Specifically, I kept myself to: No soda, sugar less than 24g / day,
less than 1000 cals/day, and 2 hours of cardio a few times a week. I was hooked to 1 Redbull a day, so I switched to the sugar free version.
I expected some great results, afterall none of my friends go to the gym, and they pretty much eat/drink what they want. To my surprise, I didn't lose anything.
So two weeks ago my dad got me a personal trainer and a nutritionist to help. They tested my metabolic rate, told me it was 1135 cals/day. They tested my heart rate during exertion and told me my fat burning zones. I workout with the trainer doing weights and resistance exercises 2 hrs/ week, plus about 2 hours on my own between sessions, and I am doing cardio at least 1 hour a day all within my fat burning zone.
I'm having trouble eating 1200 calories, I usually hit 800-1000 every day. My HR monitor's calorie count (which was calibrated to my metabolic rate, age, height, and weight) says I burn about 800-1100 calories every workout day.
So, Why.... if I'm burning 800 calories in exercise, and in theory 1137 calories just existing, am I Gaining weight? Sure, muscle...but when I started this process I weighed 126 lbs, and today I weighed in at 131, and my trainer scolded me. But I've been eating only the foods they said I could, I've counted my calories, and I've even added extra activities to my day besides my religious cardio like sitting in the sauna, cleaning, and taking the dog for long walks... I'm getting really depressed that I just can't make any progress. If anyone has any suggestions, please share!View Thread
I usually buy chicken breasts, skinless and boneless and I cook it different ways except fried. The other day I put two breasts in a pan and put a little olive oil, added chopped garlic and green onions. Put the chicken in and used seasonings and some teriyaki sauce which added more flavor to the chicken. Since I ate a big salad I didnt have any thing with chicken and that was fine. I drink ice tea during summer and bought green tea bags. I have a ice tea maker and when it brews and goes to the pitcher, it makes about 3 quarts. I just my own sweetener in my sipper and some lemon. Hopefully that this new regimen I am doing which shed some weight. I also go to the gymn about 4 times a week and do the elliptical for 30 minutes and use my exercise ball at home. Wish me luck with my new schedule and keeping on tract.

I am desperate to lose 10 pounds. I weigh 132 pounds. height 163 cm. And I am 27.
I have tried the south beach diet, It worked but it is restrictive. And I exercise 2 times a week (spinning, walking, abs, squats). I cant do more than that.
Please advise.
Also, when i am not dieting I eat a maximum of 1200 calories, although it is advised I eat around 1700 calories!
What do I do to lose weight!View Thread
I told all of this to my doctor, you know what he says: that's the problem, fruit is loaded with sugar. If you are making smoothies every morning with fruit the calories, it's not good idea. I was flabbergasted, never in my wild imagination that I would told that smoothies are not good. He said that fruit are loaded with sugar and is bad when you are trying to lose weight.

My story: Somehow, between my senior year of high school and now, at age 24, I went from 120 lbs to my current 145. Okay, I know EXACTLY how it happened--stress, lack of knowledge regarding proper nutrition, a major life change, and lots of time on my hands. At any rate, I'm finally in a place where I'm ready to lose this weight and get back to my feel-good weight. I want to look and feel my best before my life starts as a law student.
My challenges: As I mentioned, I'm currently living at home with my parents, and I am finding it very, very difficult to maintain calorie goals/a healthy diet as long as I'm here. My mom often cooks high-calorie foods for my brothers and dad, and I have a hard time resisting. Exercise is also difficult. We do have a treadmill in the basement, but the challenge is working around my little brother's schedule (he practically lives down there, and as long as he's down there, I'm not to disturb him by running on the treadmill). Though challenging, the food and fitness obstacles are just that--obstacles. I know I can overcome them. It is ultimately my CHOICE. However, I think a little support would help me stay motivated. That's why I joined this community.
If anyone has any advice or insight or just wants to say hello and share their story, please do! I'd love to connect with others out there hoping to get in shape!View Thread

I haven't been hungry for three days. The first day I was busy, and didn't eat a thing, and never got hungry. The second, I made sure I ate some chicken, but still wasn't hungry, and only ate 300 calories. The third day, despite not being hungry, I ate normally. Before I got to lunch my stomach was so bloated and discended I looked several months pregnant!
This is not a loss of appetite, its a feeling of being full (sometimes not even full, just not hungry).
I also have noticed increased thirst for several weeks.View Thread
