Spiraling out of control!

estinson79 · October 2011

I joined MFP about 1 1/2 years ago but only recently started taking it really seriously. I only have to lose about 10 pounds, but this is proving to be the hardest thing of my life!
I have been exercising 5 days a week and really watching what I eat. Most days I stay under my calorie goal. But I am slowly GAINING weight. I am inching up on the scale every day and the only times I have lost anything is when I legitimately starve myself.
I have a problem with hypoglycemia so I have to make sure I am eating a good balanced meal with enough protein and fiber and no empty carbs. It would be so easy if I could just restrict calories and not worry about balancing things. I feel like I am going to get nowhere!
Anyone else having these same struggles? Or does anyone have a daily dietary guide I can follow? I have already thought about seeing a nutritionist, maybe that is my best bet at this point.
Thanks!

if you are working out 5 days aweek do you think maybe the weight you are gaining is muscle? as far as the hypoglycemia eat lots of smaller meals so you don't have those high and low valleys and eat a good combination of fast carbs and complex carbs.
