I'm feeling a bit discouraged. I've been soooooo good with my diet and I've also been working so hard at the gym. I did 6 hours at the gym last week and another 5 hours this week so far (hard work I tell you!)so I was expecting to see a drop in my weight. up I went on the scale and I HAVE NOT LOST ONE SINGLE POUND!!!!!!!. I kept changing the scale from pound to stone to kilos and it was the same. I have just come back from the gym,doing Legs, bums and tums and a grinding bounce class. I was good at the weekend. The weather has been hot so i have been drinking water so well and have even reduced the amount of food I'm eating. I have done everything so well and what do I get for it? not even a slight dropof weight. I need an explanation. when do i start seeing a drop in weight?. it's not enough for me to build stamina, I want to see that i have dropped some weight. What has all my effort come to?. I wouldn't feel this discouraged if i haven't tried this much. None of my family members can see any change, my church members can't see a difference,so who am i going to ask?
Anyway, I'm not going to give up. My mind is made up to lose this weight now so i'm going to stick to it. I CAN ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS. ME

Forget the scales for now and start MEASURING!!! With all that working out and watching what you eat it would have definitely made a difference. I can guarantee you have lost in inches but maybe gained weight or maintained due to the muscle built during your workouts (muscle weighs more than fat and muscle replaces fat).
You're doing great and you will see a change very soon. Keep it up!

I agree with DeeChick. For your weight you should keep your calories to 1100 per day. Maybe up to 1200, and maybe down to 1000 but stay in that range. Also, do not count your exercise because you are probably overestimating how hard you are working. One pound is 3500 calories - your total for the day has to be 500 calories lower than normal for you to lose one pound in a week. So, if you run 5 miles a day and eat the same, or else run 3 miles a day and eat 200 calories less than normal, you will lose one pound a week. At this point, you are still eating a lot (1300 is a lot) and exercising a medium amount. Good luck!

You may not be fueling your metabolism enough for the workout your doing. Think of your metabolism like an engine, if you don't fuel it, it won't run efficiently. You might do better varying your caloric intake. Eat 1500 one day 1200 the next, etc. Eating less, doesn't always equal more weight loss. Also, sore muscles retain water to help them heal which shows as a gain or no loss on the scale sometimes (temporary). I can't tell you how many times I have seen people go out to eat, and drop 3 or 4 pounds. Watch your sodium content, and try to stay away from processed type foods. No matter what you are becoming healthier. Keep changing things up till you find what is working. Each person's caloric needs are different. You may be one of those people that have to eat more to lose. Good luck!
