Hi everyone!

I have been on my plan for 6 weeks now. I had results- weight loss in weeks one and two, but since then weeks 3-5 no weight loss and week 6 I have actually gained a pound.
I am sticking, I think to my 1500cal daily though I admit I have been not doing much excercise, other walking everywhere and doing some reps of sit-ups.

I am lacking motivation now, thinking what I am doing wrong etc.

    Keep it us and don't get discouraged by the numbers on the scale. You will get there, consistency is the key in this process! :wink:

    This is NORMAL! If you doing the right amount of calories then check how much fat is in those calories! As for the motivation to work out I am wondering what you normally do. I always thought I had to go to a gym to get a good workout but now with 2 boys I have fallen in love with workout videos as they are great and fast. I will return to the gym one day but that will happen when the boys are older. Talk to me and let me see if I can help get you up and off that couch! YOU can DO it!:flowerforyou:

    can't see your food diary so hard to say...

    i would ask though how your sodium levels are doing? too much will retain water weight

    Do you track your sodium? That can be a big factor!

    Hi everyone!

    Thanks everyone for the quick repsonses and willingness to help! I really need this now -- support!

    I am not currently tracking my sodium but I will from now on.

    I am not on any diet meal plan, but I am trying to stay within 1500cal per day. And using the principles of Chronutrion (eating a large breakfast, middle lunch and light dinner), trying to drink 3L water daily but most days even 2L is difficult. I have cut out any processed foods. I cook all of our meals from scratch. And we have made a commitment to not eat out, if possible and eat more vegetables, lean proteins like chicken and fish several times a week and red meats only few times a month. I have cut out all my Coke and other caloric beverages, I only drink tea and water on. And occasional, allow myself 2-3x weekly the morning cup of coffee with milk.

    I feel like I am eating monomeals:

    Either 2 eggs with slice ww bread or oatmeal for breakfast. I was eating Special K cereal for week then noticed I was eating double the portion size so I stopped.
    Protein like eggs, hummous, salad, pita bread and fruit for lunch
    I drink tea in the afternoon with a a slice of flatbread with jam, or fruit or nuts
    For dinner, I try keep it light by having a lean protein like fish grilled with either a salad or steamed veg (mostly carrots) or a bowl of chicken soup (no noodles)

    I do feel hungry during the day, but it may be since I have a issue with portion control, hence the reason I am fat now LOL!
    I did the whole low fat dairy thing but found there was much other addivties I did not want, so I went back to the regular version. I love dairy BTW , also bread and pasta, probably another reason why I am fat.

    I usually don't eat meat, but since starting this diet, I have made an effort to. I no long fry but grill the meats.

    Fitness-wise I have 2 twin baby boys at home, so I am pretty much homebound now until they are get abit older. I have no equipment but dh is thinking about getting a cross trainer in the future. I have found Zumba on YouTube which seems like alot of fun (also ockeBody.tv) but i fear I am just too unfit and out of shape to keep up. I'm 31 170cm and 112kg.

    My motivation was so very high in Jan when I started but 6wks later, it's very low --- so results I am seeing + I do not feel any better. I need some motivation and some tips to get where I need to be! Thanks everyone!

    Roonie- May I add you as a friend?
