Despite my title being a bit offtopic it is accurate. I am struggling with weight loss since my freshman year when I have gained all of the sudden 25 lbs. ( by all of the sudden I mean I was depressed and stopped caring about how I look). Since then I have always tried to lose the weight and bounce back to the phisique where I could be okay with myself. Since september Last year to May this year, I thought that as long as I go to the gym I will lose weight no matter what I eat. Little did I know. So it s May and I have been religiously going to the gym 4-5 days a week, working my ass off with ABSOLUTE NO CHANGE. I am dead serious, I have even gained 5 pounds due to the mentality ' As long as I do 5 more minutes of cardio I can eat that cupcake'. This led to a vicious cycle of binge eating ( because I was so frustrated that I see no change, also my friends knew how hard I was working and every body was like ' Why are you not fit?'). Then it hit me. LIKE A TRUCK. y o u h a v e t o c o u n t. Count your calories, it is that simple. I have been counting calories since the end of May and I have lost 4 pounds. I have also noticed that you cant just cheat on your diet. I could have lost way more weight but until today I acted that as long as it s not logged on my fitness pal it didnt happen. Also, a little reminder for me and every body reading this: use a food scale, use USDA( I cant trust my fitness pal after today when I compared what I thought are 1200 calories vs the real number usda gave me) and count even when you split off! At least you know why you didnt lose weight. The last thing I want to mention is that I didnt understand why I lose weight slow and I thought that I count my calories right (with a food scale) and it turned out that I simply ate more because of the MFP's lack of accuracy. Also, sorry for the spelling mistakes English is not my first language.
