Your story made me cry because I am just like you. I have been working out religiously for the last 3-4 years.. 5-6 days per week, seeing a personal trainer 2-3 days per week and not shedding a pound. At first I gained weight too when eating 1400-1600 calories (which is what someone at my weight should be eating to lose) . Then my nut told me to go down to 1200, didn't gain but didn't lose either. I felt like I was just going to the gym so I wouldn't gain which was inspiration enough for me. 1000 calories made me lose but i felt like ****. I sprained my ankle this year and couldn't work out for 2 weeks and gained 10lbs! That was, for me, the straw that broke the camels back. Sorry for my long story because this is about you. You are such an inspiration...keep us updated.
