I'm sitting here literally in tears. For the past 2 months, I have been religiously weighing, measuring, and tracking everything that goes into my mouth. Due to a ton of sensitivities, I rarely ever eat processed foods. So, I was eating pretty healthy even before trying to lose weight. But I will admit that I did just eat a lot of food.
So I joined Noom. Now, I'm not knocking Noom at all, because I think it's actually a really great program. But I'm just not losing weight. I have calculated my RMR. I've calculated my total daily energy expenditure. According to every matrix ever, I should be losing weight. I'm not. In two months, I lost 2 pounds. I eat about 1200 calories a day, which is what Noom recommended and what puts me at about a 500 calorie deficit according the every calculator I've used.
I am beyond frustrated. I went from sitting on the couch eating almond butter like it's ice cream, to weighing and measuring everything. Instead of eating an 8 ounce ribeye, I'll eat a 4 ounce New York Strip. Instead of snacking on entire bags of plantain chips, I'll eat some baby carrots. I KNOW I am eating a lot less and making better choices. I have not strayed, not once.
I currently have a stress fracture in my foot, so I can't do intense cardio right now, but I do some walking on the treadmill or 30 minutes of yoga every day. I also do strength training 3 times a week. I do wear a pedometer and get 10,000 steps or close to it every day. But honestly, I was always doing these things, even before making a conscious effort to lose weight.
I am 5'1" tall and weigh 150 pounds. I am 48F.
I really am at my wits end. What's the point in eating healthier if I'm just going to weight the same any way? I really don't know where to go from here.
