Anyone out there willing to help me determine why I cannot lose weight? I watch everything I eat and workout 6 days a week to include cardio and weights. Apparently I cannot do this on my own, so I need some assistance from a knowledgeable source.

    Do you use a digital scale to weigh all your intake?

    Open your diary and we'll be able to help you.

    It's always some thing simple like eating more than you think or over estimating calories burnt etc.

    I weigh everything and I do not eat my exercise calories back.

    are you choosing the correct entries and logging consistently?

    is it TOM?
    what is your current deficit?
    is the exercise new?

    can you open your diary?

    Actually 3 weeks is not enough if the person has started lifting in the gym.
    In my experiance (twice) it takes me 6 weeks + to start losing again.

    I use MPF for the information, but I have to write everything down when I log it. Its just the way I am. So I do not have everything in my MFP log online to share.

    But here is my daily goals: 1629 calories (149g Carb, 65g Fat, 112 Protein)

    My current weight is 188.6 I am 5'8 and my workout schedule is as follows:

    Monday: Cardio (5 miles HIIT run/walk) or 55 min bike/elliptical/stepper
    Tuesday: Lower body strength training plus 20-25 cardio
    Wednesday: Upper body strength training plus 20-25 cardio
    Thursday: Lower body strength training plus 20-25 cardio
    Friday: Upper body strength training plus 20-25 cardio
    Saturday: Cardio (5 miles HIIT run/walk)

    Logging on here really helps. Exercise is good but you can certainly over eat without knowing it. In fact, if you are not losing you are eating more than you think.

    Try logging your intake and get a food scale from the start.

    i can't speak more highly of the folks at Eat to Perform - i've been using them for nearly two years now, down 12lbs and maintaining while eating avg 2600 cal a day. The two main coaches have PhD's in Nutrition and Exercise Physiology respectively

    exercise is not relevant to weight loss...

    you can exercise all you want but if you are not in a calorie deficit you won't lose weight.

    at your stats you should be losing at 1629 provided it is accurate.

    I am shorter and weight less and lost on 1600...1lb a week.

    youre writing everything down.. but not using log entries.. so how are you getting the calorie information? just from the packages? because those are notoriously known for products weighing more then the gram weight listed on the package. what about foods that don't come with labels? where are you getting the information from? are you logging things on paper saying "half a cup of potatoes" because using measuring cups is not weighing food.

    I write everything down but get the info from MFP. And i weigh everything

    honestly without the data in front of us it's hard to help.

    But look at the flow chart up thread.

    There are lots of reasons people don't lose and it is a matter of eliminating the obvious first...
