When do you eat in the morning?

First, your weight will fluctuate every day. It does for everyone. It can go up or down 3-4 lbs depending on factors such as sodium intake, carb intake, Water intake, TOM, stress, illness, exercise and so on. This fluctuation is simply your body regulating itself with fluids. It's not like you gain fat or lose fat, you retain or excrete liquids.

Do you track your body measurements lost or gained? If you're exercising as much as you say, you're probably losing fat but replacing fat with muscle. Do your clothes fit differently?

Watch this video, it explains a lot:

These first few months can be so hard. Hang in there -- your body will get the right idea and start shedding. Could you be a little low on calories, is that possible? Or could you fluctuate one day to the next, switching off as in carb cycling, etc.? Just a thought. Good luck and don't worry -- it's happening even when we feel like it isn't. TMF has a great idea about measuring. I always notice that when the scale isn't moving that's exactly when I am ready for a new size of jeans. I'm not setting the world on fire with my weight loss but I'm pecking away at it and just have to be grateful it's going in the right direction -- even when I'm UP one day then down the next, etc. That's also when I usually drop to a new number on the scale, when I've gone up first. Or if I've had a splash out the night before. Makes no sense but there it is.

I normally eat Breakfast around 8 am. I do differently things to prevent boredom. I have oatmeal, yogurt and smoothies. I normally have a snack around 10 then lunch at 12 another snack around 330. I am at gym at 545 till 645. I drink a Protein Shake on the way home from gym. Then after a shower I eat dinner. I have noticed a change in clothes but I maybe to obsessed with the number. I will try measuring myself monthly. Thanks everyone
