Feeling very discouraged...

I'm not a nutritionist, but at a glance, I think you need to add more greens and veggies to your diet. I'd also start tracking the FIBER (I think it's a setting) -- the more you eat the more "full" you'll feel. Cut out the cheese and nuts, those are high-fat, high calorie, and don't fill you up very much. (maybe a small handful of nuts before you workout, but that's all).

Do you wear a heart rate monitor? If so, you should be burning about 350-400 calories during a good 1-hour workout (i sometimes burn more if it's a heavy cardio day).

Try not to "eat" all of your exercise calories. It's hard, but if you put in a big salad with lunch and dinner (easy on the oil in the dressing!), it will help.

Good Luck, and keep it up.

DON'T PANIC.

You are female, which means your body is on a month-long hormonal roller-coaster ride. Hormones have a *huge* influence on the scale. So don't stress about a gain over the course of a week. Go ahead and weigh yourself weekly or even daily if you like, but don't stress about anything until it's been at least a month. That lets you see the general trend. I generally eat & exercise very consistantly, don't switch it up much. Yet, most months, I'll have two weeks when it looks like I lose nothing, followed by a couple of weeks where it looks like I lost 3-4 lbs. I'm pretty sure I'm really losing 1 or 1.5 lbs a week steadily, but that's not what the scale tells me.

Also, the following things can make you retain water: excess sodium, recent exercise (sore muscles retain water), lack of sleep (yes, that affects your hormone levels & can throw things off), the humidity & temperature outside.

Finally, if you are burning fat but gaining muscle, your scale number may go up. Take your measurements, and then take them again in a month or two months & see whether you've lost inches. Muscle is more dense than fat, so if you're replacing fat with muscle, your weight can actually go up while your inches go down & your body becomes more toned & firm. By the way, if that's what is happening, congrats, you're doing it right! The more muscle you have, the easier it is to lose the rest of your fat!

Good luck to you!

It's just the nature of how the body works. Don't get too stressed over it. Give it a month. If you aren't seeing the results you want, you can then decide if you should change up something in the routine.

^^ This, my friend.

For all sorts of reasons, my weight jumps up and down during the course of a month. It is particularly hard when I know I've worked hard and eaten correctly, but it is just that kind of week.

Do similar to what you did this past week and try again for weekly weigh in - I bet you get a much better result..

It's possible you're body is holding on to water to repair itself from the exercise.

I have to agree with this. I'm struggling with this as well. The number on the scale is so psychological. I've started doing weight sessions and it tends to increase that number temporarily.

What counts is recomposition.

Sorry, gotta disagree with this advice. It is protein that makes you feel full: protein provides long-lasting energy, as opposed to carbohydrates that provide quick bursts of energy. Protein also digests more slowly to start with, so you'll feel fuller longer.
The chemical reaction that burns fatty acids in your body also requires amino acids, which the body gets from protein. So it's important to eat enough protein. Cheese and nuts are both great snacks to get in a little extra protein.
It's also great that you're starting your day with a couple of eggs. My only suggestion to you, after looking at your diary, is to try to stay under your carbs & fat allowances but try to go over the protein allowance, especially if you're working out a lot. Grill or bake a fish filet, shrimp kabobs, a chicken breast, a pork chop, or a steak.

You're absolutely correct -- protein does help with feeling fuller. However eating too cheese and nuts (to get the protein) also provides too much fat and lot's of calories (for the little bit of "space" in the stomach it takes up). So while it's great to eat a LITTLE bit of cheese and nuts as a SNACK, portion control is key (I may eat 1/2 ounce of sharp cheddar when I get home, to tide me over while I'm cooking dinner). The OP is woefully low on leafy green veggies -- eating more of these will increase her fiber intake and help her get other important nutrients.
