Getting fed up now. Feeling obsessed every time I look at scales when weight not going. Doing so much exercise, sticking to calories

    have you implemented any of the changes or take a diet break to combat the over training issues discussed in this thread?

    don't worry about the body scale. focus on the food scale.

    This is really an anxiety issue.

    Are you under a lot of stress either personally or professionally?

    I suffer from anxiety always have and self confidence issues. I have gone down two stone and two dress sizes from 14-10. But I look in mirror and see me the same size as I was. I weigh once a week and it stays at 9st 9. Been doing 4 cardio classes a week and 2 strength sessions but still stays the same. Making myself eat more to get up to the calories set by fitness pal

    I don't understand how eating more is going to help you lose weight. Try to focus on what you like about your exercise. Try a trending app for your weight(I use libra). It shows a graph of your weight, goal weight, and trends, so you don't have to focus so much on the daily weight. Do you do any yoga or meditation to help you relax? When I feel anxiety creeping up, yoga or a nice walk outside seems to help.

    Hi! So I’ve been trying to get rid of my belly fat/love handles since I was probably in 8th grade and I feel like I’ve tried everything, diets, exercises, fads! And nothing has seemed to help. Any suggestions?

    I’d rather feel miserable and exercise then to feel miserable and not. At least I’m doing something, which exceeds doing nothing.
