Feel the same.....been careful with what I eat without being obsessive.
I've been up and down within a five pound range. Just tried five plus two....lost weight and put on again!

When we work on losing weight and incorporate exercise into our regiment, we need to remember that as you are losing weight, you are gaining muscle in the place of fat; Muscle weighs more than fat, so though you may not feel like you are losing the weight, you may be losing the fat, just gaining muscle in its place.
People can only lose so much weight before you will not lose anymore, as your body adapts to eating different and exercising more, you need to adjust your diet and exercise plan to accommodate that which your body burns and loses.

I have been riding my bike to and from work for the past three weeks (9-10 miles each way) and I have eaten as I always do, I have not cut fats calories, or carbs out of my diet. I eat what I want and ride each day. Since I have started this and have not really tracked or planned to lose, I have lost 7 pounds.
I have weighed myself once since I have started, because as a woman I do gain and lose water weight, not only because of my period, but because like all woman the salts and things like that that we eat keep water gain on our bodies. Why weigh yourself each week just to get disappointed, set small weigh in goals like every two weeks, then you may start to see a change.

Take progress pics and take measurements so that you're not just focusing on weight. I've found recently that even though I may not be loosing weight, I've lost an inch or so off my waist, hips etc.

Also maybe open your food diary so we can have a look and maybe give you some tips to try?

I weigh myself once a week. Same day and same time. This encourages a positive feeling about all the changes in my diet and excercise. Don't cheat and jump on the scale early. We are doing this to feel good about ourselves and be healthier women. Stay focused and positive. Hard work pays off.

I went through much of the same thing until I really looked into the problem, my nutrition. It's more than cutting calories. You may have to look at the science of it. Calculate your resting calories (those needed to function daily), safe goal weight and what you need to burn for calorie deficiency. Sounds extreme, right? It's not. I did it and realized 1300-1400 calories was basically starvation for me who lives in the gym 5 days/week. I upped it to 1500-1600 calories, adjusted nutrition to mainly protein with veggies and a few carbs, and increased water to a gallon per day. Oh my gosh did it work! It may just work for you.

Hi, mkozmik, I'm new to this group and I have a similar problem. Although I've lost all the weight I want to, (12#), my body fat is at 32%. At age 55 and 116# on a 5' small frame body, I too, can't seem to rid myself of the body fat. I lost my weight since mid Dec and really can't afford to lose any more weight, just need muscle mass, which is harder to achieve at my age. If you have any suggestion I would love to hear them. A ? for you, Do you consume high fructose corn syrup? After much research it seems this is a big NO NO, as our bodies store it as fat. I lost my weight by dropping all processed foods and limiting breads (which I LOVE) pasta and rice. My exercise program is to walk my dog Rascal for 40 to 70 minutes daily and I am finishing my 3rd week of slim in 6 (killer workout). Hope to hear your thoughts. Mary

Thanks, grace4u2receive, I've applied to the group. I've read the liver needs to be detoxed to help lose fat, but no idea on how to do it.

I'm assuming you are on medication due to your adrenals being removed. Need to make sure your hormones are at the correct levels and get meds adjusted if necessary.

You may also want to consider lowering your carbs. A lot of folks with endocrine problems do much better with lower carbs. You don't have to go to extremes. Just play around with your macros until you find what works and you can adhere to it.
