HELP.......

I know, quit stalking you already lol

I only lose if I eat at LEAST 1800 calories a day while doing TurboFire......I'm 5'7" and weigh 159, does that help?:flowerforyou:

3 and 1/2 it's still awesome!
You may just not have the right calorie balance that works yet, if you're working out you may not be loosing so much weight because you're building up muscle which weighs more than fat.
I'm not great on the exercise front and i don't know what you do in your workout but maybe do alternate exercise each day so it's burning off the fat instead of just toning up a certain section ? I.e one day go for a run, next day weights, next day run etc.
Hope i've been kind of a help!

There could be a number of reasons for this. You mentioned that you have toned up so you have to remember that muscle weighs more than fat; you should measure your waist, bust and hip size which will give you a better indication on whether you are losing weight or not and not just base it on what the scales tell you.

Also you may wish to up your cardio, so try longer sessions but 3 times a week, and then 2 resistance training days to help you tone. This should help you shed the weight and tone at the same time.

Remember to monitor fat and sugar intake and not just calories as you can be consuming low calories but high fat and this will have an overall effect on your weight loss.

Hope this helps x

If you are toning up, your muscles may be retaining water. If you are really worried about the scales, you could lower your cards a great deal and up your protein with lean cuts of meat and egg whites. As long as, you drink at least 2 liters of no calorie fluid a day to flush toxins. A high protein diet, helps eliminate a lot of fluid. If you do decide to try more protein, just be sure you slowly introduce more carbs. I have lost 8 pounds in 4 days and have been eating a lot of meat. I never feel deprived because I am always so full. Of course, it is best to take a multi-vitamin when doing this, and consult a doctor if you have had kidney problems in the past.

HAHA not stalking me, your very helpful......I always thought by increasing my calorie too much I wouldn't lose weight? I'm scared to over eat, lol

Losing weight is easy, everyone just need to follow the two simple rules of you need toEAT to lose weight and do lots of CARDIO if you eat healthy that means no cheat days for like two weeks you will start to see lbs come off. Also stay away from any and all processed foods and fruits. Your body requires a MIN of 22mins a day to strenghen your heart because its a muscle and with that said keeping your body fueled is the key to keeping your metoblisim going and not causing your body to shut down and store everything as fat.

Take your target weight, add the calories it takes to maintain that. Eat those NET calories a day. Drink lots of water, cut out sodium as much as possible. Looking at your diet you have went WAY under your daily calorie amount in one instance. You go into too much of a deficit and your body is going to store what it gets.

1) Eat your net cals everyday. ADD in your exercise, i.e. you work out 45 minutes, you need to eat those calories.

2) Fruit is fine... lots of sugar though.

so eating fruit isn't good?? I like to have an orange or an apple? and I'm going to up my calorie intake.
