Hey everyone, well ive been on my journey 6 months now this is my 7th. At first i basically starved myself and exercised lots. But then i realised that wasnt healthy for me so i upped my calories to like 1700 a day sometimes more dependant on my exercise schedule. Most days im on my feet from like 5.45 in the morning till around 9.00 at night. I do up to 3 aerobics classes, weights, and more cardio in the gym and it works. Well at least it did, i will weigh myself and ill have dropped 3 lbs but when i get back on like two days later and those 3 lbs are back on again and sometimes an added pound. Ive been stuck at my current weight of around 183 lbs now for around 6 weeks.

Amitedly ive got really annoyed at certain points and given into temptation. But ive always got back on the wagon and worked my ass off and it just wont budge. It cant be a plateau cause it goes up and down all the time. I have stuck to my diet religously for the last 4 weeks now and it wont budge. What am i doing wrong? Im really lacking motivation right now and feel like i cant carry on with this. But ive come so far ill feel like such a failure if i give in now.

Any advice/opinions would be great on as to what im doing wrong :(
 
You've consistently eaten 1700 calories every single day for the last 4 weeks?
 
That was smooth. They've been getting more persistent.



Not to call you out Jadey, but I answered a post from you this past Tuesday (10/2) where you said you'd only been eating 1200cals/day with the same exercise schedule. I'm happy to see that you've increased, but give it some time to kick in.

I guess your right :) well thanks everyone
 
I have been on 900 calories a day for about 2 months and I have still gained weight. Now I weigh 320 pounds.
 
I just had to up my calories as well and haven't seen any new weight loss. Let me know when it starts working for you so I can keep tabs on mine. :) If it doesn't help, we can go from there.

Yeah that would be great, its good to know others are havin the same problems :)
