Working out and dieting like crazy and not losing any weight?



I have belonged to a gym for about 3 weeks now and I am only gaining weight (and not muscle...because pants that used to fit me are now too tight)

I have been dieting...about 1000 calories/ day

I am 5'3" about 140 and i do 33 minutes on the elliptical a day, followed by 20 minutes on the stationary bike and then i do nautilus weights for about 30 minutes....

somehow, i am only getting bigger!

I am on Kariva birth control, Effexor and Xanax

is there any reason why i am putting in all of this effort and getting results in the opposite direction??

I'm beginning to get extremely upset and frustrated

You're not eating enough. Take in about 1,700 calories with a 50-30-20 Protein-Carb-Fat ratio. Once your body adjusts (and you may gain for a short time while it adjusts) you'll start dropping weight again. Right now you're starving your body, even if you don't feel hungry. I hope this helps.
thats because you are not eating enough to lose fat - you are depriving your body so metabolism slows down.
find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have lean meat (protein) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min, light weight training
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, past etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried, oily.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)
