Havent lost weight

Predator_

I weight myself ever morning before breakfast. Im exactly the same weight as I was this time last week, to the 0.1lb. Should I eat less and exercise more or just ignore this and plough on?

rocky

uhm... do you *want* to lose weight?

Hiya
Can you give us an idea of what you aimed for in the last week? Did you exercise more and eat less that the previous week and had you expected a loss?

edwardhitler

Yes, generally you will need to eat less and exercise more if you want to lose weight? Duh

You need to look at the food you are eating and readjust. 3500 deficit on average equals 1lb weight loss, but depends on your current weight etc!

Weight loss is all about the diet. Exercise is what makes you look great. It's a lot easier to not eat 100 calories per meal than to exercise off an extra 100 calories.

It's very hard to do some vigourous exercise and not feel that you have burned so many calories you deserve a nice Mars bar, or coffee and muffin, or whey shake with all the trimmings.

Well my diet is pretty bare tbh, especially compared to what it was!
My breakfast is a bowl of porridge, lunch maby a few sandwiches or a bowl of soup, regular dinner. Thats it.

you have not dropped weight because you did not eat less calories or burn off more - it really is that simple. Just because you made some good adjustments to your diet does in no way mean you are going to drop weight.

Total calorie intake is what counts. once you have looked at that i would recommend looking at your total carb intake and most likely it will have to be reduced

mix up your breakfast and lunch a bit. My normal breakfast is scrambled eggs with some veg thrown in and for lunch a fresh salad with a tin of salmon. I find I'm not hungry during the day and am not tempted by the donut guy when he comes around , I've lost nearly 4 kg in the last 3 weeks at a near steady 200g per day.

Losing the weight we want to lose does not have to be as daunting as people make it. With a program that is engineered not only to work with your specific body type, but also to work with your goals, success is just about guaranteed. This will also help save time, because there will not be so many failed attempts at losing the weight.

rocky

^^ Any specific suggestions?

That was mind blowing and explosively informative. You should work for a card company or come up with those one liners that are put into Chinese crackers.

Joke.

OP - read the stickies here and in the nutrition forum here and in the fitness forum. Then go to a sit like fitday.com, work out your daily allowance of calories, factor in your activity level and track every morsel of food that passes your lips (all done on fitday) and you will have a better idea as to why you are not losing weight. If you are eating more than you are expanding - weight gain, if you eat and expand on an even basis - weight maintenance.

You've got a programme just like that, right?
