hey im new on this board *waves*
first of all i feel a bit silly posting. i dont have major weight problems but i have serious body image issues and im trying to lose weight. at the moment im 1m63 (5"4) and 48 kilos (105.6 lbs). if you're gonna tell me im too skinny or that i shouldnt lose weight, dont bother answering - ive heard it all before.
so anyway
i started off at a little under 50 kilos a couple months ago and ive lost nearly 2. i basically ate less and exercised more and ate no wheat products. no big deal, no stress, i counted calories and ate under 1200 a day (apart from one day where i had way too much alcohol and it went way up but that was just one day out of 2 months!)
now, i wanna drop one or 2 more kilos, but they wont come off! for the past 2 weeks ive had a fat free yogurt and a fruit or a spoon of muesli for breakfast, a salad or a fat free yogurt with a small fruit for lunch, and some vegetables and meat or fish for dinner with a fat free chocolate dessert of some sort. i rarely went above 1000 calories and met all my nutritional requirements. i also go to the gym regularly, have "upped" my workout, and play tennis once a week. i drink loads and loads of water and herbal tea, and diet coke once in a while.
why am i not losing weight? im eating barely anything. i really doubt its BECAUSE im eating barely anything! should i just wait a little longer and keep going? i wouldve expected at least a kilo by now, with the amount im taking in. i dont get faint or dizzy but i do get hungry and i work out nonetheless. please help
oh and i take calcium supplements, and fish oil capsules and the pill. if that makes any difference? ive never had an eating disorder either so dont worry.
thanks
