Why am I not loosing weight?

Don't forget that muscle weighs more than fat, so you may be gaining muscle tone, in which case, looking at the scale is not going to help you gauge your progress.\n\nOr, if you aren't gaining any muscle, you may have a thyroid problem.  Sometimes, a person's thyroid can not produce the hormones necessary to aid in weight loss.\n\nAlso, before you see a doctor, how long have you been working out?  Some people have unrealistic expectations for how quickly they will lose weight.  It can take two weeks or more to see a difference at all, even if your friends did the same thing and lost weight more quickly than that.  Everyone has a different body with a different metabolism.\n\nWell, take all that into consideration, and if ya don't like it and you're doing everything right, see a doc.\n\nGood luck!

I'm guessing you don't exercise much, or you haven't in a while.  If you haven't exercised, your body has very little muscle, which burns calories 24-7.  Sometimes that doesn't matter, but at some point your body slows down.  Sometimes it's when you get a job, or a car, and you are sitting a lot more.and any excess weight is \n\nYour body slowly started losing muscle. For a while, it didn't make too much difference. But now your body doesn't have enough muscle to burn off what you are eating, so your body can't do anything but store it as a pot belly.

A balanced diet and exercise 3-4 times a week!! Try to cut down on your calorie, 5000 calorie more than you need results in a pound gain (OH NO!!) and if you burn 5000 calorie without re-intaking it, you should be losing one pound!! Don't dehydrate yourself when you workout tho!!\n\nOh, one more thing, researches show that, sometimes when you feel like eating, you are not necessarily hungry, in fact most of the time it's just cos that you're thirsty!! So keep drinking water, when you are hydrated enough you can apparently focus on your work better too!!\n\nHave a great day! :D

Have you seen a doctor?  If you are making a lot of effort with no to little progress you might (emphasis on that word "might") have a physical condition that prevents you from losing weight.  I have thyroid issues that affect my weight.  there are many medical conditions that affect weight issues.

I am sorry but you are not exactly overweight, therefore i dont think you need to be losing weight.

but you haven't lost any pounds? maybe you've put on muscle *which weighs more than fat* \nmaybe you should change your bet to who can lose the most inches because thats really all that counts.. isn't it? Its what makes you skinnier.

1300 calories isn't nearly enough to sustain your weight.  You need to eat MORE to lose weight.  Your body thinks it's starving, so it's reserving all the calories you do give it.\n\nYou should make an appointment with a nutritionist.\n\nGood luck, and great job so far!

I know you told us not to tell you that you don't need to lose weight, but...You don't need to lose weight. What you need to do instead is tone your body--you will look like you've lost ten pounds, without the adverse effects of having actually done so--and you'll be stronger and feel healthier, as well. I'd suggest signing up for a gym membership and getting a personal trainer who can help you tone your body.

You may lose a negative weight - that is you will put on weight! As you ask this question, I can tell you are not really familiar with exercise and what a balanced diet is, and so you may over-exert yourself, even worse you do it in a wrong way. The result is you become too tired, or you get injured, or you get demotivated at the end of the first week! And the next thing that will happen is, you take a break, and you are less and less active, and you feel depressed that you eat something which will not help with your weight control program.\n\nGo to the gym and do some more research on the net. You may then come back and ask questions again.

Its true that you have to stick to a diet plan but sometimes your body works differently than the norm. You can try keeping a diary for a while of how much and what you eat as well as how much you exercised. Then if you still can't figure it out go see an endocrinologist and bring your diary. They can tell you if you have a thyroid problem or some other problem that is keeping you from taking off the pounds.

If you are losing weight on the scale only, then you are burning muscle, not fat.\nYou must still be eating other foods that are bad for you, or you are not eating enough. If I need to lose weight for an occasion, I go stricter than that.  Cut out ALL bad carbs, (sugar and white flour, as well as starches) and up your protein.\nSometimes you need more than 3 weeks to see a difference.  If you kept your current plan up for 6 months, you will probably see a difference.  I did weight watchers for 3 weeks (I was starving) and lost nothing!  I now cut out bad carbs and eat primarily protein and my body seems to respond better to that.\nGood luck finding what works for you!!!!

The weight loss could very well be the cause. When you lose weight, your hormones change. Providing you did not have sex. Otherwise wait and see. If you don't get it soon, speak to the school nurse. She will definitely be able to help you.

Okay...first of all, muscle weighs more than fat, so if you are maintaining the same weight, it means that you doing one up from losing weight.  You are gaining muscle.  It is healthier for you.  \n\nBy what you are saying, you don't want to drop the weight down any lower.  I know it is all about that number, but really your body is telling you that it can't go any lower than that number.  You are slimming down, and becoming more fit, and that is what matters the most to your health.  \n\nCongratulations on your success, too!  Keep it up, girl!

If you are serious about losing weight, the calories\nin the food you eat should be less than the\nenergy you use. You will have to increase your \nmetabolic rate now, and plan your diet carefully.\nFormulate your own weight loss plan and you will \nlose weight faster.

I'm guessing on this one.  If you don't have a health problem causing this, you should reflect on what is different.  Meaning what are you doing and not doing now.  A lot of young adults gain weight just from the freedom of being able to eat what they want when they want.  Also maybe you are not active enough.  Try just eating a less, but healthy.  Adding very small treats, to make it easy to stick to.  Then incorporate excersize.  Start small so you won't hate it.  Soon you will be able to gradually have a good workout.  Don't plan on loosing it in one week unless you would like a heart attack.  If you don't beleive me, do some research or ask your doctor.  Today this doen't sound so hot, but these changes should make you happy.

It sounds like you may be having hormonal problems, since you didn't say that you had any digestive problems which can also cause you to lose weight.  125lbs is not too thin for your height, and as long as you are eating well, I would not worry about it.  If you have any kinds of digestion problems, or if you feel your heart racing or anything like that, go to the doctor.

You are already off to a good start if you are eating healthfully and exercising. One of the best things you can do is stop focusing so much on the weight loss. The weight loss should only be secondary to being healthy and doing the best you can for your body and mind. You are bound to get frustrated when weight loss is your only focus. We then become "slaves" to the scale--obsessing about the number instead of realizing we feel better because we are getting moving and fueling our bodies with healthy food. Just keep variety in your diet, and in your exercising as well. That way you can always be excited about exercising. You won't get bored that way. You should be proud of yourself for taking care of your body! Good luck!
