Are you dieting but not losing weight? Are you on a diet but gaining weight?
Is weight gain while dieting normal? Well, it depends!
Weight fluctuations are normal.
A better question might be, “WHY am I gaining or not losing weight?”
If you can’t identify the WHY (like maybe you ate six Twinkies last night) then it’s time to reevaluate your weight loss methods, program, nutrition, workout, motivation, goals, etc.
Or keep spinning your wheels going nowhere. You choose.
Do you know how many calories you require to lose weight? Do you know how many calories you are consuming a day? If not, that is where you want to look first - caloric requirements and caloric consumption. More often than not, if you aren’t losing weight it is because you are consuming too many calories! Barring that……..
Are you dieting and not losing weight?
I’ve lost 75lbs. Have a look at my weight loss results chart …
I dieted. I lost weight. I dieted. I didn’t lose weight. I dieted. I gained weight.
This chart isn’t even the whole story. The first year, which isn’t on here (I started at 213.6lbs), shows an initial 20lb loss followed by a several month loss and gain of the SAME censored 5lbs!
So, I offer up this chart for the wonderful weight loss warriors I’ve been chatting with lately who aren’t getting the results they expect. You’re not alone in your frustrations! Anyone who’s had to lose weight has (at times) lost their sanity dealing with the scale’s refusal to budge.
I still have a few pounds I want to lose. Even after having seen - day in and day out - for THREE years, how schizophrenic my scale can be….I STILL get frustrated with my lack of weight loss results! And I (should) know better!!
I hope you find some comfort in knowing you’re not alone. If it’s true that misery loves company, well then………….I love you!
You are most definitely normal if you’re dieting but can’t seem to lose weight. Don’t give up but also - don’t keep spinning your wheels for months on end! (I tried that - it doesn’t work!) You know what the definition of insanity is don’t ya?
