So past two weeks I've eaten nearly like a saint, had one cheat day that was a homemade burger and later a tri-tip sandwich. other than that almost nothing but lean meats, fruits primarily grapes, veggies primarily carrots, some bread, always whole or multi-grain almost no processed foods. walking 4 miles a day at work on a desk treadmill, after that 2 hours at the gym of running,ab-carver pro,rowing, pushing, biking, lifting, stairs, squats this amount of sweat in an air conditioned gym as a result. there's not a second i was conscious or where I wasn't in pain or high discomfort from workouts. was about 219-221, dropped down to 211, super happy then back up to 216-218... being head over heels for the first time in my life i want to lose every ounce of excess weight, all of this would have been completely worth it except i lost vitrually no weight, like i might as well been doing nothing and eating the same crap I always have been, fast food every other day, corndogs, ramen... I'd starve myself for her if I had to but i have a half hour commute and passing out would not be ideal. all this for two measly pounds? i'm considering trying that cohen's diet if it's possible to do so from the US. Luckily my time in the army has taught me to carry on despite 0 moral, but how do people keep their morale up when all their hard work has amounted to almost nothing?
awful results, completely demoralizing

Loosing weight is not easy, and over doing the exercise won't help, it is all to do with diet. although you are eating healthier you can still over eat.
How many calories are you consuming each day ?
have you taken body measurements or measures your bodyfat % ?
it is possible you have gained muscle while loosing fat which may result in no change on the scales.
There are several members here that have been successful with cohens of those the most active is cate

You have to just keep at it! No one gets there easily or quickly, as trusylver said, it could also be muscle replacing fat, which would keep the weight around the same.

Hi
firstly I want you to know that losing weight is not easy but it's not impossible so I want you to Expect problems and try eat them for breakfast.
It's seems that your working out looks very good, so as Trusylver and Iria said that gained more muscle could be the reason.
So don't give and push yourself and I'm sure you will Get what you want
Hope you the best .

I don't worry much about my diet, do it mostly through moderate intensity exercise.
2 weeks I haven't found to be enough.
The effects build up. As people have said you may have gained muscle.
Honestly throughout most of my weight loss I've only ever weighed myself a couple of times. I'm more interested in being fit and generally healthy (in a relaxed way)

Hey Zerosteve.
This is a common theme for people wanted to lose weight.
You need to remember its only been two weeks!
Firstly you need to know your weight will vary day-to-day due to a number of factors (e.g. water, food, salt). So I wouldn't worry too much about your weight over 2 weeks. Whats more important is the long term picture. Yeah sure it will go up 1 week then come down another but you want to see a long term trend of it slowly coming down.
Two weeks isn't long enough to know what your body is doing. One of my clients didn't see any results for 3 weeks (she put weight on in week 2) then BOOM! It just started falling off. So hang in there my man, It will happen.
The other factor I want to hammer in is nutrition! It's the most important thing.
It's hard to tell from your post but there is not good fats mentioned. You definitely need this. There's a reason they are called essential fatty acids. Also it doesn't say how much you eating.
As you are busting out your workouts you need to make sure you are eating enough (not too much or starving yourself) and getting the right amount of macros i.e. carbs, proteins, and fats (unless you are doing a low carb/no carb approach e.g paleo).
Hope this helps more than is confusing
