So i recently went back to working out hard core(hard core meaning 3 miles a day and other various weight training exercises) after taking a month off after my surgery (December 23rd, Started working out arround January 22nd) and then i plateau'd so i decided to log my calories and figured out i wasnt getting enough, maxing out at like 700 and that was on a good day. So now im getting like 900-1000 a day and im still not losing anything!!!!!

WHAT AM I DOING WRONG !!!!:thumbup::mad::smile2::mad::w00t::mad:

Could it be because im regaining back my muscle that i lost on the month I took off ? Im so confused!!!! PLEASE BANDSTERS HELP MEE!!!!!

BTW: I get ATLEAST 60 grams of Protein a day and I drink 64 oz of Water each day. I get a fill on the 5th so maybe that might jump start it.

Heres another question, When you guys get fills and are on the 2 days of liquid,then 2 days of soft foods.. and then so on do you guys still work out ? Do you think i should work out?

I wish I had an answer for you, but I am in the EXACT same boat as you (calories, 3 mi per day), except I'm getting about 80 g of Protein in a day and 72 ounces of Water. The freaking scale isn't moving! I'm thinking it's because I'm due for my time of the month this week, but who knows? It just stinks when you feel like you're doing everything right and you don't get results.

I saw on one of the threads about the 5 day pouch test. I might try that to see if I can get the loss going again (my fill isn't for another 3 weeks and I will be so miffed if I don't lose any more before then)

Hang in there! Hoping someone will have some great advice on what we can do!!!

Hi-

Is your calorie intake of 900-1000 your TOTAL calories once you subtract your exercise calories? If so, I would still add about 200 more.

If you haven't subtracted your exercise yet from 900-1000....you are not eating nearly enough to maintain your output. Minimally at 3 miles a day for a "normal size person" they would burn about 200-300 calories, that would leave you with a positive of about 600 calories?!?

Just my 2 cents! best of luck:thumbup:

I have gone from the doctor's office right after a fill straight to the gym, so no reason you couldn't go as far as I know.

Todd, I work out but skip the weights and crunches.

OP, I think your body is going into starve mode, I think you need more calories.
