Growing frustrated here .. as I have no idea what's going on with my bod. I don't overeat (to the contrary .. I probably undereat), I'm not on the pill, not pregnant, and have already had my thyroid checked.
Here's the dilemma .. despite busting my duff in the gym 6-7 days a week .. I keep gaining weight! Now .. it's not a vanity thing .. it's more a frustration thing .. doing what you think you're supposed to be doing, but gaining weight. And .. I know it's NOT muscle .. because I can see the actual fat and where it's landed. I'm not looking to lose weight .. but rather maintain my loss. However over the last 5 months or so .. I've put on 7lbs. All of my clothes are getting tighter and I'm growing more and more frustrated. I've tried working out more and eating a little less, and then I pack on another pound. I've changed up weight routines, I've tried adding a little more variety into my cardio .. nothing has worked. I'm starting to get to the mindset of just throwing in the towel and giving up on it all .. I mean, I'm busting my duff to gain more and more weight?!?!? Grrr .... :-(
I've read/heard that working out too much while eating too little can cause weight gain .. but I don't know of the truth/accuracy behind that statement. Does anyone have any suggestions??
Part of me wants to try eating more and cutting my workouts in half .. but there's that lurking fear that that will result in .. MORE weight gain .. so I'm really lost as to what to do here
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
