Why can I not lose weight????
I am in the gym exercising 4-5 days a week. Of those days, 2 I teach kickboxing and an abdominal strengthening class, the other days I do yoga and run at least 2-3 miles...sometimes 5 or 6 depending on how much time I have. The other day is a misc. day. Depends on my mood.
I eat between 1200-1300 calories per day of a balanced diet.
I don't get it 
Its been almost 2 months and I haven't lost ANYTHING- and this is not my healthy body weight. I gained 20+ pounds since the wedding!!!
I really don't know what else I can do! Has anyone experienced this????

Re: Why can I not lose weight????
I wish I knew what to say to you but the truth is I am in the same boat. I work out constantly and eat so well and seriously I do not even lose 1 pound  I have gone to the dr for blood work and all looks good so not sure what else it could be. And I cant stand the people around me who eat whatever they want and barely walk to their mailbox and drop 5 pounds when they stop drinking soda or something.
Obviously I am bitter lol

I have a question for you- are you on BC?? Someone said to me that this might be the issue.

Nope, no BC for me. I was never able to find one that didnt make me feel like a raging, nausious, maniac? All my problems began 3 years ago when I quit smoking. I gained 30 pounds and my body has never been the same. Its like quitting slowed down my whole system. If I thought for 1 second that I could lose weight if I started smoking again I would, but I know thats not the answer.

Are you eating enough for your activity??
I was wondering the same thing. You're so active, I'm thinking you need at least 1500-1600 calories a day. Your body is probably freaking out, thinking you're starving, and holding on to every ounce of fat it can.
I'm a big fan of the Biggest Loser and you see this all the time - people will eat 1200 calories a day for a week and workout 6-8 hours a day and GAIN weight. It's crazy. Try upping your proteins a little, and maybe incorporating something new into your workout to kind of shock your system.
Good luck!

Re: Why can I not lose weight????
I know how you feel!!! I'm doing practically the same thing..Gym 5 times a week, and on a 1400 a day diet (without working out), around 1800 including exercise..and nope NOTHING!!! I lost 5 lbs..but desperately trying to lose the other 6. Its so frustrating..because every day I'm the same weight!!!!
The only advice I can offer is you might not be eating enough..especially because you are pretty active. When I exercise 5 times a week im usually eating around 1800 calories a day.
GOod luck!
