Unhappy New Diet Question

I recently started dieting about three weeks ago. I started off by going on my Bowflex Tread Climber for about fifteen to twenty minutes, five days a week. After the first week and a half, I lost about two pounds, but the tread climber was getting harder and harder. So I decided to switch over to just the regular treadmill, where the first day I did 50 minutes at 2.3-2.5 mph. But over the next week and a half, that's been getting harder to do, and so I've been aiming for atleast a mile each day (about 25 minutes), five days a week. Today I was only able to do .8 miles. Since I've switched, I don't feel like I'm losing weight anymore. Is this normal? I've also switched my food. I'll have a slimfast shake for breakfast (or lunch) depending on when I get up and have to work, and then for dinner I'll have a lean cuisine meal. Usually Ill have a snack if I need to, but that's pretty much it. Am I doing something wrong? Should I be doing more? I'm about to give up.

I also read somewhere that exercise is supposed to make you feel happier, whereas I just feel more tired. Is something wrong?

1. What are your current stats?
Age/gender/height/weight

2. How many calories a day are you eating?

3. You've been at this 3 weeks -what were you doing prior to that?


If you're ready to give up -then you aren't considering this a lifestyle change so you really should get focused on your goals and your motivation -the question you really want tofind an answer to is Why do you want to lose weight and get into shape? and get the real reason...

1. I am 19/Female/5'7/293

2. I don't know the exact amount, but it is under 1000.

3. Prior to the three weeks I was doing nothing. I wasn't dieting or exercising in anyway.

I know I need to get into shape for health reasons. I don't want to end up like my dad or sister and get diabetes, and I am sick of how I look.

your calorie count for your current weight is really entirely too low and not something you will be able to stick with for a long time... Spend some quality time with the stickied threads in nutritiin and exercise forums.. there's a link to a formula that will give you a much better calorie range to shoot for...

Get an account at FitDay - Free Weight Loss and Diet Journal and start keeping track of everything that you put in your mouth... and do weigh and measure those foods as well - getting a grasp pn what a portion size looks like is a valuable tool.

When I first start to exercise after a period of doing nothing, things seems easy and then get harder, but just for a few days. Then things settled back out and I can do MORE, not LESS like you are. I agree that your calorie intake is way too low. If I'm feeling entirely drained at the end of the day or I can't finish my regular exercise routine, I know I haven't eaten enough calories. Exercise should make you feel good - if you have the energy to sustain it!
