Hi all, new here.
Right, sorry if this is the wrong section to post this in.
Basically, I'm 15, I'm about 5'6, and I weigh 11 stone. I know I'm not huge or anything, but I wanted to be thinner anyway. So I started generally being healthier.
I've always been skeptical of fad diets and stuff like that, I don't really need someone else telling me how to eat, I know how to eat healthily, I just chose not to(until recently.) So basically I started running a few times a week, no real schedule or anything, but I run 2-4 times a week, often for 2 hours, sometimes for just 20 minutes. I also started trampolining a lot recently. I've been eating more than 5 a day. I usually eat 2-3 apples, 2 bananas, and I eat fairly healthy meals which usually contain plenty of fruit and vegetables. I usually have stuff like pasta(no cheese or anything, just plain tomato sauce and chilli and herbs), salad, fish, the usual stuff. Occasionally my mum makes fairly unhealthy stuff, but I just eat it, I don't really want to tell them all I'm trying to lose weight. I drink around 8 glasses of water a day, sometimes more, I never have butter in sandwiches, I always use brown or wholemeal bread. I haven't eaten anything really unhealthy in a while.
Anyway, I've completely changed my life, and cut out everything I enjoy(relaxing, eating junk food, caffeine, watching TV all day) but I don't seem to be getting anything in return. I've actually GAINED weight these past 2 weeks or so. Not a major gain, only about 2-3 lbs, but I thought I would have lost at least 4-5lbs by now. I know scales aren't always the best way of measuring, because I have grown a lot lately it's fair enough I should be a bit heavier, but I still look the same, and my clothes aren't any looser or anything. It's annoying to see my friends NEVER exercising, eating whatever they want all day, and being really skinny.
Anyway, I'm not looking for sympathy or anything, I know it's my fault I was overweight in the first place, but, what I would like to know is why the hell I'm not losing weight?! I don't want to be put on a diet plan or anything, as I said earlier, I don't think it's necessary, I know exactly what is and isn't healthy.
