You know, I burned 3,000/4hrs30mins or so// calories on Friday, then on Saturday I burned 3,602 calories/5hrs45mins. Today is Tuesday, and I workout 7 days a week. burning no less than 1,000 calories a day, and the last week or so I've amped it up to over 1,500 or more a day. I started out at 131. I'm at 135 today. I dont get it. Can someone explain?
I should be losing weight. And I'm most definately not over eating.

( i also have thyroid disease and im on my period, but i dont think that would much effect it this badly.)
 
I have a friend with thyroid problems and she works out three times more than I do, eats almost nothing (or has yogurt for lunch which is nuts ...to me) and she loses less fat than I do.

Having thyroid problems can affect the way you lose fat, I think. Based solely on my friend and also my mom (she has thyroid problems as well).

Am I to understand that you spent 4 hours inside a gym? In one day? Wow.

I'm certainly not very knowledgeable so don't assume all I say is a fact but I know it's very easy to underestimate the calories you consume a day.
I'm pixie small and I eat about 1200-1500 calories a day (I'm 105 lbs, 5'1'). I'm not on a specific diet, I just control portions of "not so good food and snacks (like cookies) and eat healthy. I work out 1 hour, 6 days a week. I eat very little compared to many people and I still manage to eat 1500 calories most days.

If say you're burning 1500 calories a day and you eat what I do then you won't lose weight because you're not burning more calories that you are consuming. Unless you're counting calories and fat calories you won't know for sure how many calories you're consuming.

It also depends on how you're counting the calories you think you've burned. I heard certain types of exercises aren't so good for burning fat. I did 2 hours stationary bike for a long time and never got the results I got doing 50 or 40 minutes of Taebo or TurboJam.
 
First of all, you're overtraining and freaking out your body. Dial it back. There is utterly no need for that kind of exercise/calorie burn.

Second of all, you haven't said anything about what you're eating. EAting is FAR more important than exercise in this equation. If you aren't getting enough nutrition (or the ight kind of nutrition) to support that level of exercise, then your body will respond by not letting go of excess weight.

Sure, thyroid issues make weight loss harder, but you have to be reasonable and sensible about it. 4+ hours a day of working out on a 1500 calorie diet is simply insane!
 
post your diet, and post your exercise. eating mostly carbs while doing a ton of cardio won't get you results. Which is the most common diet and exercise mistake i see. But without knowing what you're doing, we can't fine tune things.
