So for the past 9 months I have been off and on with exercising and trying to watch what I eat. My weakness was alcohol. I would drink/fight not to drink every night. However, the past 2 months I have been really working on it and haven't been drinking. If I have a slip up (3 nights so far in the past 2 months) I'm right back on track trying to lost the weight the next day.
I work an office type job so I am sitting most of my day (can't really help that). I exercise 5-6 days a week. I'm either on my stationary bike (resistance 6-9) for 30-45 minutes. Somedays I will do weight training (5-10 pounds) for 20-30 minutes and 20-30 minutes on the bike. Sometimes I will do cardio exercises or plyometrics type exercises (30-45 minutes) that are on the Internet or exercise videos.
I eat 1400-1600 calories depending on exercise. I use the LoseIt app to track my food.
I am 5'6 and weigh 200 pounds.
I have not lost any weight. I got to 199.4 pounds and the next day went right back to 200. I have not lost any inches. My clothes do not fit any different on me.
Whenever I look up "not losing weight with diet and exercise", I just read articles about people hitting a plateau after going through a period where the weight was just "dripping off" and now they're stuck. Not the case at all with me.
I'd think just stopping drinking 400+ excess calories every night and doing any bit of exercise after being pretty much sedentary for the past 3 years something would happen to my weight.
I was always fat growing up but once I stopped sitting all day long in school I dropped to around 160 when I was 19 not really trying. I started exercising and eating better after that (didn't track my calorie intake) and got down to 130. And that process was a breeze! I just exercised everyday, ate and had no problems!
After starting a full time job (40 hrs a week) and not moving around nearly as much as before the pounds just kept packing on fast.
I'm at a loss as to what to do to get my body to start changing again. I'm obviously going to stick with what I am doing right now because I do want to be healthier, but it's very discouraging that nothing is happening obviously. Any suggestions, tips, etc. are extremely welcome.
TL;DR: Exercising & eating healthy, not losing any weight/inches. Help!
