Where am I going wrong?
Ok. This entire month my weight is standing completely still. I now have three months to drop 50lbs to make my goal. I understand at this point that may not happen, which is ok b/c in my mind I am a winner already b/c of all the fat I have taken off my body anyways. I still do not understand where I am going wrong. Why haven’t I lost or even gained a pound the entire month, even with THANKSGIVING!! LOL! I workout 5-6 days a week. I can admit I never 100% monitor my calories but I am careful to not take in more than 1450 calories a day. I was once told to take the weight you wnat to be and add 0 to the end and that is the amount of calories you consume. Great no biggie! I know I drink enough water (like 3-4 liters a day). I am very careful with what food goes in to my mouth even when I am not detailing the calories. I have considered taking Lipo6, to help me pass this hump. Is there something more I can be doing?
Sometimes, I do wonder though if maybe I am not targeting my muscle groups in the best day. So I am curious what everyones schedule is at the gym. What days do you work what muscles? What muscles do you work together and why? I general work shoulders, abs, legs, arms, etc. on certain days. Could or should I be doing two each day so I can work them more times a week. What do you do? Why do you put them together? What is the most effective?
I know the numbers shouldn’t matter, it should matter how I feel and how I am looking but I can’t help but wonder why the number wont move when I am still busting my butt in the gym.
Anywho. I truly appreciate you taking the time to read this. I thank you all in advance for any help, advice, or directions you can help me with.
Take care!

I’m not sure what your diet is, but carbs are usually a huge factor. Also, don’t always let the scale be your guide in your success. There have been many times I’ve not lost pounds, but close fit looser.
Have you ever considered a Total Body workout? Ever tried HIIT?
Your looking great IMO

Nope never considered Total Body never dont HIIT. But I do 30-40 minutes of cardio 6 days a week. My cardio I do interval workouts on it. I am getting back in to spinning 1-2 times a week, so we will see how that works. My diet is very very strict. I have a nutritionist I have been working with. LOL! Trust me I have dedicated myself to do this and doing whatever it takes. LOL. Oh thanks for the compliment too. I appreciate that.

Recheck that diet girl, & try swtching things up in the gym. Everyone has times like these i got stuck at 180. Then i had to switch it up in the gym i started a new exercise program & and really watched what i ate more than what i already do.
Good luck to you

Also Total body workouts are great for really burning cals.

It might be possible..
that you are not eating enough…
Back in 2003 I dropped a huge amount of weight.. then leveled off until I increased my calories just enough..
Then the weight started coming off again

Your not eating enough. The technique you used to calculate your calories is EXTREMELY flawed.

Hey girl I gotta chime in 2!! I think everyone is right…you need to bump up the calories…sounds crazy but it works!! Also take a look at the carbs!! Don’t forget that your body adjust to things very quickly and if you follow the same routine everyday your body will adjust and it stops working. You have to come out of your comfort zone and change things up a little! You can do it…ya know you can!!

Thanks everyone for your response. I will try bumping them up to 1600 calories and see what happens. I already think I eat entirely too much. I always feel so full. But I notice some days I do find myself feeling really hungry all the time. So maybe that is the key. I will check in to that. I will start looking in to some classes, including getting back in to spinning and see what happens.
Thank you again for all of your responses I TRULY APPRECIATE THEM ALL!!
