counting calories, regular excersizing, but no weight loss
I am counting my calories and going to regular excersize classes. I've added a strength program also. I've been going to the gym 3 times a week religiously and still not losing anything. This is really discouraging... Can anyone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong? I'm getting married August 10, 2012 and want to be between 115-120 by the wedding. I'm currently 140 :-(

Have you made sure you are eating the right number of calories, daily? If you don't get enough calories, you body may go into "starvation mode" and hold onto fat stores, because there's not enough food coming in.
You should calculate the number of calories you need, based on your current height, weight and activity level.
You might also want to think about getting your thyroid levels tested (TSH, Free T3 and Free T4) to make sure you aren't hypothyroid. Hypothyroidism is a major cause for weight gain/inability to lose. Insulin resistance is often another reason for not being able to lose.
Then as Grace noted, just counting calories isn't always enough. You have to make sure you are eating the right kinds of foods.
