Over 40, you really should add in weight training. This will help move the scale. 2 cardio workouts a week isn’t much either.

This. It's only been a week. You don't need to run to the doctor, JFC.

I’m rattled because I really made a big effort this week.

It’s one week. Chill out!!

Age is key here. Over 40, still some hope. Over 50, gets very hard. Also over 50, there's the bonus of if you have a cheat meal/day/snack, it all comes back.

Nope. Over 50 no problem, same as before.

Absolutely false

I posted something similar to this this week and it was suggested that I am eatinf more calories than I think. I am not.

But my weight issue started in my 40s with a thyroid problem and has never left even though i'm on meds. So that's pretty much it. You sound like me. Here's the frustrating part. I literally stay between 1000 to 1500 cal, usually 1300, every day with **zero** loss in weight. Yet if I stray from that count, as in 2000 calories because I went out for dinner or a wedding, rarely, my weight SHOOTS UP. Si even though I won't lose weight, the gaining part in surreal

Is your BMI in the healthy range?

Intermittent fasting worked for me after dinner at 7 no food until 7 the next day and eating smaller portions. 10k steps a day. Bonus is high intensity cardio 3x a week.

Go get your thyroid checked and talk to your doctor. I am assuming you exercise already.

I’ve been really, truly counting calories (1300) for over a week and my weight has not budged. This is about the 3rd time I’ve worked to lose 10-15 lbs and every other time the scale starts to move immediately. I absolutely swear I am being honest with tracking. Ughhh. Any advice?
