How are you counting calories? Circa 1200 a day seems incredibly low to not be seeing a huge drop at weigh ins.

This has always been my problem, losing weight slower than others my size. I don't understand. I count the calories very closely and write every food on paper

It's possible the pen and paper method isn't entirely accurate.

That said, you're losing steadily and once you keep on doing what you're doing, you'll get where you want.

Well done on getting back at it, consistency is key and try not get too hung up on what the scales say and take into account how you look and feel too!

I'm 92kg and trying to get below 90kg, I've been training decently for a few weeks now and my weight hasn't shifted but my body looks totally different with a lot more muscle mass, everyone is different but keep the faith!

Very consistent!

crazy_kenny · 07-03-2018 08:51AM

If I was you I’d ditch the walking and do 3 x 1 hour weight sessions a weeks. Go to a personal trainer to learn correct form on the lifting.

Compound exercises like squats and deadlifts work numerous muscle groups in your body and will burn calories long after you have left the gym.

And don’t worry you won’t get huge muscles.

Can I ask why you fell off the wagon previously?

It's important to know why it happened so you can avoid the same result happening.

Well done on another loss. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the support Alf. Much appreciated

I guess looking back falling off the wagon was down to the food. I would blame myself if I ate too much and would have no motivation to try again the next day, to eat better or exercise. Then avoiding any opportunity to be accountable. But I'm glad I'm trying again.

Don't mind me...I'm overly analytical when it comes to myself anyway

But it's great you recognise where it fell apart before.

Avoiding those pitfalls is key though.

Keep up the good work. It's one thing I love about here...the support.
