I've been calorie counting and exercising, but nothing has come off - WHY? |
I'm 32 and have gained about 45 lbs over the past few years. I'm a yo-yo dieter - done all the fad diets, lost 20-30 pounds, and then gained it all back + some. I decided to do it right this time... I'm keeping my calories to about 1000-1400 per day. Trying to keep fat, carbs, sodium lower, fiber up. Eating well-balanced meals - ie, last night I had fish and sauteed spinach. Exercising regularly - walking, aerobics classes, biking. I think I'm doing everything right, but NO RESULTS! It's been about 3 weeks. 1 week was "getting into it" (I cheated a bit), but 2 solid weeks of discipline. According to me calories in vs calories burnt (and I track everything, every day) I should be losing a steady 2-3 lbs per week. After 2 weeks, I lost 3 lbs. Got on the scale this morning and NOTHING. It's so frustrating. Can it be that my body needs something else to jolt it into weight loss mode? Bodies are not coin-operated machines. Especially female ones. If you're doing a permament lifestyle change, why are you asking for yo-yo diet type results? Take the attitude that you don't know your 'ideal weight' and that if you treat your body with respect, it will 'find' it for you. Look at your project as long term. Kinda life-long term. Continue doing everything you stated, and add an extra apple or two a day and two or three more glasses of water. (Extra fiber and water to move it never hurts.) Use the scale simply to make sure you're not gaining. You will be svelte and sleek within a year, and remain that way the rest of your life. Can't that be good enough as a goal? Interesting.. maybe you should try doing more cardio and limiting your "strenght" traing (you know crunches, sit-ups etc..). There is a possibility that you could have replaced fat with muscle therefore making your weight stay the same. Soo yea just try doing more cardio :) you should really try l.a weight loss. i have lost 12 lbs. and it is so easy. you eat what you want when you want just limites a little. It is great Try using something to cleanse the body. Rid all the toxins from the body then see what happens. You will first lose a lot of water from your body the first 3 to 4 weeks. Then they body seems to rest for a while, then in the next stage it will begin to lose body fat. You don't lose everything at once, if you did your body would reject the shock of the lost and regain weight [double of what you where] I have lost 5 lbs in the past two weeks and now in the last 2 weeks nothing I am still working out and on my diet and know that soon I will begin losing again. I was 165 I need to get down to 145. It will probably take me 7 to 8 months to really lose what is necessary.... Good luck I would eat more protein. 1000 calories is on the low side. When I added a protein drink to my diet I lost another 10 pounds. Makes no sense. What I did was keep carbs low, lots of leafy vegetables and tomatoes and low fat protein foods. Fish, chicken and beef. Drink water, 8 glasses. No sugar in any form dont give up you are on the right track, stay focused and dont quit, that happened to me also, you need to measure your arms,waist, chest. i didnt notice a change in weight but did in measurements, you are gaining muscle, which weigh more than fat, people would tell me i look like i lost weight, but the scale didnt say that, and you probably feel your clothes fitting better, just continue to do what you are doing and remember you didnt gain it all so fast so its going to take lots of time to get it off, but eventually your metabolic rate will come up and you will see results on the scale, weigh yourself just every 2 weeks, the time table needs to be longer, say you will lose and keep off at least 10 lbs by end of year then in2008 another 10 lbs, etc, what you are accomplishing is not gaining and losing slowly and getting healthier, so DO NOT GIVE UP, maybe you can strive to exercise everyday. even for 20 minutes. and make EVERY meal count, get a work out buddy and read books about health and exercise, you can always learn and try something different and new, |
