

I try to eat more frequently so that I am not starving throughout the day. Another commenter mentioned that he doesn't eat past 7- I try to do the same. I learned a lot of tricks from weight watchers like eating an apple or fat free low calorie vegetable soup 20 minutes before dinner. Honeycrisp apples are delicious and a great source of fiber!

I don't like yogurt that much, but I try to take probiotic pill every day to keep the plumbing working. CVS or Walgreens sells them for about $4 a bottle and it does the same regulation of your tummy that Activia does, just without having to eat an expensive yogurt everyday.

I have also found that I am significantly less crazy about my weight loss progress if I only weigh myself twice a week. Once is for my actual weigh-in and the other is mid week to check my progress. Good luck to you in all your efforts, and don't get discouraged because you are faboulous and making great progress!!!

Muscle does not weigh more than fat. A pound of muscle is a pound and a pound of fat is a pound. The difference between the two is that muscle is leaner and more compact and therefore healthy, while fat takes up more space and is generally unhealthy.

That being said, make sure you are eating enough calories to fuel your body. Eating too few puts your body into starvation mode and it will hold onto the fat (weight) thinking that it needs to preserve it in order to survive.

Drink plenty of water, eat fiber and protein rich foods which help you feel full longer, and make sure you are getting your daily requirement of dairy.

Sustainable, healthy weight loss is a long process, but the benefits are long-term too. Good luck!
