Quick question..
I eat about 1800 calories a day and work out 4 or 5 days a week at the gym for roughly an hour. I walk on the treadmill, use the stationary bike, and the elliptical. My weight has not budged though. I weigh 155 lbs and am trying to lose about 15 lbs. Any ideas as to why im not losing any?

Under my calories but at my goal for carbs
So I've noticed now that I'm trying to watch my carbs, i keep falling under my calories by a good chunk. I eat plenty of food and I dont feel hungry, but watching carbs along with exercise puts me at usually 300-500 calories under. Like today, for example. Is that bad? My bmr is about 1500, and thats my daily goal. Any…

Carbs
I am ALWAYS over on my carbs everyday. But i feel like if I dont eat carbs, i dont feel full. I can eat tons of fruit and veggies and meat, but that doesnt keep me full for very long. But if I eat some crackers or a sandwich, I feel satisfied and fuller for longer. Is it bad to eat a lot of carbs? Its so hard to cut back…

To eat organic or not?
Ok guys and girls, I need opinions here. Ive been looking into eating more organically. I know its a little pricey, and it wont make me lose weight any faster. But it is healthier. I just want to know what everyone thinks about it. Is it worth it? Anybody notice any good changes when they started eating more organically?

I dont get it..
I dont get how some people can go all day without snacking and only eat like 1200 calories, but Im always hungry and find it hard to even stay under my 1600 calories. I wish I just wasnt so hungry and then maybe I wouldnt snack so much..:grumble:
