    Try to keep your sodium at about 1,000-1,500mg a day. That should make a big difference on it's own!

    I looked at your food diary, and I'm no expert, but from what I've been reading on here, you need to be eating all your calories, including exercise ones that are added. I've heard about the body going into starvation mode if you don't as well.

    I have found that when I eat all the calories/including those for exercise, the weight has started to come off faster......
    Keep it up. It will start to come off - slow is not a bad thing - measure yourself as well.
    I've also heard that splitting up workouts is good too!!

    Hi there. Your food diary looks pretty clean to me. I would say stick with it and see if you are on a plateau. Keep up the good work though, dont get discouarged.

    You could switch it up. Like for a week, cut out breads/pasta. Maybe limit your sugar a little more. And yes, be sure you're eating back at least half of your exercise calories. :) Our bodies are funny things. Just remember that you didn't put on all the weight overnight and it won't come off overnight - as much as I know I wish it would! LOL

    Dont worry about what the scale is reading. If your working out and hour a day and eating healthy , your doing it right. Your clothes are fitting better , that must make you feel better , Dont let the scale bring you down. Keep up the good work.

    Do you have a tape measure? Measure your body. If your clothes are fitting better, whether you are losing pounds or not, I'm sure you're losing inches! Don't get discouraged. You're doing fine. :flowerforyou:

    If I'm looking at your ticker right, you've lost 4 pounds since 1/11. That's pretty awesome! Don't get discouraged now.

    Remember that when we gain muscle you do not notice losing on the scale, but if clothes are fitting better believeme it,s working.
    Keep up the good work.

    I looked at your food diary too...you are not eating enough! You need to eat not only your alloted calories for the day (the site calculations has figured out how many you need to eat to lose weight), but also most or all of your exercise calories. Otherwise you body goes into starvation mode and hangs on to every ounce of weight it can.

    I know it can seem scary and counter-productive to eat all those calories, but trust me (and this site), the science behind it is true and accurate and it will work if you eat properly and the right amount.

    I lost 6lbs in my first week on this site and I even went over my alloted (including the exercise ones) calories twice.

    muscle weights more than fat and takes up less space...so, the scale won't move but the clothes will fit better...your profile looks good...keep up the good work and hang in there kittykat!! :wink:
