Hello all I'm new to thise site and only been using it for 10 days now. But I've been eating healthy for about 4 weeks now and I'm not sure if I see any results. I wanted to know if any of my friends knew of any exercises or meal plans I can try to help with my weight lost. I'm confused looking at my daily diary you would think I was loosing weight, I'm also drinking water and exercising daily burning maybe 2-300 calories daily. So if anyone knows of anything it would be very helpful THANKS

    10 lbs is a tad bit unrealistic. HEALTHILY, you can lose 2 lbs a week and so in a month, you can lost 8 HEALTHILY. :)

    You may not see results in the first few days.. I lost then gained (water weight I was told) and over 35days I lost 10lbs. Key is dont let you net calories go under 1200 a day

    For as little as you need to lose, 10 pounds in a month is not a reasonable goal. Half a pound to one pound per week would be more realistic. 2 pounds a week is a healthy weight loss for someone with a significant amount to lose, but as you get closer to your goal weight, the loss rate has to slow down a bit.

    Looking through your diary, you might not be eating enough. Many people stall in their weight loss if they're not netting at least 1200 cals a day (calories eaten minus calories burned through exercise). I know I started losing faster when I upped my intake a bit.

    Watch your sodium intake. A high sodium diet can cause you to retain water, thus not lose the weight you wish to. 10 pounds is a good weight loss goal, however you want to be careful how quickly you lose it. It is easier to maintain a healthy weight when losing 1-2 lbs a week. Good luck.

    Well I lost 20 lbs in about 3 weeks. I have been calorie counting and doing the Biggest Loser program. I eat small meals throughout the day and I exercise everyday. This past week I haven't really lost any weight, and this is week 4, but at the same time I have a lot of weight to lose, I'm not sure if that makes a difference or not.

    It does make a difference - see ajbeans' post above. The less you have to lose, the less your body can handle a high calorie deficit (which is required to lose weight quickly). It's simply unrealistic and unhealthy for someone without much to lose (like the OP) to try and lose even 2 lbs/week.

    To the OP - read ajbeans' post and take it to heart.

    Have you tried Shakeology? I drink this everyday and already lost over 31 lbs. It's a healthy way to lose weight without doing crazy diets. You just eat healthy, replacing a meal with a shake and it comes with a workout program to rev up your metabolism.

    Thanks you all been very helpful and I guess the right and healthy way would be for me to loose 2 lbs a week.. The only thing is me eating 1200 calories a day because I rarely get hungry.. I'll just try to take each day at a time.

    Actually, the healthy way would be for you to set your goal to 1/2 to 1 lb/week since you really don't have much to lose. Faster is NOT necessarily better or healthier. 2 lbs/week is appropriate for someone with adequate fat supplies, but you wouldn't fall into that category.

    Try clenbuterol

    This is a terrible idea. No one should take clen unless they have a true understanding on the product. It is not made or taken for everyday weight loss goals. It is used mainly by bodybuilders for cutting. Having dated a bodybuilder for over 2 years i do not recommend anyone taking this with out the proper knowledge of it.
