Beyond Frustrated

I'd also like to add, keeping the portions the same doesnt always mean its still low calorie. I just had the lean cuisine santa fe rice and beans. Its a large portion with a creamy sauce and 280 calories. ( no idea how they accomplish this and I dont think I want to know
) If i made this at home, eyeballing the rice and beans and then a sauce, im guessing mine would come out closer to 500-600 calories. thats a big difference. 7 -
Thank you for those of you concerned about me. I am not expecting daily results and I am not expecting to become anorexic , as I mentioned I started at 120 in July and I am still at 120. Again as I said I started by simply cutting calories, when no results I added exercise, in addition to cutting calories and exercising, I am making healthy eating choices. Hence the title of the post, beyond frustration, I haven't lost any weight. My goal is 110 which is perfectly within the healthy range for my height.4

I think that what’s being said over and over is that if you really were eating as little as you think, you’d be losing weight, and probably be malnourished as well. Therefore, many posts have suggested your numbers are off. Somewhere. Most of us have been in your situation and learned the frustrating way how to tighten things up.
For example, my homemade recipes have all the ingredients weighed out, then I eat a set portion. It’s pretty close, because I lose weight when I stay under or at my 1200 calorie limit. It took me 3 frustrating years of not really understanding where or why I wasn’t losing, to finally bite the bullet and weigh solid foods. I even weigh a TBS of peanut butter. As I’ve done this for the past year I now don’t need to weigh everything as I have a feel for the inaccuracies.8 -

You think you cut calories. You didn't.13 -

Then you need to see a doctor as there is something very wrong if you can't lose weight on 1000 cals plus exercise.4 -

Thank you for your reply but I actually know I did. I was eating a lot more and more food with higher calories until I stopped doing that and I started counting what I ate.9 -

If you had and were at a deficit consistently, you'd be losing weight.

Too low calories, thats never a good idea.0

OP hasn't lost any weight since July. It's not likely this is a case of calories going too low.9 -
No one really can tell you why youre not losing weight except a licensed practitioner but what we do know for sure is that 1000 calories is not healthy for ANYONE.13

Some people can safely eat 1,000 calories a day in partnership with their doctor. To say it isn't healthy for anyone is an oversimplification.10 -

While it can be difficult to get proper nutrition on 1000 calories a day, nobody has ever failed to lose weight by eating too little.2 -
When you click on the OP to see the diary the page is not there. Was it a troll?0

I hate it when so many people try to help someone, only to have them leave.4

I think OP was not getting the answers she wanted to hear. I tried to look at her diary and the entire profile is gone. Shame. She was getting solid advice.4

solid advice, but it wasnt the advice of 'shes a special snowflake and the only one who can eat at a major deficit and STILL not lose weight'.
special indeed.4 -

Right, so you were eating at a surplus and now you're eating at maintenance. You may be eating less, but still not enough to lose.3 -
I didn’t disappear people. I am here looking for suggestions and help. Not here wasting anyone’s time. I was reluctant to open my diary because some will tear me apart for that one day I didn’t have a deficit or for that one time i ate bread. I am ready to answer any questions. As I noticed from some of the posts people read what they want out of what I am saying.
Sadly it happens a lot. Many people who claim that they can't lose weight on 1000 calories, or even say that they gained weight - when you ask them to open up their diary, poof, they disappear.fiddletime wrote: »I hate it when so many people try to help someone, only to have them leave.

Okay, so you've told us about those two slip ups that's fine. If you open your diary we can get a better idea of the reason you're not losing weight. Are you using a food scale to measure your intake? Measuring cups are better for liquids not solids. Let us know how you're tracking your intake as well.1 -

Diary is public. I’d appreciate any help here.
