why aint i losing weight

If you had your food diary set to public, I'm sure we could help you out a little better. =]

Also, while yoga is awesome and very beneficial it really doesn't burn that many calories...It's more for flexibility, strength, and relaxation. Try adding more cardio like running, zumba, or aerobics, and compliment that wih strenth training like pilates or lifitng weights.

I've got 25 lbs to lose and I'm excited about the journey....Nothing worth a darn ever happens overnight. Losing weight is like a full time job. Read labels and stay away from fast food. Make it a game you really want to win....kinda like going for a job promotion but do this to impress yourself!! If you look better, you'll feel better. Be patient and consistent....stay away from salt and the bad fats....No soda or DIET SODA!! And if it says DIET or HEALTHY on the label...r;un the other way....that's just marketing BS trying to suck you in....lol! Your in control of everything that goes in your mouth, so prepare your own meals so that you know what the heck is in it.....Watch your sodium/potassium intake...potassium should be 4x greater than your sodium intake or you will get FLUFFY..fat. Fast food= 4-5x more sodium that potassium....backwards for sure!

Good luck to us all!

i was doing a diet and gave up i do yoga a bit and still nothing says i lost then gained again ugh whazpt am i doing wrong it shouldnt b this hard :-(

Is this a serious question? Do you actually wonder why you haven't been successful? Do you think that people who are successful at losing weight do things like "give up," exercise "a bit" & complain about it being "this hard"? I assure you...we don't.

You aint losing weight because you're not willing to commit to the process.

ETA: I just took a look at your profile & didn't realize you were that young. So you likely aren't familiar with the level of commitment & dedication it really takes to lose weight. Sorry honey, you're gonna have to put in work, & dwelling on the unfairness of it all won't do a bit of good. But as the others said, if you make your food diary public maybe you can get some suggestions on what you should be eating, because nutrition is even more important than exercise when it comes to fat loss.

If you want to make some meaningful progress that will motivate you to continue, you're going to have to get your nutrition in order. Exercise will help, just know that trying to do a little something like yoga here & there isn't going to make that much of a difference. Put yourself on a schedule & require yourself to stick to it, even if it's just twice a week. It's the habit that's more important than the actual activity. As you get used to the regular exercise, you'll naturally get more motivated to do more & do it more frequently.

i made it public but zhe diet was for 2 weeks and i did like week and a half and i was suppose to lose about 3-4.pounds but didnt and it was about 1100 calories a day and the diet was getting so borin eatin same thing so maybe i need to get a fitness dvd or something cuz my weight keeps going up and down.

Unrealistic expectations is a great setup for failure.

First, while it's still fresh in mind, pick some days in your Diary and log some common days worth of eating. Really try to remember and log everything you might normally would have had in a day, for several days if you did different foods.
If you ate packaged and fast food it's easier to do that backtracking.

Now, avg those days of how much you ate.

Say you were eating 250 more cal's than required to maintain weight.
Now subtract another 1000 off that, so 1250 total.

That's what you set your goal to. That is 2lbs per week potential, but even then, not likely.

And you now visually see, you are now going to eat a whole lot less than you use to. And no silly restriction down at 1100 that wasn't going to give you 3-4 lbs anyway.

Listen to Heybales advice above.
It doens't have to be so hard if you don't make it that way and don't expect that you can "diet" for 2 weeks and the weight will fall off.
No matter what promises you read from the next fancy diet or pill or machine or sweatsuit, the common factor when people lose weight is that they eat a little less and/or move a little more.
All or nothing (and I consider eating 1100 cals a day as good as nothing!) just doesn't work. You've proved that to yourself.
Now, go and set up a moderate goal, plan some healthy meals, fit in a bit of exercise. If you do this for a few months, I'd be really surprised if you don't lose weight.

Seriously though, stick to your calorie goals, follow the advice in this thread, and be persistent and patient. You will lose weight.

5'6 and no i didnt i will tho

At 5 6" you should definately be eating more than you are. Try changing your goals when you can and hang in there.

Diet Soda messes with your blood sugar levels and makes you feel hungry.....I also saw a segment on Dr. Oz the other day about it..check out his website...maybe it's on there. Anything diet usually contains artificial sweeteners and there's nothing but bad news all the time about those...you're better off eating real sugar if you need sweet.....Stevia is a great alternative if you need to have sweet drinks. Stevia is food for the pancreas which helps to balance blood sugar...great for diabetics! Dr. Tei Fu Chen's picture and message is on the back of the box of Stevia at Sprouts or use to be....hmm. Dr. Chen also makes a liquid form of Stevia which is always better than powder.

Your problem is a lack of a period, which causes water retention. Try periods and see what happens.

The best thing to do is use one of the calorie workouts where you in put your age, height and weight, then it tells you how many calories to stick to and how many to stick within if you want to lose say 1lbs a week etc.

Aswell as sticking within the calories check your intake of foods and how much fat, sodium and carbs are in them as this could be something which may be high.

And some exercise with that will help too. x

Remember this day. I promise you after you are on this site for a few months you will look back at this post and laugh. For many reasons!
