Trying to lose weight but I don't think it's working

Ok I'm 22 yr old female, 5'10, 184 lbs. Athletic build, but i do have some belly fat. I wanna get to 165. I looked at a lot of calculators and told me that I should be eating around 1900-2000 calories daily, but i decided to go 100 calories below (1800). The first 2 weeks was better good. I was at 180 lbs. But now for the past 5 weeks, my weight has been going up and down. 2 weeks ago, I was at 177, and then next week I was 181. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I workout 3-4 times for about an hour, eating pretty clean, and I pick one day where I have a "cheat" meal. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!

Scientists Working Toward Pill for Celiac Disease

Dec. 21, 2012 -- Scientists say they’re working on a pill that may one day help people with celiac disease tolerate foods that contain gluten, a protein that is found in wheat and other grains.

“It would be pretty much like the Lactaid pill,” says researcher Justin B. Siegel, PhD, an assistant professor of biochemistry and molecular medicine, and chemistry, at the University of California at Davis, referring to a product that helps people who get an upset stomach when they drink or eat dairy foods.

In a study published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, researchers describe testing a new enzyme called KumaMax that breaks down gluten.

In a test tube, the enzyme -- which was discovered in bacteria that live in Japanese hot springs and modified slightly in the lab -- dismantled more than 95% of a protein component that’s thought to trigger celiac disease.

The enzyme hasn’t yet been tested in people. Researchers say that’s the next step.

They aren’t the only group working on this kind of a treatment for celiac disease, says Joseph A. Murray, MD, a gastroenterologist and celiac disease specialist at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn.

Murray recently reviewed experimental approaches for treating celiac disease, but he was not involved in the research.

A company called Alvine pharmaceuticals is also testing an enzyme-based pill. Early results show that people with celiac disease who got the experimental pill had less damage to their small intestine after eating food containing gluten compared to those who got a placebo. But larger studies are needed to confirm those results.

Even if the pills work, they “won’t be a passport to eating gluten with impunity,” says Murray.

“It probably will only reduce your sensitivity to gluten, it won’t block it. Instead of taking in no gluten, you might be able to take in the equivalent of half a slice of bread and get away with it. It’s very unlikely that you could eat a pizza and get away with it,” says Murray, who has been a paid consultant for Alvine.

“It may make life better, but it’s really an adjunct to the continued effort to be gluten-free.”

In celiac disease, gluten proteins trigger an immune system attack on the lining of the gut. Over time, damage prevents the absorption of important nutrients and may lead to vitamin and mineral deficiencies that cause hair loss, depression, and brittle bones.

Currently, the only treatment for celiac disease is to avoid foods that contain gluten.

Murray says many of his patients find that despite their best efforts to avoid wheat, they end up eating some at least once a month because it turns up in foods they didn’t prepare themselves or because they can’t say no to a favorite treat.

“It’s very difficult to avoid. We’re in a very gluten-rich environment,” Murray says.

No time for Fitness? Working less, why not do more?

I've spent the last few weeks digesting the book, less work, do more by Jan Yager, Ph.d.  It is one of the most down-to-Earth guides for simultaneously decreasing your workload and increase your productivity that I have ever read.  You are wrong if you think that you have no time for fitness. Anyone struggling to take the added dimension of fitness in their lives knows that managing time and resources is essential. It can be done.

Aptly subtitled helps "The 14 day productivity Makeover," Yager of book readers whittle activity to an effective, comfortable pace.  With step-by-step instructions, it helps you achieve more with your book given 1,440 minutes per day.  An abundance of time management tools on the market today, and we got to be selective when it comes to what tools we have in practice.  I work less, do more to one of these valuable resources to be found.

Jan Yager, Ph.d. is a speaker, author and coach.  Her degree in sociology has her helped her career path, specializing in topics such as time management, friendships, relationships at work, business, and writing.  Her long list of interviews on well-established programs such as The Oprah Winfrey Show, The Today Show, and The View shows her credibility and impeccable knowledge about these topics.

Some of the topics covered in the book are goal setting, prioritizing, paperwork, email communications, and maximizing meetings.  Each chapter contains practical advice and action steps to take.  Quizzes, vital information presented in easy to read charts and graphs, lists, and charts are sprinkled throughout the book.  Each chapter concludes with a "Beat the Clock" exercise that helps you immediately put into action what you've learned, to solidify the techniques and serve as a catalyst for change.

One of my favorite chapters in work less, do more deals with what is called the five P 's: procrastination, perfectionism Yager, poor planning, polar bears, and petulance.  I'm so glad someone finally covered the topic of petulance, also known as just plain ol' grouchiness.  I'm a big fan of positive thinking, and Yager Relays important info regarding the stimulative impact of enthusiasm and a positive mental Outlook.

I also love day 6, the chapter that concerns itself with the organization.  Yager begins with a short quiz about the signs of the disorder and how to combat it.  They contains a sample appointment book format, a list to help organize your repetitive tasks, office organization techniques and considerations, and tips on organizing your home.

I took this chapter to heart and organized all my fitness equipment and info.  I have all my free weights in order and made them easily accessible.  I finally hung up the weight training charts and motivational quotes that I've been meaning to for ages.  I installed hooks to hang my miscellaneous equipment such as my TRX, my resistance bands and my skipping rope.  I put all my workout journals and documents in one location, and even organized and founded my Cabinet supplement.  Great, huh?

When you order, your book (and I highly recommend that you do, as soon as possible) by running the first time if you want to work through the book, but subsequently perpetrate in its entirety.  We tend to skip topics are lessons that uncomfortable, but it is likely that the reason why she is uncomfortable precisely because they are in the urgent need for attention.  For example, I was inclined to skip the chapter to paperwork.  I tried to convince myself that I don't need that chapter because I don't much paperwork; that I was mainly electronic-based.  Wrong.  I still had a bad system-floating paperwork and I just don't want to deal with.

Yep, I was dealing with denial and procrastination. I forced myself to working through the chapter, treated my clutter, and viola!  I'm a cleaner, more organized, and very feel good about myself for sticking to it.

You can visit Jan Yager and see what they're up or get a copy of her book.  Remember, you can set the time for fitness if you have the time to make.  We are all given 24 hours per day.  Make sure you take your time conscious and wise use, and fill your time with the things that really are important, such as your family, your health and your chosen passions.
