I dont understand what s going on !!!!

I just don't understand. I have been drinking lots of water, working out 4 times this week. , eating good. But I didn't loss anything.
I just dont get it. I do 30 minutes on the treadmill, and 20 on the ellipitcal. free weights. Thats the only things that are around that I can do. Any ideas what I should try?

You didn't lose for one week or you haven't lost over a long period of time?

If it's just one week, that happens and is normal.

You didn't gain weight in a week, you won't lose it in a week. Give it some time.

I usually eat 1/2 an apple and string cheese and hand full of peanuts for an ami haven't been really lossing for about a month or more. I just can not get passed 166-162. Every time I weigh in its some where between there. Help...

Please stop with the vague information. "Haven't been really losing" means what? You haven't lost at all? You've lost and regained for no obvious reason? You're losing slowly?

Are you being honest about your calories? A lot of people overestimate calories burned and underestimate calories eaten, either by not actually weighing and measuring food or by failing to properly log everything, like the random bites of things that they don't think matter, but that can add up.

Since you've lost more than 20 lbs. so far, have you reset your goals/settings? The less you weigh the less you can eat. Your MFP calorie limit should have decreased. Play around with your settings and see how it changes.

I am in the same boat. Is it possible we are eating too little? I basically stay under 1200 calories. Have been doing this for years. I am going to try staying between 1200-1500 and see what happens. I am beyond frustrated with all the tie and energy I am putting in and not seeing results. I only have 10 pounds to lose. Any suggestions would be helpful.

No. Should I up my calorie intake . If so I what shouldI i sethave it at. or lower it to what...

I think I have been logging it right. When I go to the gym. I go by the machines calorie counter.

It is very likely the machines are giving you a too-high calorie count. There are notoriously inaccurate, thought a few are on target. There's really no way to know for sure.

I would lower my calories before upping them. If you still don't lose, maybe try eating more. Everyone's body is different and will react to lowering or raising calories differently.

But since you've lost weight and are now at a plateau, I suspect you need to eat less.

You are eating too little...I was doing the same thing....check out this group "the olivia method" Many people have had great luck with it and Im also doing it...essentially you are eating your BMR...check it out:-)

Have you done measurements? Chances are, even though you aren't losing pounds, you're losing inches. Good luck!

I looked at your diary and I don't think that you are eating enough?

Have you been taking your measurements? I have found that my sizes will drop before the number on the scale does. I have learned to put a lot more faith and emphasis on what the tape measure says and not the scale.

Thanks so much. I will check it out. I also am increasing my exercise and intensity. I will not give up. It has been one month without any results, and I am diligent with my counting and working out. Plus I have been doing this most of my life. I don't know why I am not getting any results.

Also, keep in mind that:

a. Muscle weighs more than fat. So working out, while excellent for your body, usually translates as a slower weight loss

b. Hormonal changes for women tend to result in water retention. It took me years to realize that at certain times of the month (namely ovulation and menstration), I'm always going to either gain or maintain my weight.

Whatever you do, don't give up, guys. That's been my solution so many times, and all it does is make you feel horrible afterwards. Try some of the solutions others have posted, like maybe switching up the exercise routine period. The human body has such an amazing capacity to adapt to movements that ater awhile, the routines you're used to and getting good at suddenly don't burn the calories that they used to. Take a few weeks doing something else, like bicycling or swimming. That might get you over the hump.

And remember, we're all here to help and encourage as needed. Just keep on keeping on, okay ^_^

I had to have sugury 6 years ago so I dont get it any more.
Part of your weight resistance can be because you did have the surgery ony your glands are producing the estrogen so your body saves it and we all know where it is saved in fat cells.
