20 Mi Hiking & NO LOSS!

[kellyw74 258]

I agree with the other's about you not eating enough!! In the first month or so, I was only getting about 500 calories a day, but I was exercising 45 minutes a day and burning alot of that. I was so disappointed when I would not lose each week when I would work so hard during the week eating right and exercing.

Someone posted to me the exact thing about eating enough. Seems kinda silly to eat more, but you really have to or your body will think it is starving. I try to get 700-800 most days and when I exercise, I go up to about 1000.

I lose faithfully every week now!!

Good luck!

Do you recommend additional carbs or Protein for the extra calories? I've been shooting for 90 gms protein and so most food is protein in the form of meat, shake, or Greek yogurt. I track every bite through a sparkpeople app on my phone. I track all outdoor exercise via GPS on the endomondo app. I should mention that I'm always constipated now (TMI?), so it's possible that some carbs in the form of Fiber might help. Thanks again for the support!

You don't need more carbs. Keeping your carbs below 50 a day is a good guideline, it's the Water, to rebuild muscle (after you tear them which working out does) it requires a lot of water.

Still stalling... wishing I would've had RNY now.
