After 3 Weeks of Daily Exercise My Clothes are TIGHTER!

Are you sure you're not allergic to wheat or have a sensitivity to gluten?

Could be a portion control issue... Sometimes we think we are consuming less than we are ... You may POSSIBLY be one of the ones who really should eat MORE calories in order to lose... There is much written on this site about "starvation mode"... If you go too low, you could set that phenomenon off... I am not a big "Starvation mode" advocate but I do think in a few cases it may be a factor. Another thing... You may want to see your doctor to make sure you don't have hypo-active thyroid, fluid retention secondary to heart issues, etc... Only a doctor can make those determinations.

Well your body could be retaining water and that will easily make you look like you gained extra weight, your clothes will fit tighter and you will just feel horrible.. But you can easily lose water weight as well just keep working out and sweating.. Make sure you still drink 8 or more cups of water per day.. Cut out any other drinks just DRINK WATER ONLY... I know water sucks but it will get the job done.. Also, dont find out the hard way.. you say you have been working out 2x per day for 3 wks no rest? YOU COULD POSSBILY BE OVER TRAINING.. AND THATS NOT GOOD. Which your body is in freakout mode and wont lose ne pounds inches or nuthin...So, give at least 1-2 rest days and just walk or do nuthin.. then cont. to workout you know like Mon-Fri.. and always change up your routine. NEVER LET YOUR BODY GET USE TO YOUR WORKOUTS...

Also, If you still are not losing weight it could be health related and to ppl around mid 20's- 30's and on..
THYROID problems will easily make it to no matter what you are doin you will not lose weight.. so just make sure thats not an issue as well...

ALSO, JUST KEEP AT IT YOU KNOW, THERE IS NO QUICK FIX EVER! YOU GOT THIS!

u havent logged yet? time to get to it lol

I think you're right about the cals.... I just signed up for this site.. so I haven't logged on her

If you haven't logged how do you know you're under calories? Losing weight is 70% food, 20% exercise and 10% mental. You can lose weight without exercising (though I don't recommend it. Exercise for health) but you can't outtrain a bad diet. I used to do heavy softball training as a teenager every day of the week. Fitness, pitching you name it. At best I maintained because I ate like crap.

Start logging, measure your food and you'll be surprised what will happen.

a slice of bread and broccoli aren't that big of a difference calories wise

There's a huge difference between broccoli and bread. Huge. If you feel that you want/need the bread why not try cutting back to one slice of bread (or even a half-slice) and having the broccoli? I would avoid eating the same thing every day. It's not hard to get burnt-out.

I logg daily the old fashion way, with pen and paper lol its more therapeutic for me I guess...

When I say I think its the cals I mean I literally think my body wants me to severely eat under my target goal.. I'm thinking 1000... whether I'm over or under by a couple hundred reall shouldn't matter because I'm not eating over 2500 and I'm exercising my butt off.... well on my butt looks huge now lmaoooo I do a lot of step aerobics I feel like I did yhe brazilian butt lift by accident lmaoo.. anyhow my food is premeasured/pre-prepared I take a pack of chicken breast cook it up and eat it over two days.. a couple slices from a loaf of bread, and bbq from a bottle..not much room for error.. if after 2 days a whole loaf or even a half is gone and a whole bottle of bbq id be like wait a min lol but its not the case I'm still working on the same bote of bbq and bread.. from more than 5 days ago....

To the person who suggested broccoli great minds think a like lol.. because I woke up thinking that... my only concern is.. a slice of bread and broccoli aren't that big of a difference calories wise.. and my body should have no problems with the bread...I kinda just don't feel like tweaking something.. that shouldn't have to be tweaked, I mean really I can't have bread.. I wish that was the case...

A slice of bread and a cup of broccoli are HUGELY different. Depending on the bread, you're looking at 80-120 cals a slice, with a small amount of fiber. With a cup of broccoli, you're looking at only 30 cals. You can eat 4 cups of broccoli instead of one slice of bread plus you get iron and calcium and other good stuff (fiber!). That's a LOT of broccoli (I can't eat more than about 1.5 cups at a time.)

Over 2 lbs of chicken in 2 days?

Are you measuring each portion when you eat it? I was very surprised to find that a 4 oz serving of chicken was about half of a breast; depending on the breast, it could be less. 2 lbs is 16 ounces, that's 4 four-ounce servings. so, ok for lunch and dinner, fine; I suppose I can see that.

I'm your height and 42 years old. I started at 196 lbs fairly recently.

One thing my doc and nutritionist have me doing is taking a fiber supplement before meals, three times a day. It makes you feel full faster and helps eliminate waste if you aren't getting enough fiber in your diet. And if you aren't eating any veggies, you aren't getting enough fiber.

I think you need more variety in your diet. Tuna, eggs, salmon, spinach, broccoli, salads or broth before the meal fruit as a snack. . .

Have you checked with a doctor or nutritionist before starting to try to do this, just to check for underlying issues (insulin resistance, thyroid issues, anemia?)
