50 DAYS! Insignifigant weight loss!
Yes, inches are gone, ten to be exact, but come on! If I am suppose to be loosing weight, then why am I the same? I rarely weigh myself, but felt the need. NOTHING...I will measure again at the end of the month.
I work out 30 min four days a week, burning 300-490 calories. Two days cardio, two days strength. I am eating half the exercise calories back, I am eating 1500 calories on a normal day. I have tried less, more, I am at a true loss.
I lost weight before, and now its like moving sludge. Yes my indurance is increasing, yes I feel better, and yes happy about inches, but the weight should be moving and I have no clue why.
Very concerned.

So you've gotten physically and visibly smaller, right? But the number on the scale, which no one sees but you, hasn't changed? I don't see a problem here. Water weight is probably masking any fat loss.0

i'd happily drop a dress size and stay the same weight, it's only a number, but i dress shape is about loving your figure!0

I think you need to get your priorities straight. So if you dropped 15 lbs but your measurements all stayed the same, you'd be happier??0
-
Somewhat smaller, tighter, but really, not that great. It has really got me upset.0
-
So you'd rather look worse, and have a small scale number?0

No, not at all, but I need to drop the pounds for insurance etc. If my BMI was better, I would be ok. Its more about 50 days with limited success, and I am overwhelmed with information.
MY PRIORITIES...? Getting through graduation with my only child!0 -
Stop now, before you lose more inches!!!0

If you are sure your scale is accurate then you are probably retaining water. If you haven't been weighing yourself regularly, I would begin doing so, at least for a while. Weight can fluctuate quite a bit due to water, especially in women.0

I get where you're coming from. After working hard we expect to see at least some results in the number on the scale. I don't know much about why it isn't going down but keep working at it! I do know that if you stop working at it then it will probably go up, and we certainly don't want that.
have you tried looking at your sodium? When I stop losing it is usually when I have had too much sodium the last few days and so I'm holding on to a lot of weight...0 -
Point is being misunderstood.
Shouldn't my weight go down?0 -
you are probably replacing fat with muscle, muscle weighs more. so you won't see a loss in weight, but inches. I would think that is a good thing0

BMI is not that reliable of a number. If you're losing inches but not losing pounds, you're likely gaining muscle; muscle weighs more than fat, so you're not seeing the scale move as much as you would like. Chances are, you're more toned and stronger?0

I really love being a woman...0 -

Really? so ignorant.0 -
I just flipped back through a few weeks of your diary. You seem to be fairly inconsistent in terms of your calorie intake, and some days aren't logged at all. How about starting today, and for the next 50 days, log every day, and hit your numbers are precisely as possible. You may need to make some tweaks and adjustments, but you can only really do that with confidence after you've built up some consistent logging history.0

Oh, lord.0 -
Reduce sodium. If you see no weight loss, I bet you're retaining water. You want to stay UNDER 1500 mg if possible. If not, exercise more or drink more water. Your body is holding onto excess water because you've too much sodium in your diet.0

BTW...I take a diuretic each day.

I had that same issue and I felt like I was working my butt off for nothing but when I compared pictures of me from before I started and now I can see significant progress I'm smaller and tighter. The scale says I weigh more now than I did before I started but hey I look a thousand times better. Don't focus on the scale it is deceiving instead concentrate on the inches you've lost that means your losing fat and you're liking gaining muscle too which is good because it will burn more calories at rest and you'll get into shape even faster. Be proud of yourself you're doing great!0
