The scientifically proven way to burn fat is in the fuel of a carbohydrate, spare your proteins for repair and hormonal balance. You should feel safe over 2k on the calories but I wouldnt go beyond 3k cals. Your body should at least have 51% carbs then work fats around 10-20% maybe more. Yes all chemical reactions occur in water so if you dont drink it you will stress out and retain what water is absorbed through foods. I have to go back and read more info about you but this is what IMMEDIATELY jumps out as your primary problem.

Yes, I do have to get back to doing this to resume my weight loss. I know how calories can add up without realizing it. I am very pleased I maintained though, especially through the holidays. I really don't want to live forever tracking, weighing and measuring, but I can muster up the energy and patience for another 20 lbs. (thanks for reminding me of portion size visuals, that was helpful). When I say I am not active, I mean I don't work outside the home, and keeping busy taking care of the house and those in it every day doesn't feel like much. I have way more energy since I started this in April, and I am always pushing myself to continue moving. But my days did become more inactive once we closed the pool in Sept. Now that I am in Florida I'm swimming almost every day ....and ....there's also sidewalks here!!!! :) So I have been walking every day to the park or stores. The gym? I'm not in there for hours, but I'm having a hard time sticking to muscle groups on certain days, like I was with the PT. I feel like I'm working all the muscle groups every time I go and I'm not sure that's right or okay.... I do not have the motivations you have (challenges and competitions) but I am very motivated by the visualizations of what I want my body to look like. Hell, even if half of them are fantasy, I want to see definitions ...and it's starting and it's wonderful and it just makes me want it more! So yes, I can do this. :)

But you also have to be "active" outside the gym (walk when you can, take the stairs, park further away from your destination, get off the damn couch, etc). Go back to tracking your food - amazing how little stuff adds up (hidden caloric intake). For each meal think about a plate: Your protein doesn't need to be bigger than your palm. Your complex starch should not be more than your fist, and half your plate should be veggies.And twice a day a fist for low/nonfat dairy & a fist for fruit. Add a couple thumbs of healthy fats (e.g. cook with olive oil, add a dab of real butter for flavor, a quarter cup nuts for snack). Turns out this should match your caloric needs for moderately active day. Never eat below your resting metabolic rate. (Look up Mifflin-StJeor equation to calculate REE). I started using myfitnesspal dot com to track my food earlier this summer (for a gym challenge). Average intake ~1800/d (once a week cheat w/choc cake dessert up to highest 2500 kcal). Crossfit workout 4-5 x week, jogging once a week (started training to do Ragnar Relay). Lost 10 lbs on scale, upped my muscle mass by 3 lb, went from ~25% down to ~18% body fat. Lowest I've been in my whole life (I was chunky kid, chunky teen, chunky college, etc). @kind - if I can do this, you can do this. Just have to find your motivation (mine is the challenge of crossfit & then a gym competition). mrs svc

User Details are only visible to members.	Hi Naked! Sure, I always need help. lol To be honest, I stopped tracking my foods about 3 months ago. I decided to take what I have learned and see if I could do okay with it. My intention was never about being on a strict 'diet', but to change my eating habits forever. I eat very healthy, at the right times, but I'm pretty sure my portions are off without weighing and measuring. The good news is, I think I have mastered maintenance, I have not gained a pound, however, I haven't reached my goal weight yet! lol. So I am ready to start a more strict program again and I am really not sure how to do it this time. Any advice would surely be appreciated. I am 5'2", I want to lose 18 more lbs, (I have been working with a PT 3 times a week and treadmill everyday for about 20-30 min, however I am not home now for the rest of the winter) so... so far, it's the gym 4x a week and 1 yoga and 1 kettlebell video on not gym days. I am 'not' active after my workouts, I am VERY menopausal and I am on weight gain meds that have deeply effected my metabolism. Oh, and I absolutely hate water and I know this is a crucial reason for my slowww weight loss struggles. If you think you can get me started on some sort of track here, I say ...good luck and ...thank you! :)

Second, what is your target weights? Third, what do you eat? Not how many calories, but what is it made of? Counting calories only works so long as you know the exact formulas of the food is made of and if you can even trust that labeling. So unless you are making all of your meals from raw materials dug out of the earth or slaughtered and put on market as raw meat... You aren't likely to get a true count. I personally have gained weight while working out... But lost my waist size by an entire belt hole. Why? I built muscle. How did I do this? 50 sit ups and push ups and six mile runs 5 days a week. Every time I run out of breath or my body tells me to give up... I kinda push it harder telling it that when I meet mr grim reaper... I intend to shove its scyth up its bony white ass.... But that is me, preparing myself for my eventual fight with death. :-)

User Details are only visible to members.	Kinddragon, you definitely sound like you reached a plateau. To get past that, you need to change up what you're doing. Since you work with a PT, I would suggest they create workouts for you that are far different than what you're currently doing. If you're just working with weights, try using your own body weight and work with stability and medicine balls. For your nutrition, it definitely sounds like you're a little low on the calorie count. You have been correctly told that by doing that, you're putting your body into starvation mode and actually being counter-productive to your goals. No need for a drastic change there, add 100 calories for a week and see how you feel. One piece of advice I give to everyone we work with. Stay OFF the scale. This is the Biggest Loser mentality that gives the impression that the only way to determine success is by a number. Take photos of yourself every 30 days, you'll see the changes. You say your clothes fit looser, that's a great sign of change right there. The best thing you can do for yourself is keep moving forward, don't let the lack of short-term change discourage you. Results come at different paces for different people, you may just have to work a little harder than the next person. Keep at it, success will come. Rick

Got up 5a and made it to a local Crossfit box that I like for the 6a WOD (workout of the day). Some lifting (Cleans at 105 lb) then Handstand Pushups & Toes-to-Bar (about 10 min metabolic conditioning). Icing down my hip then off to work. I think I might get some jogging (or rowing) in this afternoon to burn a few extra calories to make up for yesterday (no workout, and too many chocolate raisins).
