Urrgghh! FML!
About two years ago I was at about 200 lbs. I stopped eating as much as I could (literally 1000 to 1500 calories/day) and went to the gym 3 times a week. In ten weeks I was able to go down to 170/175. Since then, I began to neglect my exercise and have tried on and off to go to the gym. Fast forward to this summer, my jeans started ripping and I took it as a sign that I needed to get in shape (these were jeans that I fitted in when I was at 200 lbs albeit the fact that they were skinny jeans).
About a month ago, I decided to force myself to go to the gym every single day and gave myself one day off in the week in case I was too tired. So essentially 6/week I was at the gym running on the machines until it told me I hit 500 calories/4+miles/45+mins. (Usually by the time I hit 500 calories I would have ran 4.3 miles in 46-47 minutes)
I looked up my calorie intake calculator thingy and it says to maintain my weight I need 3000 calories per day, I usually eat 2000-2500 (not including the burned calories) and two weeks ago I weighed myself at 187/192, today I weighed myself again....at 187/192. WTF for two weeks I didn't lose a single pound?!?!!?
I am so disappointed in myself right now.
