Unhappy Haven't posted in a while...need help!

Hey all! I havent posted in a while..a long while! Im having some major issues here and they are starting to really piss me off.

I have been eating "clean" (fruits/veggies/protein etc) proper portions (tosca reno eat-clean diet book) about 5 small meals a day.

I havent had coffee in TWO WEEKS, and trust me when i say i drink it like ice cream... lots of cream and sugar...so cutting all cream and 95% of sugar out of my diet..to me, that should do something right there right?

And excersize, ive been doing the treadmill every morning around 6am, for between 15-30 minutes, (if 15, ido more later too). I use the incline, have varied routines so I dont get to used to it...all that good stuff.

I also do cardio tapes/ turbo jam, whatevers on demand a few times a week. sometimes i even do the tread at night too....
I added in some strength training as well this week,

Ok so all that.. and NOTHIN! not a damn thing? What gives>!

Ohhh and , as much as I hate water , ive been drinking 5-6 of those BIG sipper bottle poland springs waters (sports bottles?) every single frickin day!

Im not ready to give up..becqause i know that regardless the food im eating and excersize im doing is good for me... but its really hard to stick with it with basically no results.

Im 28....and i know when u lose and regain its that much harder....but almost every time i diet or start a routine, i lose ATLEAST the first 3-5lbs FAST, even if its just water weight.. but this time.. im doing every single thing right, and NADA!

So, sorry for the lonnnng post and the *****ing and moaning, im just aggrivated and dont know what else to do to see some results before i go drown myself in ice coffee and a big fat plate of chips.........then the damn scale would budge i bet! HAHAAHAH in the wrong direction, though lol!

Thanks , and again, sorry for the long post!

Have you been a yoyo dieter? Loosing quickly and gaining quickly will really screw with your metabolism.

Do you know how many cals you've been eating? Yes fresh produce is better than something loaded with preservatives, but you still have to watch portions. One banana can be 100-115 calories. One large apple can be 125. One cup of red, seedless grapes is 100cals. Those numbers add up quickly, even though you're eating healthy food.

I'd track your intake for the next few days and see how many calories you're consuming.

How many calories a day are you eating ? If you are not counting calories you may be eating more than you think.
