I have been tracking for 15 days in a row & NOTHING!

Open your food diary so we can help you adjust.

Yep - can't give much advice without seeing what you are eating.....also do you have a food scale - are you weighing your food ..... I find that a lot of people that start under estimate how much they actually eat - after 10 months I still weigh most of my food every day...

Select the food tab. then select the settings tab and at the very bottom is privat or public. Select public. Then we will be able to help you.

I don't know if this will help, but in lieu of exercise, I'm drinking a lot of water. I've only just begun, so no progress so far.

Have to agree with Elleinnz; it is so easy to miscalculate portions or sample a little here or there and not realize it. At least that has been my problem.

Another thing to consider is when you eat. For example, try to eat within 30 minutes of the time you wake up to prevent your body from going into "starvation" and storing everything. When I'm hungry (every few hours) I eat a small pre-planned meal of about 300 - 350 calories. This prevents me from doing something I'll regret, like raiding the vending machine, and I never suffer from hunger. I eat 5 to 6 meals like this a day and try to get plenty of veggies and fruits while balancing the macro-nutrients as much as reasonable. Finally, try not to eat right before going to sleep.

From my experience, it will get easier and you will see progress soon. If you can get in more exercise this will accelerate the progress as the added muscle will increase your metabolism and burn more calories throughout the day. Once this process starts, look out! You will start feeling better, your motivation will pick up, and you will start dropping weight at a safe and steady rate.

Oh my goodness - you are not eating much are you - I would also suggest trying to cook / eat more vegetables, salads and if you can stay away from processed stuff.....

Have a look at my diary compared to yours - now my diary does not happen overnight - it has taken me 10 long months to learn to get rid of the pre-prepared / processed stuff and eat simpler and healthier....

I also had to learn to plan, and make sure I have the right food in my fridge / cupboard and available to pack my lunches for work every day...... today I eat more than I had ever eaten in my life, but it is mostly good healthy food (as I say it might take time to get there.....but try and take small steps :-)

Don't buy the things that will tempt you - or if you do buy small packs, so that if you eat some it is an occasional treat rather than a constant temptation.

Good luck - it can be done :-)

You do eat fresh foods, I definiitely see that. I did also see at least 5 days where you logged either fast food or restaurant food (Both which can be chock full of sodium). Also, I see things like cereal, which you are eating 2 cups of, and usually a portion is 3/4 - 1 cup. You are like me... I love those foods, but I have to be super careful of carbs and sugars.

okay you guys are right! i just looked at a review of what i was eating! grrrr

Don't get frustrated! It's a learning process. I actually think a good place to start is with the USDA food guide. Half your plate is fruits and vegetables, the other is protien and grains. But be careful with grains. i noticed russet potatoes, try sweet potatoes (or I like red potatoes) eat whole grains, brown rice, whole wheat pasta )

It took me forever to see any results. Hang in there. And yes water, water, water. I also agree with everyone about the scale. Stay within your goals and it will come off. Don't give up.... it's a struggle but it does work. Good luck!
