There could be many reasons why you are struggling to lose weight even though you are following a diet and exercise routine. Here are some possible factors to consider:

1. Calorie intake: Even if you are eating healthy foods, you may still be consuming too many calories. It's important to track your calorie intake to ensure that you are in a calorie deficit, which means you are burning more calories than you are consuming.

2. Quality of diet: While eating healthy foods is important, the quality of your diet can also play a role in weight loss. It's important to focus on whole foods that are high in protein, fiber, and healthy fats to help you feel full and satisfied.

3. Exercise intensity: While running 5 km five times a week is a great form of exercise, it may not be enough to create a significant calorie deficit. Consider adding in strength training or high-intensity interval training (HIIT) to your routine to increase your metabolism and burn more calories.

4. Hormonal imbalances: Hormonal imbalances, such as thyroid disorders or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), can make it difficult to lose weight. If you have been struggling to lose weight despite your efforts, it may be helpful to speak with a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying medical conditions.

5. Stress and sleep: Stress and lack of sleep can also impact weight loss. High levels of stress can lead to increased cortisol levels, which can contribute to weight gain. Additionally, lack of sleep can disrupt hormones that regulate appetite and metabolism, making it more difficult to lose weight.

Remember, weight loss is a complex process and can depend on many factors. It's important to be patient and consistent with your diet and exercise routine, and to seek support from a healthcare provider or a registered dietitian if you are struggling to see results.

Try carb counting. That's what I have to do for my diabetes, and I'm a t a good weight. Losing weight is all about keeping track of what you eat and how many carbs you're taking in.

A female should get between 45 to 55 carbs max per meal, 3 meals a day, plus you could do a snack between 20 to 30 carbs.

On the food packages, on the back, it tells you how many carbs that particular food contains. So, say you're trying to figure out how to add the number of carbs without going over the max of 55.. On the back of the food package, you want to look for total carbs per serving, not total per package.

This is just an example, but say a piece of chicken contains 20 carbs, a serving of corn contains 10 carbs, a dinner roll contains 10, a serving of stuffing contains 10 carbs, and a beverage contains 5 carbs. Right there are 55 carbs. If you stay as close to 55 as possible without going over and keep exercising, you'll lose a decent amount of weight.

Good luck to you!

Is this something relatively new? Your body has a lag with respect to how quickly you lose weight when starting to exercise. It can take a few weeks or so before you see a change.

If you just started a week or two ago, keep at it and your efforts will pay off soon.

The other thing you can do is add some other exercises to the running that target certain areas. This may improve things quicker.

When did you start? Its not going to drop off right away. Plus you can change your diet all you want to, its the amount you eat.

Start cutting out sugar and bread. I had to have sugar in coffee. It took a month to get use to it. Bread was another story.

there's a lot of reasons why that can be the case,
sometimes its even related to food such as:


water quality
air quality
too much radiation
not enough sun
hormone imbalance
not enough sleep
too soft of a bed
need to detox

My sister is like that. She was in perfect health and exercised for 2 months with an army recruiter but she couldn't lose it. Just stay healthy and be you.

Just depends on what you're feeding your body.
