I have also had this problem and have not been able to solve it. I am on a two pound a week loss program, that leaves me approx 1400 calories a day. I do not even count my exercise calories. Most of the time I get a message saying I am not eating enough. I have tried eating a little more but that only seemed to add weight.…

My goal has been to lose weight and at the same time design my food intake to reflect what I enjoy eating. So far I have lost 26 pounds. I am learning, and maybe because of my age, losing weight is not only about calories in vs calories burned. I am extremely focused on my calorie intake, I record after every meal and also…

Make your goal more obtainable, maybe look to lose 20 pounds. Once you hit that goal set up for another 20. Believe you can do it and you will.

Looking over your food intake it seems reasonable. The aerobic exercise gives you an addition 200 cal, the resistance will not use up a lot of calories. You need to watch that eating out, that may be your problem. I am counting every calorie that goes into my food trap yet when I go out it is so difficult to do the count.…

You should be doing the strength training already. Strength training will help you loss weight, although at 155 you are in a great place.

If your calorie intake is 2000 a day and you consume 1500 a day, by the end of the week you will lose approx a pound a a half. Make sure you are eating a well balanced diet, keep an eye on your daily nutritional requirements. Exercise both cardio and resistance and eat your protein and you will not lose muscle. Keep an eye…

If you keep your weight loss goal the same, say one pound a week, of course as you lose weight your calorie requirements will drop. Do 30 min of cardio workout and you can gain additional calories to eat.

I do both cardio and resistance training. I will do 30 min on the street bike than 30 min on my stationary bike and 15 to 20 min of resistance. I bought a Total Gym, I can do a complete muscle workout in 15 to 20 min. As far as affording equipment, go on line, you can get used equipment at extremely low prices. So many buy…

Once a week. It takes a loss of approx 3000 cal to lose a pound. Weighing yourself every day can be disappointing, having to lose that many cal to lose a pound the possibility is to see a gain rather than a loss. The gain will usually be from retention of water. If you weight once a week there is a great chance to see a…

One other thing to think about, how often are you weighing yourself? Once a week is a good schedule, first thing in the morning. If calories going out is larger than calories going in you should be seeing a loss. Make sure you are recording every bit of food you take in, especially if you are not losing. Calibrate your…

I do log in my water in take, it's a good reminder to drink water throughout the day. It has not value in the over all calorie count. If one decides to record water, remember coffee and all the other drinks are mostly water and should be included.

I have been trying to lose weight for over two years, I had cut back on my portions and eliminated one of my meals and what do you think happened? I gained weight. I was told I built more muscle, I am starving myself so my body will not let the fat go, or something like that, LOL. Well I went to my doctor and he told me…

I think getting to the point where you start the weight loss is the hardest. The first week or two for me was difficult. I have been learning each day a little bit more about what bad eating habits I have been dealing with. I am past the place where eat when I am not hungry and have learned to read calories for what I am…
