Frustrated beyond belief

  • Hello, I am new here but not new to SB

    I have been on for 2 weeks and 4 days. My first weigh in was 160.5. I am 5`2. I have fluctuated down to 158.5 then back to 160.

    I have no strayed from plan at all. I exercise 3-4 times a week for 45-50 min on elliptical.

    I have done SB before and the weight came off so easy.

    Heres a sample of my menu:

    Breakfast : Usually 1 real egg w, eggbeaters added, RF cheese, spinach, sometimes mushrooms, or ham..sometimes soy sausage.

    Snack, usually celery or cucumber w/ hummus

    Lunch - usually a big salad w/ a can of tuna roasted red peppers and slilced up cheese stick, w. Light Italian dressing. Sometime I have turkey or ham instead of tuna - or lettuce wraps w/ tuna salad

    Snack. Usually cukes w/ ranch or hummus

    Dinner - Always high protein - usually chicken, sometimes lean meat or turkey chili.

    Once and a while I will have SF yogurt or a Sf popcicle

    WTH am I doing wrong?
  • Any reason I'm not getting any replies?
  • Is the exercise new? Reason being if you just started this you could be retaining water due to DOMS, (delayed onset muscle swelling/soreness)

    Also, since you've dieted before, you may find it slower going this time.
  • If by SB you mean South Beach they have a thread on here-you may want to see if they can give you advice. Hang in there!!
  • I just started working out last week. A total of 6 times.in a week and a half.
    And I haven't dieted in a very long time - 3-4 years.
    I thought this was the SB diet thread lol..
