Why can't I lose weight?! Getting frustrated!!

Check what you are recording. Are you weighing your food? Are you drinking enough water? Are you sure what you're recording is accurate?

You may be lose fat. Are you measuring with a tape?

You might be eating too much of your other macro nutrients - fats and carbs. On weeks that I go over my fat every day, I only lose .2 lbs rather than the 1.5 I usually do.

Have you taken your measurements? You could be gaining muscle and slimming down , but the scae might not be showing it.
Yesterday I read a post about a lady who had actually gained a pound since starting , and there was no way anyone could dispute that she was smaller

I notice you don't ever get your fat....EAT FAT TO LOSE FAT. Mind you get your good sources of fat. Low fat/no fat foods are loaded with extra sugars since they taste like crap. The sugars are worse since the body isn't able to use that much energy at once and it turns it into fat for easy storage/retrieval.

Occasionally eat your exercise calories back so that your body don't hold onto the extra weight to prevent starvation. It keeps your body guessing how much calories it needs.

Set Protein to 30-40%
Eat higher carbs on workout days and higher fats on rest days.
When you have a rest day...truly rest.

Nutrition will be 70% of your success.
Sleep and recovery 20%.
Training only 10%.

Consistency is key.

I agree with the post above. You should definitely customize your nutrition to 40% carbs, 30% protein, and 30% fat. It just seems like you are eating a lot of carbs and not getting enough protein or healthy fats. The balance will help you start to lose weight again

Take some measurements. Sub some weight lifting into your routine. Profit

Any suggestions for breakfast? I have to work at 7am.

I like to do old fashion oatmeal with organic fruit added, and a small amount of honey. I get the big can at Kroger, and it's able to be microwaved. 2 minutes and breakfast is ready!

It's really about pushing yourself its 3500 calories every pound- if you wanna lose 25 lbs thats 87 000 calories that need to be burnt and not re-eaten. It takes the body time to adjust burning more calories and keeping weight off completely its a transformation don't be upset of it's slow process but 25 lbs will not disappear healthily in a few months.

Number 1 keep your metabolism up and keep finding ways to make it faster

Number 2 with upping your exercise gradually and regularly as your body does adjust to cardio quite easily and burns less calories doing the same thing over and over. With the eliptical machine try putting it on more difficult settings every time you use it and always try to run a few minutes longer ( or an extra work out one or two times a week )

Number 3 The calories you do put in make the most of them by getting the widest range nutritional value as possible -Your body goes into stress every time you eat, eating the foods that will benefit you the most should be what you think of with every food choice.
Your body will suffer and take longer to adjust if it's working at low capacity.
Eating whole foods like Spirulina,hemphearts,whole oats,almonds,walnuts,dried fruit and all fruits and vegetables frequently through out the day (many snacks,no meals - will have your metabolism constantly at work)

Number 4 Building lean muscle with strength training, It takes more calories to sustain muscle then fat and your overall body burn everyday will be a higher number.
