Instead of weight loss, I'm actually gaining?
Have any of you had a similar situation or have any ideas of what could be going on with my body? I'm not new to weight loss and eating right. Over the course of several years, I've gone from 220 to 140 lbs. I'm currently 25 and 5'5. I work out (usually) at the very least 2 times a week (cardio/strength). I eat 1300…

5'4-5'6, 135 - 145 lb. ladies : how many calories?
Ladies that are 5'4 - 5'6 in height, 135 - 145 lbs. in weight - how many calories to you eat to lose? I tried to eat 1200 on non-workout days, but I found myself a bit too hungry. So I've recently upped it to 1300 (non-workout) and around 1500 (workout days). I'm 5'5, 140 lbs. and have been stuck here for a while - despite…

2 1/2 Month Plateau
Okay, this is going to be a bittt lengthy, and I apologize beforehand! I could call this a two year plateau (as 140 is what I've weighed for two years now), but I've only been truly counting every calorie and working out for 2 1/2 months. When I started losing weight, I was 220 lbs. and I am 140 now. I'm 5'5 and 24 years…

weight gain after stomach virus?
Tuesday, the scale showed 138 lbs. I came down with an awful stomach virus on Wednesday - couldn't keep anything down. I only ate a few crackers and drank a 12 oz. gatorade and water. Thursday, I was feeling a bit better, but still didn't eat very much. I was able to drink another 12 oz. gatorade, water, and eat chicken…

Where do you eat out when sticking to calorie goal?
Hey guys! I am trying to come up with a list of restaurant entrees that won't push me way over my calorie goal! I've done a good job at A. just avoiding eating out altogether or B. going places that have skinny menus (i.e. Olive Garden, Cheesecake Factory, Applebees, Chillis, etc.). However, tomorrow issss valentines, so I…

140 lbs., weight loss is slooowww!
I guess I am mainly looking for motivation or affirmation that I am doing things the correct way! I am 5'5 and have gone from 220 lbs. to 140 (yay!). However, since hitting 140, weight loss has completely stalled (for a very long time). And this is probably my fault. I hit 140 almost two years ago and quickly discovered…

Eating healthy, running/exercising, and seeing no change.
I am a 23-year-old female, 5'5; 149 lbs. When I graduated college, I went from 140 to 149 lbs. simply because I am not walking as much (I probably walked 2 miles or more on campus every day). While I used to not have to worry about my weight, it is more of an effort now to maintain. I have been focusing on eating 1200…
