I think I'm going backwards. I've tried eating all my calories, not eating all my calories, changing up my work out with cardio and strength training and my measurements have remained the same and I'm gaining weight. Starting weight 175lbs May 11, 2009: 172.6 June1, 2009: 178.4 Not sure what else to do.

It's official. I am now discouraged. I don't know what to do anymore. I've tried eating all of my calories, I've tried leaving some, I've tried cardio 5 times a week, went down to twice a week with strength training twice a week with a personal trainer (doesn't understand either) and I have gained weight on the scale and…

I might just do that. I didn't feel right eating those exercise calories... It felt like cheating. Thank you so much for all of your advice... Thank you for all the support you guys are giving. You're all amazing!!!

I guess I'll have to invest in HRM. It's just so frustrating. Thanks for the advice! I'll "run" with it...
