Last week, I did 7.5 hours of time between spinning, treadmill, and elliptical for a total of 6600 calories according to my heart rate monitor. I still wasn't very strict diet-wise, but didn't think it was any worse than the previous week when I did a lot better than 0.4 lbs.

Back at it again this week and everything I eat is going into the WW app and I'm cutting out all of the excess this week. Gotta break the 200 lb mark this week.

My doctor asked what I was doing and said you can burn all the calories you want but to really lose a lot, you have to change your diet. I was burning 1500 calories a day at the gym and not losing any weight at all. I would celebrate afterwards with the highest caloric beer I could find every night.

I understand that-I did follow WW with the exception of a little splurge here and there. Given I was down 2.8 or so the week prior with similar eating habits overall and I burned more calories this week, I was expecting to be a lot closer to the previous loss than what the scale reflected.

With WW, I have a daily point total, a flexible amount for the week, and then I earn extra points for working out. More times than not, I stay within my daily point totals without even using the flexible and activity points. I just know I didn't go over that much.
