Ht. 5'8, Wt. 175ish - Hey everyone, I need advice and bad!! I weighed myself this morning and the scale still says 175 pounds! I weighed that 2 weeks ago but how can it be when I've been eating tons of salads, no sweets and working my butt of! I've been working out and eating healthy so much my mom,friends and family all think I'm becoming anorexic! My mom says fat weighs more then muscle. Is that true or is it the opposite? I lost another pants size im down to a 13 in juniors but how can I still weigh 175 pounds! I don't see how that is possiable! Help! Plz comment anyone. I literally measure out my food intake and I don't eat fattening foods. I've been eating so healthy yet I see that my stomache is getting thinner but how come the scale still says 175 pounds?

Reply from rachel, Age 17 - 11/17/05 - IP#: 71.112.36.xxx Okay switch to low fat and fat free foods. Like switch to 1% milk and then work your way down to skim milk, use 50% light cheese, fat free mayonnaise (I prefer fat free miracle whip. It has more flavor) and stuff like that. Don’t eat a lot of butter. Try using Butter Buds which are butter flavored granulates. You can find them in the seasonings section at the store. Eat high in fiber foods like whole wheat bread instead of white. Instead of eating regular pizza try frozen smartones or south beach diet pizzas. And instead of ice cream try south beach diet cookies and weightwatchers ice cream bars, weight watchers cake, healthy choice ice cream, no pudge ice cream bars, or skinny cow ice cream bars. They have a lot of desserts out there that aren’t that bad for you! Some things I find helpful is to eat a small salad with fat free dressing with lunch and dinner. It makes you more full when you go to eat your main meal. Don't eat too many sweets. Make sure you don't have soda or chips on a regular basis. Eat LOTS of fruits and vegetables. And drink A LOT of water! Exercise daily. You can walk, or you can run, or ride your bike, or swim. Whatever you choose to do make sure you exercise for at least an hour daily. If you want you can just walk for thrity minutes and then swim for a little while and then just do outside play like jumping on a trampoline or playing basketball. weigh yourself every week and keep track of your weight. if you feel like snacking try drinking flavored water to satisfy your sweet tooth. Pay attention to portion sizes. If the serving size is one cup, don't have more than one cup. Portion sizes are one of the most important things in dieting. And remember to have faith in yourself. If you get yourself down it'll be ten times harder. And also remember to let go every once in a while and eat something that isn't in your diet! Good luck!

Reply from helper, Age 14 - 11/17/05 - IP#: 68.97.177.xxx It's mostly because as you work out and eat less and healthy foods when you are at the "beginning" your fat moves around a little or burns up when your working out your muscles so hard. muscle weighs more than fat, your probably just at the beginning of weight loss, where you'll lose more inches than pounds, keep on your diet and excersise, you sound like your really doing a great job, you'll lose weight in a week or so. hope that helped... :) <33
