Why can't I do this?!

A thyroid check can be done with a simple blood test! I would have your thyroid checked and start logging on the weekends. Don't forget to change up your exercise routine.

Maybe try making simple changes like green tea instead of coffee. Or black coffee instead of cream/sugar would be a good start.
Every little bit helps.

I've been on MFP for a while now. I log my food, I work out like crazy, I drink my water. My weight is going NO WHERE! This week, I gained a pound!

I always eat back at least 1/2 of my exercise calories so I eat enough to fuel my body. I do tend to not log on the weekend, but I make good choices and try to get exercise in.

What am I doing wrong? I'm wondering if I may have a thyroid issue. Does anyone have experience with this?

My diary is public. Fire away.

Thanks!

If you're only going to follow the plan 70% of the time (5 days a week) then you're going to have less than stellar results.

I'd suggest trying a few weeks of following the plan 100% of the time and seeing if that improves your results. You can't say the program isn't working when you aren't actually following it, right?

Happy Friday, we all have road blocks and speed bumps it moving them and keeping on that makes us stronger and leaner

From Are you fitter then a Senior, " Winners never quit and quitters never win" If you have not seen that show don't worry I found it while looking on Demand.

Its really hard to say why?

Your eating within your calories.
Do you eat any meat or fish as I was not seeing a lot of that in your diary and it is important to have lean protein.

Do you drink soda even diet? ( I think that is a huge factor I do not drink it my friend who does has the hardest time loosing weight)

Are you working out hard enough 60 -90 minutes a day 5-6 days a week if over 29? I know when I am not working out hard and not eating clean and lean I will not loose.
If my diet is high in sodium I will gain that week.

Have you tried switching your coffee for green tea in the morning? You will need advil for the first week trust me on that if you have a Tevana in your mall go there find a tea you love! I can recommend many if you like they even have some that are as strong as coffee but you may still need advil coffee withdrawal is real. Little head aches nothing too bad.

I would say going to the Doctor if you feel something is wrong is always a good thing. Have you had your yearly physical? This is important so you know what your Blood pressure, cholesterol which will then give you an idea on what foods to avoid and what to eat more of to get a healthy balance.

I know you can do this never say can't!

I have to echo thumper's response - you say you eat about 1/2 your exercise calories back but I only saw a couple days where you really did that - mostly you barely touch them.

I also agree that you need to try logging on the weekends - it's the only way to truly utilize this program. You may be eating more than you realize or forgetting about things like drinks. I don't usually come online during the weekend but I do jot down what I'm eating (and drinking if applicable) on the notepad on my cellphone. Then I log everything on Monday to see how I did. Most of the time it's pretty good but there are times when a BBQ party or having some friends over for dinner and drinks throws things out of proportion.
