What am I doing wrong?

krizz5u6 · February 2012

I have been stuck between 135.8 and 137 lbs and I can't seem to lose more weight, my goal weight is around 120 lbs and I've been on MFP for about 6 weeks. I try to eat pretty healthy and I workout everyday (if not everyday than atleast 5 days a week). I am usually under my calorie goal (and yes this weekend I did eat cake, but it was a special occasion). I don't know what I am doing wrong, and it's very frusterating because I feel like I should be doing better. I do feel slimmer and feel like I have more muscle mass, but I feel like I should have atleast lost another lb or two. Please help! I made my diary public.

Eat back your exercise calories- try it for three weeks and see how it works for you. You've got some sizable deficits in there that could harm your weight loss. You aren't tracking sodium- track it and try to keep it below 2000 if you can.

Okay thank you! I try to keep my calories about 200 under just in case I miscalculated some food or excercise. I will definitely start checking sodium.
