Member: 28970 		Hi!
I've been getting back into working out, and have been watching what I eat a little more diligently. And still the scale won't budge. I've been trying to loose some weight for a wedding coming up at the end of the month and I'm getting really frustrated with my progress. I'm going to the gym 3-4 times a week, playing baseball, and only indulging once a week. Any suggestions of how to make the pounds peel away a little faster??? Help appreciated

Swim, run, and walk a lot. Try to walk, run or bicycle to our work and don't eat anything after 19.00 in the evening. That's my advices to you, that has worked well for me!

Member: 28970 		I work shift work, and can't count on getting my breaks at regular intervals. I've tried keeping nuts with me, but I find I don't have time to eat them. I've managed to stay away from the treats at work, but since I work overnight sometimes, it can be difficult to figure out how much and when to eat.

Understand, work can be tough on u when you want to be exact on your kcal. However. If you take all your food from home you can calculate it before you go to work while at home.

Member: 30485 		Perhaps you can try caloric cycling. The body has an amazing ability to adapt to your eating habits, be it too much or too little. It wants to store more fat than muscle, because the fat does not require a fuel to sustain it. You have to outsmart your body by cycling. I recommend a 3 light days followed by a moderately heavy day, calorie wise. Any more than 3 days, and your body will adapt to the plan and it is worthless. Eat good fats, EFA's is large quantities, because your body will not shed fat if it feels deprived of fat. Good luck, and optimum health.

Member: 30755 		One thing to keep in mind, is that if you are working out more - you might be developing more muscle mass...and therefor the changes are now visible on the scale.

I would suggest to get away from the scale for a while ... Make sure to do weight training and cardio work-outs ... and eat well (food low in sugar and fat). Make sure to eat a good breakfast and then something every 3 hour, to keep your blood sugar level in space.
I am sure you will start to see development and changes in your body - either by finding out that your pants actually are a bit more loose on your waist (or more tight around your butt, if you've worked on your badonkadonka muscles...;) ) and shirts/tops look more great on you...

Have fun with it!

Member: 25723 		I agree with Janie. People get way too hung up on just what the scale says.
This site has a great ability to keep track of measurements.
Take them everywhere.
Use the charting and watch what happens as you train. The weight may stay the same but your body will eventually change shape and makeup with is considerably more important.
Use this website to do body fat percentages. http://www.linear-software.com/online.html
The last measurement method on the right, what this site calls the Tape Measurement Method, is the US Navy method and is pretty much as accurate as any fat fold algorithm
Make sure to use the one for the right sex, since there is a difference.
