    Hey everyone
    My name is shari and I am struggling really bad to lose weight. I am 23 years old and my wedding is in 6 months. I weigh 170 pounds and my goal is to get to 135 pounds before my wedding. I workout 5-6 days a week which includes cardio, krissy celas workout plan and bbg guide. I weighed 140 lasted around September but due to applyingfor grad school and getting rejections I gained weight. From fitness pal my calorie intake should be 1700 and I'm trying my best to keep it at that level.
    Can anyone please help me out on what I should do? I have been working out since February continuously and I haven't dropped a single pound. I got 3 blood tests done already and everything is normal.

    I need help please

    You have been working out since February but for how long have you been accurately counting calories and logging them and eating 1700 per day?

    I was using Argus app for the first 3 month with 1700 calories accurately and 1 month of fitness pal and I scan everything I eat

    How are you measuring your food? I understand that you're using the bar code scanner, but are you using a food scale, measuring cups/spoons, or eyeballing the amounts?

    I use measuring equipment like the cups and spoons and I eyeball the Protein.

    This video shows why a food scale is such a powerful tool for weight loss. Check it out.

    Using a food scale for all solid food will greatly increase your accuracy. Eyeballing and cups are easily off by 20-50%.
