    Default weight loss question

    in the past two months ive been trying hard to lose the excess weight i have. ive been exercising at the very least a half hour every day, more when my schedule permits. i do a lot of cardio for my workouts, and some weightlifting when i have time. i have cut out all sweets and desserts, stick to one portion per meal, stock up on fruits and veggies, and have cut out sugary drinks from my diet.
    but i dont seem to lose any of the weight. in fact, i gained a pound. i do feel stronger, and have definitely gained muscle, but i still look overweight.

    what am i doing wrong?

    Perhaps it's simply a matter of body type. That one pound is probably of muscle, you simply haven't lost any fat.

    Cool store, bro! I want some ham.
    No ham, pepsi.
    They make deli slices of frozen pepsi now? Awesome!
    You also need to purchase a small freezer for storage of your pepsi.
    It runs on batteries. You'll need a few.
    Uhh, I guess I won't have pepsi then. Do you have change for a twenty?

    Well exercise like weightlifting means more muscle, muscle is good, but if you specifcally just want to lose weight you probably won't doing that.

    Not so much a matter of eating less, but the calories in the food you eat should be say a few hundred below the Daily recommended amount, also getting a balance of all nutrients and not an uneven distribution.

    why would you want to lose weight i dont understand it. after a life of constantly gaining more weight i cant comprehend wishing to lose it. be patient and eventually you will replace youre dfat with muscle. i around 207 pounds but i look far less because it isnt fat but mostly muscle.

    What are you eating in terms of meals?

    It could be that you still have a high carbohydrate or fat intake.

    Less Carbs (especially simple ones) = Weight Loss.

    So when you have an intake of carbs, make sure it is the complex kind.

    Also, increase your intake of fibre. Don't eat bread, as this is high in carbs, eat something like shredded wheat. This will get the food moving through you.
