I just don't even know what to do!

It's not fair... I eat healthy and exercise at least 5 days a week and I DONT lose weight. I can't stand it when people just eat whatever they want and I have to be so meticulous so I don't gain one freaking pound! So I'm sitting around crying and just wanting to eat whatever I want but stop myself because I will just get bigger and bigger!! I'm just not happy with myself. ALL that I want is to be happy with myself. I just want to lose 20 pounds, why is that so hard? I'm so discouraged. I'm just realizing that I'm going to have to be happy at 160 pounds, it's not going to get any better. And I'm not even going to be able to sit around, but I'm going to have to work to maintain this weight. AHHHHH!!!

Yeah I hate those ppl too, I know what you mean. As for trying to lose I think it sounds like you watch your diet closely maybe there are a couple of little things you could look to cut out, change from mayo to low fat miracle whip, cut out liquid calories, etc, I know you've probably done that though. what kind of exercise are you doing? You can do it!! Please dont' dispare this is great place for advice and support.

You might want to think about going to your doctor to get checked out cos it might be something with your thyroid. Dont give up please!!! It'll happen, time is everything and I know it sucks when you work out and eat right and do everything right and see no results. I wish that we could go to the store and just buy a perfect body in a can but its not that way so we gotta deal with what God gave us the only thing we can do is perfect it a little more :) Goodluck!

Hi and Welcome to the board.
Hey -
Its nice to finally meet someone that is in the same boat as me. Your first post actually looks a lot like the e-mails I send to my sister! I workout every morning before work and really watch what I eat. The scale hasn't budged in a while. On a typical day, I would have fruit/fat free yogurt for breakfast, a salad with turkey and plain vinegar dressing and for dinner I would have a lot of vegetables and then a small bit of protein. Any snacking was usually fruit and I didn't deviate all that much from the plan.
I was really down and my friend gave me her fat flush book. I am not the biggest fan of fad diets (even though I have tried the South Beach) but I thought I might give it a try. I started reading the book and looking at what I had been eating. I'm not a nutritionist, but my self diagnosis was that I hadnt been eating enough...and I hadn't been eating enough fat.
It was really tough to start adding fat into my diet. I figured that the woman who wrote the book had tried this plan on a number of her clients and that it wouldn't hurt to give it a shot. I'm not saying I have "flushed" 15 pounds a fat like some of the people in the book, but I also don't think I have 15 to lose. It did however start moving the scale and that made me feel a lot better.
Sorry that was so long, I guess I just had a lot to say since I know how you feel! Hope it helps a little!
