What am I doing wrong? Please Help!

Okay, so I thought I been on the right track but , apparently not. I thought if I go hard on myself with low calories and working out I would loose the weight easy. In 2 weeks I have lost a total of 5 lbs. Today is my weight in day but i didn't weight in because I'm on my cycle and I don't want to be disappointed if I haven't loss anything this week. I am 215 lbs I work out 3-4 days a week for about 1 1/2 - 2 hours and I eat 1000 calories a day. I'm so lost cause my husband eats what he want and has been working out for the same time as me and has lost 3 lbs. I'm ready to just give up. Why count calories ?

Congratulations on the 5 lb loss.  That is awesome, and at the top of how much you want to lose in 2 weeks.

First, you need to be eating more than 1000 calories a day.  Women should never eat less than 1200 calories daily, and most women need more than that.  You want to eat about 500-700 calories less than you burn.  That is an amount that is far easier to keep up than the 1000 calories you've been eating.

So, I suggest you check Calorie Count's tools, see how much you burn WITHOUT your exercise, and eat that or just below it.  That way, you are eating enough to fuel your body, and all your exercise is producing the calorie deficit you need to lose weight.

You CANNOT compare yourself to your husband.  Men's metabolisms and bodies are different than ours - he will be able to eat more than you and still lose weight, even if he was the same height and weight.

It also may help to find more measures of your progress than just weight, such as giving yourself gold stars on a calendar every day you eat well, keeping a workout log so you can see your improvements, and keeping track of your measurements so you can see them going down.

And remember, even if you don't lose ANY weight, you are healthier for exercising and eating healthier.

Good luck!  We are here for you!

eating that few calories will actually lower your metabolism. The above posted is totally right. Don't starve yourself!
