Don't get your nutritional advice from CE.

Start utilizing a free food diary site like fatsecret or myfitnesspal. Get a week or two of data of your normal eating habits/weight fluctuations/overall physical activity, then share this with your doctor and express that you're struggling to lose weight. They may offer guidance if they're trained in nutrition at all, or they may refer you to a dietician to hone in on what changes you can make. If after following that guidance you're still struggling, bring this up to your dietician and doctor both. From there it might be exploring options with an endocrinologist while you further tweak your diet and meal plan to explore things like insulin resistance, metabolic disorders, etc.

This is the real answer. I would seriously consider just ignoring every other response in the topic.

Probably a combo of the milk/soda/juice and not enough exercise/movement.

I used to be legit obese and really didn't eat very much, but at that point in time literally every activity including work was basically "sit and look at screen". Weight flew off once I started working out.

So much all of this. Drinking calories is really not good and most people don't get nearly enough exercise because of all the white collar office jobs that just have you sit in front of a computer all day.

The biggest piece of advice I can give is don't drink your calories. Tons of drinks are bad for you in this regard. Also watch the sauces you put on your meals and in your sandwiches. Those can add up to a lot of empty calories. Other than that, find a diet that works for you in your lifestyle.

OK Kimberly.

youre telling a CE user to contact a dietitian and to ignore everyones advice in this topic, many of which is sound, simple and basic enough to get the ball rolling.

I'm also sure many users here exercise and eat well enough to at least give the basic advice. I mean, it isnt exactly difficult to see that TC has shitty eating habits while wondering why he isnt losing weight.

guy drinks 3 glasses of whole milk a day. Thats something anyone with an iota of nutritional knowledge will say is problem one.

i wish there was 0 calories chocolate milk

Slate Milk sells cans of lactose free chocolate milk that are 110 calories and taste good IMO. I have one twice a week during my movie nights, as thats the only times I snack. I recommend avoiding the French Vanilla though. I prefer vanilla to chocolate, and I thought the vanilla tasted nasty.

I know this topic is already three pages long but he seems like you eat a lot of sugars and fats and no vegetables

weird that you took it as a personal indictment on the quality of your advice tbh

you made a general statement that CE doesnt provide sound advice.

but there are many users here who arent shit posters that can help others, for free. Or at the very least to get started in the right direction.

so yeah, let OP consumer basic advice and then proceed to expand his horizons if he wants to do so.

at the very least he/she can start by cutting out liquid calories which has been the easiest and most resounding bit of advice here.

No, I said don't get your health advice from CE.

Because CE is CE, and empathy is not in most poster's vocabulary here. Doesn't matter how sound one guy's advice is when there's a bunch of other chuckleheads looking to set someone back just to reap their shits and giggles off the back of someone else.
