As long as a medical reason has already been ruled out (such as hypothyroidism), what could possibly be the reason you can't lose weight? You are watching what you eat, right? So the only logical explanation is that you are taking in more calories than you are burning. You might not believe it, but take a closer look to see what you can do differently to change this, and start see the result you've been waiting for:

1. The more attention you pay to what you eat, and the more you try to limit your intake, the more you end up eating when you slip just a tiny bit. Think about it: while you are teaching yourself deprivation every moment you think of it, it makes sense that any chance you get to relax a bit (whether it is on purpose--like at a party or on the weekend--or because you are overwhelmed with something stressful and your brain goes into stress-eating mode), your body is going to sneak up and compensate by tasting all those foods you've been deprived of. You grab a chocolate bar to get some energy because you didn't have time for lunch; you have a cocktail because work is finally over; you toss all the rules out the window so you can finally enjoy yourself at the barbeque/baby shower/dinner party. 'Why not?' your subconscious tells you, 'We've been doing 100% strict dieting for so long, we deserve to eat this now'. Could the calories you ingest during these times--which, think about it, could be as often as three times a day add up to enough to cancel out all the good we've done? You bet. Just 500 extra calories a day will suck an entire pound off your weight loss for the week.

2. Do you really have any idea how many calories you're eating on a given day? Or how many you need? I heard from one dieter just yesterday who told me she was faithfully sticking to a 2500 calorie diet, but the weight would not come off! Well, few people I know burn that number of calories a day. If you are a woman, especially after age 35, it's highly unlikely you could even lose weight on a 2000 calorie diet, unless you are someone who has a lot of muscle mass and exercises a LOT. Start really paying attention to how many calories are in the foods you eat.

3. Portion sizes: Even when you know how many calories are in three ounces of lean chicken, or one serving of baked chips, how do you know how many ounces you are eating? Take a closer look. Many food labels tell you how many calories are in a serving, but people often skip the part that tells them how many servings are in a package. Lots of convenient-sized packages actually have two or three servings: this includes a bag of chips; a snack bar package that may have two bars; a vending machine packet of cookies; a small can of tuna; even a bottle of a soft drink like green tea! The label will scream 'ONLY 50 CALORIES' on the front in big letters, but turn the package over and read the back where it says 'servings per container' and read that there are 2.7 servings within this one container that you were planning on finishing in one sitting.

Trying to lose weight is tough. Trying hard and not succeeding even tougher. Help yourself out and really pay close attention to what you are eating. It may not be what you thought!
