Go back to your meeting. There are people out there who can lose weight without support, I wasn't one of them, I suspect your not. If you think you've plateaued check your points again, look at your portion sizes and increase your water intake even if think you are drinking enough. Good luck.

that depends entirely on your diet. you have to adjust your calorie intake so that you maintain your current weight. if you keep eating as if you're training day-in day-out, you will gain weight simply because calories in > calories out becuase you're not burning off what you're taking in...adjust your calorie intake according to how you dial back on your training. but yes exercise is vital to weight management & health so for your own sake please don't swear off an active lifestyle for good! =)

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.

what kind of foods are you eating?  if you're constantly downing fast food and other junk foods then it's time to reconsider what you eat.\n\nWhen are you eating?  what are your activities after you eat?  If you're eating and then taking a 5 mile run then that could be why.  Conversely, if you're eating at the wrong times (like 2am after a night of binge drinking) then that could be your problem too.

Well, i heard this on oprah.  If you trying to gain weight go on  diet for a little bit and then suddenly stop.  The shock will cause you body to pack on some extra pounds.

You may not be eating enough, considering your activity level.  Add another meal into your routine (as opposed to upping your portions), or a couple of small, healthy snacks might do the trick.  Also may want to go to the doctor and have blood work done, better safe than sorry.

No, you are probably active and have a high metabolism. Try cutting out an activity each day and adding one full meal to your schedule instead. You'll gain weight.

Most likely there is a flaw in your workout routine.  I just recently learned that you don't even start burning calories until after your heart-rate has been elevated for a consistent 20 minutes and that's why I wasn't burning fat even though I was going to a one hour workout class every night.  My class has a lot of "pauses" as we move from one exercise to the next and I wasn't jogging in place so my heart rate was dropping.\n\nAnother issue can be your diet.  If you are eating incorrectly, your exercise may be allowing you to maintain your current weight whereas, without the exercise, you would be gaining.\n\nWithout knowing your exact routine and diet, I can't give you more specifics but I would recommend consulting a professional trainer to get a routine customized for your body style, age, activity level, etc. and go with it.

Exercise and diet. Your body has really been through a change and it takes time. I have read that a lot of people didn't really start loosing a lot of weight until 6 months to a year after they had their baby. It took me almost a year and some help from Weight Watchers before I lost most of my weight. Just be patient if you can.

You will have to watch what you eat. Need to eat healthier foods. Do a lot of crunches, jogging and depending how big your are and you keep eating healthy you should be noticing a change in 2-3 months.\nGood Luck!!

I don't know if I can help you with the growth issue. However, I just lost 45 lbs, and feel confident I could lend a few tips. \n\n1. Stop eating junk! McDonald's, Burger King, and all that jazz need to stop. Don't you feel like crap after eating a Whopper anyway? Blah...I know I did. Cut all that kind of junk (including regular soda) from your diet. It's a nice place to start.\n2. Change your eating habits. Instead of eating little to nothing for breakfast and then a huge meal for dinner...SWITCH IT UP! Have a big, healthy breakfast and a small dinner. And make sure to stop any eating by 6pm. This way you don't have a sitting full stomach at night.   \n3. Change your daily diet to smaller, healthier meals with plenty of healthy snacks throughout the day. You won't get hungry, and you'll feel better.\n4. Move around a bit. Rather than sitting in front of your computer or TV...GET UP! Walk around the block. Go to the mall and walk around a bit. A half an hour of moving around everyday can do wonders!\n\n\nMost importantly-- DON'T GIVE UP HOPE!! Losing weight is a difficult thing to stick with but the pay off is unbelievable. So stick with it kid!

That is hard to say. Maybe change your workout program, add something else to it.  You also have to watch what you eat or at least cut back on somethings. Good luck. Now I have to push myself to get started. Maybe this is just what I needed to push myself. Thanks.

if you exercise alot or just started to exercise your metabolism may be running pretty high and it may need more calories to keep it in balance.. this should even out though after exercising for awhile.. \nif not that then you need to eat the largest meal at breakfast with alot of protein, and a medium meal at lunch, and then at supper.. its OK to have snacks and smaller meals too.. in fact its healthier to eat 5 small meals rather than 3 large ones..

It sounds like you might have some sort of emotional problem and that food is your escape. Try going to counseling. \nIf this is not the case, them maybe you need a hobby since all you do is think about food. You definitely need to change your mentality about working out. \nYou try Weight Watchers you might enjoy that programs since you are allowed to eat what you want and your not deprived. \n\nGood Luck & Stay Strong.

Lucky you! Are you healthy? Do you feel good? If you answer yes to these, stay the way you are. If you don't feel good about the way you look and you want put on a few pounds, get together with a nutritionist or dietitian to help you figure out a good weight gaining diet. Talk with your regular doc first. Have a complete physical to rule out any underlying health problems. You can also work with a peronal trainer to help add muscle mass for better sculpting of what you already have. Hope this helps.
