I am 36 years old and a mother of two. I have been "thick" all of my life, but now looking back...I wasn't as big as I felt. As an adult and after having two kids, the weight wont come off and it keeps increasing. I work out, eat healthy and fight with the same 14 lbs for the past 3 years. My doctor diagnosed me with having metabolic syndrome - minus the high BP. basically my body doesn't turn the insulin into glucose...it makes it into sugar, sugar=fat. I think thats how it works. Been taking meds for it and so has my best friend. She started in Jan and lost 55 lbs so far...I started in mid April and lost...you got it...14 lbs. Now im stuck in the 14 lb rut and i gotta get out...I am losing motivation and that scares me. But with no results, whats to be motivated about?

Confused
Okay, Im confused. This says my RDI is 2200 kcal. That means I can eat 2200 calories a day? That seems like alot. I lowered it to 1800 and am still not consuming that many. I am 5'3 and 243 lbs. How many should I be taking in and how may should I be burning? If Im reading this right,
I take about 1600 in and burn 3500...without a workout? That just seems off...please explain this to me...Doubt
