Having a problem

  • I stopped weighing myself daily, and I've been about to do better with my calorie intake that way. I did my weekly weigh in today after a great week of running and eating right, and I was shocked that I didn't lose a pound. So, I wanted to a) vent, and b) run my plan by some other brains.

    I'm eating 1400 cal/day. I exercise every day, usually running 5-7 miles. One or two of the days I walk about 7 miles instead. My husband and I walk 2-3 nights a week, additionally. I also ride my bike to the grocery store at least once a week. I only count the running and the long exercise walks, but none of the exercise counts against what I eat. That is, I eat 1400 cal/day no matter what exercise I do. It's not my TOM, and I'm mystified. Any thoughts, chicks?

    This week I'm going to try to take out sugar.
  • Ugh, I know how you feel. I've been feeling the same way this week. Maybe just keep at it and then weigh in next week - sometimes I've found I don't lose a pound one week and then the next week, two come off.
  • I'm kinda wondering if you're not eating enough calories with all the exercise you are doing.
  • Are yo taking body measurements? Perhaps you are losing fat and gaining muscle?
  • I'm not taking measurements, but I don't see a difference in my muscle mass. I was concerned about not eating enough, but I'm a little scared to increase.
