I have just been surfing the web for an hour trying to find information on what the hell is wrong with me. I am 5'3" I weight 160lbs. and I have been dieting hardcore and excersizing for a month with little results. I may look a TINY bit thinner. but my weight hasnt budged. I was almost shocked to see the simularities we have, and all the responses are assuming you must be doing something wrong. But you arent. I didnt think anyone would believe that I have actually been working out and trying to eat healthy as much as I have, for as long as I have, with no results. One weird thing we have in common is not being able to sweat easily. I got overheated and passed out becasue of it when I was a kid. Even when I work out now, its hard to break a sweat. I really don't know why this is happening. I have lost weight in the past, but I always creep back up to good old 160-165. My body loves this weight. obviosly i am confused, exausted, and very discouraged. I am so glad to see you are going through the same thing. I want to hug you! My plan of action, from hear on out is to keep going strong, and ditch the scale. I only plan to weigh myself once a month. there are a number of things that could be holding us back from loosing the pounds. gaining muscle, being stuck on a plateau to begin with. I plan to actually excersize more and eat a little less, maybe. but I am not going to starve myself. I am just going to get super strict with the suger fat and high carb foods. No matter how discouraged we are, we have to keep trying and break through this initail shock of seeing no results. If we keep eating healthy and excersizing there is NO WAY we are not going to loose the fat. If that happens, say, in three months, still no results and your always hungry and working out, then you would end up going down in medical history and being studied at mayo, becasue its just not possible. but it is possible for your body to be sluggish for some readon. I am going to visit my doctor and talk about this problem to see if maybe I have a thyroid problem giving me a sluggish metabolism.
