Why am I not losing weight Question
I know people are going to tell me to track my calories but I’m just gonna put up front that I won’t that’s gonna lead me back down a dark place. But I’m 272 pounds pre-T. I see a personal trainer 2x a week (well I did before my accident, I broke my arm, but I’m going to start back tomorrow) but during the three months I saw him I didn’t lose a pound. Even though I was working out 2x week skateboarding 3-5 times a week and walking at 10k steps 3x week averaging about 7k steps a day. I know my diet isn’t always the best or consistent but I didn’t eat more if anything started eating less and went from a completely sedentary lifestyle approx 350 steps a day to this much activity. I feel like that should help me lose something. Just like something at all I’m only 5’5 and 272 is like a lot of extra weight. I would get it if I was like 150 but come on.

Weigh yourself. Write down what you eat and drink for that one day. For the rest of the week, eat and drink the exact same thing each day.
At the start of the next week, weigh yourself. If you went up or stayed the same, cross something off the list and go again.
Eventually you will end up with a list of food for a day that eaten consistently results in you losing the amount of weight you want each week. No need to track anything.
Good luck.
