Any advice! I am so upset!?

Answers:
I hate to break it to you, but the scale doesn't mean anything. You could be working out and exercising but not losing weight because it is being transformed into muscle. Think about it, if you're working on your thighs, it is very hard to lose weight on your thighs but very easy to make them look better and toned. I would say just exercise and work for that perfect body and forget what the scale says. If you don't lose weight but feel and look healthier, that is all that matters. I must remind you though not to exercise too much. A half an hour or 45 minutes a day every day is all that you need. Don't over do it, but also stay committed. Don't tell yourself that you deserve to eat that Krispy Kreme because you exercised yesterday, because you don't deserve it no matter what. I also remind you to eat after you work out and eat 4-5 smaller portions so your metabolism can digest it better then 2-3 heavy meals. And don't eat anything after 8 o'clock or so because while you're sleeping your body will digest the food and turn it into fat so midnight snacks are a no-no. Good luck.

Try to do some kind of program. Healthy eating and water is mostly what it's about. Excercising can help, but you gotta eat good 2
Could be your genetics.
Well It seems like u have done enough maybe More excercise Quit the diet pills the are dangerous
i would suggest to get specialized help and maybe running some tests, it's hard to say what's wrong just like that
Have you seen your Family Doctor yet? He might be able to prescribe some diet pills that are more effective than anything you can buy over the counter.
try walking up and down stairs two hrs. per day
and have your thyroid checked
If you have the means, see a nutritionist. It's not entirely about counting calories. I had a program through my gym AND nutritionist and I lost weight consistently and kept it off. Sometimes you can get your doctor to refer you to a nutritionist.or at your gym.
diets suck. from experience none seemed to work for me. when the whole lowcarb craze started out, i had two friends who jumped right on.one lost 70lbs and the other lost 30.. i watched, and watched.then decided to try it for myself.within 6-8 months i had lost 50 pounds. good luck
140 pounds is not that bad.anyway,try more fruit and vegies.stay away from sweet,snacks,and starchy food.may help.
You could have your thyroid checked. If your thyroid is off you won't loose weight.
Stop taking diet pills. Period.
Pick an excercise routine and stay with it for at least ONE YEAR. It takes a while to put weight ON, so it will take a while to get it OFF.
Eat smaller portions, healthier foods, and excercise regularly (at least 30 min of cardio every day, and some toning/strengthening a few times a week). Even if all you can do is go walking, make it a brisk (fast) walk and you'll be okay.
The key is persistence. Like I said, it will take time. Stay with it and don't be in a rush to get the pounds off. The more you try to rush it, the harder it will be to lose it.
i was running into that problem you are proably doing everything right but it takes time dont get frustrated one key of advice is drink water forget soda diet soda tea all those things they say it may be good for you but its not ! i lost 30 pounds from drinking water watching what i ate walk 3 miles every day .maybe have a friend or family member work with you on this so youll always have support !just be patient i know its hard but but it took me two months to lose 30 pounds hold your head up ! if you need more advice feel free to e-mail me !
hopes this helps
lose the diet pills they aren't good for you. Also you need to have a combination of eating healthy and daily exercise. Watch what your eating along with your portions, if you have some extra cash you might want to think about getting a personal trainer and or nutritionist. Good luck
hi , i'm a guy and i have maybe a dumb question . whats wrong with 5'1 and 140lbs. ?
something serious MIGHT be going on, make an appointment with your family dr and have him run a few tests, meanwhile keep up the good diet and exercise .
Drink alot of water, eat fresh fruits and vegetables and walk even if you're too busy to go out walk up and down the stairs. Set a goal, one week exercise for fifteen minutes and each week after add ten minutes to your regimen. Don't eat after six o'clock p.m. and be careful, diet pills and counting calories are not wise choices I speak from experience they may work but your body pays the future tolls in the longrun! If you'd need someone to talk to lmk I've been down that same road and there is a bright light to look forward to just use caution when dieting.

The best way to lose weight is diet and exercise. You are headed in the right direction, but maybe you need to tweek some things. Diet - there are websites that will help you calculate your need calorie intake for weight loss. You plug in your height/weight/exercise habits and it will tell you what you need, just do a google for it. Also, calories are important but you have to keep your fat intake to a minimum as well as unhealthy carbs. I'm 6'1 147 lbs, most of my carb intake is from fruits, skim milk, and wheat bread. Make sure to get at least 5 servings of fruit and veggies (at least 1 of them green leafy veggy). I don't know if you drink pop or coffee but you need to stop if you do and I mean completely stop. There are 150 calories in one can of pop and I think 39 gs of bad refined sugar. Only drink water and skim milk, no sodas or juice (again sugar). Water is your friend, no calories and helps clean your system, drink as much as you can, I drink over a gallon a day. As for sugar, you must stop eating any kind of sweets like candy, cereal, donuts, cake, or any sugary snacks, you will get all the sugar you need from fruits (the good sugars). The refined sugars in snacks, although they taste good, are bad for you and will definitely add to your weight problem. However, I do have what's called a cheat day. Once a week (usually Friday) I eat whatever I want (within reason) to reward myself for eating healthy for the other 6 days.
Exercise - you don't say exactly what you do for exercise, but I think a common mistake that people do is under-exercise. Honestly, walking one mile a day, five times a week is better than doing nothing but it will probably do squat for losing weight. You need to run for an hour straight 5-6 times a week (a 5 mile run take me an hour - 11-12 minute miles which is a moderate jog). I know that sounds extreme but if you really want to shed the lbs, this will do the trick. Go at your own pace, if your endurance isn't there then build it up. You don't need to sprint or run fast, go at a medium pace like I do. The only way I really lose the weight is through jogging, running (I also lift weights three times a week). And weight lifting is another great way to burn calories and build muscle too. But if you don't have the time then just run.
If you combine strict diet with a regular cardio burning routine the lbs will start to fly. Feel free to ask more questions if you want. I hope you lose the lbs
