Okay, I really don't know what's going on at this point. I am this close to giving up, which sucks because I've been working so hard only to fail every single day.
When I first started recording my calorie intake and output, I ate about 2500, and the next day dropped 2.5 water weight pounds. The next day, I stupidly ate about 3300 (I was using Daily Plate and thought I could "eat back" my exercise calories), and obviously went back up those 2.5 pounds.
The past 2 days, I've kept it under 2000 calories and I've worked out hard, and the result? I've gone up another pound. I really don't get it at this point. How can I be eating less, exercising more, and gaining?
I drink 8 glasses of water a day, I don't eat a ton of pre-packaged foods... I'm just really, really fed up. I don't know why I bother exercising and logging what I eat when I gain more than what I started with when I wasn't doing anything.
