Haven't lost in 2 weeks - anyone want to peek at my diary?

Your body may plateu if you are study. Use the BMR tool under tools and calculate your basil metabolic rate. Take that calorie total and subtract 100-200 calories.
Look for substitutions. I eat my heaviest meal in the morning which is actually a concoction I developed over time for a higher need of protein. You are welcome to friend me to look at my diary. I susbstitute unsweetened almond milk for non-fat milk because it is 35 calories for a one cup serving versus 100-110 calories per cup for non-fat milk. As the day goes on I keep the carbs low. Skinny cow products are my friend for chocolate and also brookside dark chocolate covered acai and blueberries or pomagranates. On serving is 27 pieces and only 180 calories and 29 carbs. Boulder Canyon makes great chipotle cheese chips that are rice and azuki bean and they are only 7 grams of fat and 17 carbs for 20 chips that are large and great in salsa whihch is also low calorie.
Finally if you are short calories, drink a V8 fusion light. My favorite is mango peach. Tastes like a fancy mango drink. So good. I forgot the most important thing,,,, stay positive and visualize how you want to look and everytime you make a choice tell yourself it is to burn calories.

I use a fitbit too to help challenge. That is an awesome tool. You give new meaning to your own worst enemy. You become challenge your friends or you challenge yourself just to make your goals and get the visual awards. Check it out at fitbit.com. I plateaued after losing 113 pounds with my band and got stuck at the last 40 which is why I joined here. I have lost inches, found new motivation and friend, and I love my fitbit.
Hope this helps,

Try eating more protein and cutting back on the carbs

I agree with this!

I only looked at the past 5 days or so but I did notice that you are exercising and not eating back your calories. Lots of people on here that I've talked to say that if you exercise you need to eat the calories that you burn. I'm not great about eating all my exercise calories either but it's something to try for a week or two and see if that changes anything (I know it sounds weird to eat more to try to lose but people swear by it!) :happy:

I'm probably a little less extreme, but just be patient. Two weeks doesn't seem like enough time to panic. Our bodies mark time in their own special ways... maybe just wait before making any changes.

Bump...

I would agree that you might want to play with your macros.

For myself, I needed to lower my carbs to 45% and spread the other 10% out in protein and fat.

Also, do you elevate your heart rate significantly when your workout and/or break a good sweat for most of it? I can't tell if you're using a heart rate monitor, although I can see you get plenty of time, which is great!

Lower your carbs and up your protein.

There was a study done I couldn't find the link sorry but there was 2 groups of women who ate the same amount of calories, did the same exercise over 12 months. They were in 2 groups high protein / low carb the other group had high carb / low protein same amount of calories.

The women who had the higher protein lower carb diet lost twice as much weight as those women who had high carb lower protein and they were both consuming the same amount of calories.

I work out twice a day sometimes and limit my carbs to 150g and its mostly under 150g majority of the time.

I think if you switch it up to say lower your carbs to 100g a day up your protein in a month or two you will see a big difference.

I didn't go back but about 5 days, and I see a significant trend ...

Your protein intake is routinely HALF of your goals, while you are typically AT or OVER on carbs and sugars. You need to get more protein in your diet. If you want to go over on something in your diet, make it fiber or protein. Keep sodium, fat, carbs, and sugars in check.

Quick glance over a few days not enough protein, too much carbs and sugar and sometime fat. Eat cleaner, when you are limiting your calories you need to make them count. Food that is nutritionally dense, no junk. Good luck!
