I don't get what I'm doing wrong ! I started this at 250 lbs. Haven't budged. Measurements, haven't budged. I've stuck to a diet of 1550 cals a day. With 2 days out of 2 weeks, gone over that. I exercise at least 3 times a week for at least 30 minutes each time. Heart rate at 145-160. I'm 22 and 5'8.
My lifestyle before was completely uncontrolled. Ate what I wanted, when I wanted. Probabaly pushed 3000 cals a day. NO exercise other than my job. It was a chore to even go for a walk to get the mail or go back in the house because I forgot something.
I've cut out alcohol completely, soda, cookies, treats, any bleached or white carbs, chocolate, candy, fast food (with the exception of a chinese buffet last saturday and 6 chicken nuggets from McD's yesterday because of time restraint).
I weight train at least 4 days a week also. I drink plenty of water and have at least 1 green tea a day. What is going on!? I want to rip my hair out and scream. I've never EVER stuck to something like this before. And I'm so porud of myself for sticking with it, but I've had NO results. I feel like I'm failing myself. I don't know what more I can possibly put into my plan. I've started to cut out eating after 8 pm (I go to bed around midnight or 1am almost every night). I take protein powder in the morning or after a workout. (its low cal, low fat, low carb)
It's so discouraging and maddening. I'm irritable, upset. The only possible thing could be a thyroid problem but seriously... NOTHING ? I've had nothing out of all of this ?
Dont know what to do.
