Why can't I lose weight?

I count everything, added oil, condiments, etc. I have been doing this for like 2 months and gained weight. v.v My weight was lower when I was eating frozen pizza's and not exercising.

@MorbidCynic: i can suggest a few things that i tried cut out all sugar and white bread from your diet and don't eat until your full stop just before you are

@MorbidCynic: I agree, you are heavy for your height. I am about your height and I weight 115. I don't understand how you weight that much considering the calories you consume each day. You and I consume about the same calories each day. I also eat some candy, etc. most days.

@Xena1234: I recently picked up these habits since around mid December. I weighed 145 then. I don't know whats happening. >.> I used to eat way more so I know why I was fat then but now I'm lost. v.v

@Flenflyys: I looked on several online calculators to get what I should be around. -.- Maybe once I get my insurance situated.

Oh, the American health care ☹️

@Flenflyys: back to the maple syrup forest for you!! Leave my fellow Americans alone!!

@Magenta: yes, a lot actually

@MorbidCynic: Are you feeling sick or unhealthy somehow?

@kekobaka: yess

@MorbidCynic: how?

@MorbidCynic: No muscle is leaner than fat it is a fact.

@MorbidCynic: Muscle has a higher density than fat, this means that with less volume you can have more weight. Yes, pound for pound it is the same. But you take 3 ml of fat and 3 ml of muscle the muscle will weigh more.

What she is saying is right. If you are building up muscle while losing fat your weight won't change and there is nothing wrong with that. Health has a lot more to do with body weight concentrations or fat percentage than it does with your actual weight. So keep exercising and eating a healthy balanced diet and I think you will find that your energy levels rise, you sleep better, and you feel more focused.

On another note, make sure you are getting enough sleep. You also might want to increase your calorie consumption slightly, up to 1400-1600 to make sure that you are getting enough nutrients. It is better to eat healthy and slowly lose weight than it is to try and cut fast.

Keep in mind that a woman in your age group has a base calorie consumption of about 1800 (Base meaning without doing anything) so this means that if you are working out you will be burning significantly above this. Probably to the tune of 2300. You do need energy to keep going.

It's extremely difficult for women to develop muscle mass though. If that was the case she would be seeing the difference. @MarsSword:

But routines aren't one-size-fits-all. It could be the most effective, but that's no guarantee it works for everyone. My brother-in-law was a personal trainer. I heard the lecture all the time that different people with their different goals needed different workouts. 😅

@Ephemeral: eh I was just going by actual studies backed up by other fitness experts but whatever.

And going by your own results? If it's working for you, then go for it. If not, then it's something to consider.

I can't afford it

no partner tho
