barely losing any weight...

Difficult to give feedback without seeing your diary. Would you mind making it public so we can see what your days look like? That would allow us to help better. :bigsmile:

i would suggest cutting out meats, sugars and dairy. AND OF COURSE POP SWEET TEAS anything of that sort. I say water, hot tea plain, and black coffee is your friend. I would suggest being on a more vegan diet more greens and raw foods like fruits to help shed some extra pounds. I would stay away from starches too.

Agreed that the best way people can help is by seeing the food diary. I notice that (especially for women) what you eat makes a much bigger difference than how much you work out. Also, all these calories consumed and burned are estimates. Some of us have faster or slower metabolisms. You have to use this site as directional, but adjust to your own body.

Please make your diary public.I ran into trouble and my pals helped me out.But the water is important and so is workouts.

perhaps the amount of calories you're eating in one sitting is too much for your body to burn. You are eating high calorific meals in some of your meals.

You have gone over with carbs and salt like some have said on here.

Also I wouldn't personally rely on the amount of calories it says you've burnt and I certainly wouldnt eat back all the calories as its way too much. As you've only just started, my advice is to cut back on every fatty food with no treats for at least 2 weeks just to give your body a kick start.

Just glancing at a few days of your diary, the problem could be your sodium intake. Try monitoring that, cutting back, to see if that works. Good luck!

I would second that. You are ingesting a TON of sodium. Also, you either aren't drinking much water or you aren't logging it. If you aren't drinking much, then that - combined with the sodium intake - is almost certainly a major part of your problem.

First thing, I see you're skipping breakfast every morning.....bad move. Secondly, you seem to be over on your carbs most days, while staying under your calorie goal. I don't think that you're eating all that healthy...just a personal opinion. Integrate more fresh fruits and veggies and cut back on the fast food/restaurant food. Did you really eat just a Johnsonville cheddar brat for dinner? No bread, toppings, or accompaniment?

Agreed. Also a previous poster said that you are eating a lot of calories at one sitting, which is what I thought too. Just make a few changes and I bet you will see results! You can do this!

Yep in addition the breakfast and carb allocation that has been said. I would also suggest splitting you calories out into more (count) smaller (kcal) meals. I would suggest 5-6 meals a day, evenly spaced. You metabolism is not going to start burning off (and not storing) extra fat unless it's convinced that energy is being provided on a consistent basis.
