I am struggling and need some input from my experienced fellow bandsters..............................

It took me 2 months to lose my first 50 pounds and another 4 months to lose my next 25 pounds. It is so frustrating!

I try to stick to just eating my 3 small meals each day but lately I have added popcorn as an evening snack. Not because I am physically hungry, but because I want to eat. I don't know if the popcorn is my problem but, I just can't seem to lose steadily. My weight is all over the place.

I've up'd my exercise to 7 days a week. I go to Curves 5 days and work out for 45 minutes and bicycle approx. 6 hours per week plus I do weight training 3 to 4 times each week for about 15-20 mins.

My meals are as follows:

Breakfast: 3/4 cup of Greek yogurt with 2-3 tablespoons granola.

lunch: 3 chicken tenders dipped in buffalo and ranch

dinner: Small chicken breast and 1/2 cup of veggies

evening snack: 100 calories of popcorn

I drink at least 64 oz of water everyday and 1 cup of coffee in the morning. I drink nothing else but water.

Why am I not losing??? Any help or guidance is greatly appreciated. :wink2:

If you exercise 7 days a week and eat the above amounts of food, you probably aren't eating enough. Journal everything you eat and drink for a week and write down the activities you do. You can use fitday.com or sparkpeople. But, it definitely sounds like you aren't consuming enough calories for the amount of activity you are engaging in every day.

crzytchr,

I wondered about this myself. I advise everybody I respond to to journal everything but I don't take my own advice lol.

Thanks!

LollyMoe,

You are awesome! Thank you!
