Hi
I dont know whats happened with my body.
2006 i was 18 stone and went down to 14 in 3 months.
Now im 18 stone again and going the same diet
Cross trainer 20 minutes evermorning and then again 4 evening and 3 evenings of weights.
I have lost some weight in 2 months whilst sticking to my diet perfectly! My clothes are not even getting too big really!
This is happening so slow i really dont understand how i can be loosing such little weight while im so active and eating a very near perfect diet.
The only things i can think hindering me is i eat nando's alot 2 chicken fillets with there extra hot sauce and carbs at 8pm after weights.
Other than that i dont know what im doing wrong. I really need to loose 3 stone by september please can someone help me.
Should i forget the weights and just do cardio every morning and night for a while until i loose a couple of stone then hit the weights.
Any advice would be great??
Thanks

i would personally start by upping your cardio to 45 mins if you can. if its low intensity then up the time or you can keep the time the same and up the intensity

ok i do go pretty fast but ill try upping it to 30 minutes and stopping just for water at 15 minutes!
Does the diet look ok.
Do you think stopping weights and just doing cardio for a few weeks is a good idea or stick to what im doing?
Thanks for you fast replies!!

keep doing weights, maybe try reducing the rest time to 60 seconds between sets to up the intensity. Also someone told me that circuits are quite good for weight loss, give those a try

Hey
How tall are you mate?
Diet doesn't seem to have many kcal. Do you have a rough idea of how many?
A quick look to me seems like 1300kcal on a cardio day and 1700kcal on a weight day. Given your weight - the cardio you are doing should drop that a good deal further.
How's your stregnth been? Did it drop much when you went from 18 to 14 stone?

try and go by measurements as well as weight which is only a part of the picture.
eg i was on a 12 week plan with a personal trainer, he told me to forget about the scales, i didnt got stressed as during a strict cal and workout routine i lost 2 kg in 12 weeks crap eh.
until he did my measurements i lost several inches by the tape measure and my bf went from 23 % to 17 %.(i was chuffed to bits and did not believe the results as was so hooked on the scales)
if your working at the right intensity and diet is good you will probably be swapping some lbm for fat mass along the way.
which i am sure you are doing, so cheer up and keep at it.

it's always more difficult losing weight the second time around
being overweight it's not uncommon to gain some muscle whilst losing fat, which doesn't necessarily translate on the scales
if it's still an issue drop kcals/ increase cardio

I would say increase cardio and see how you get on. Diet doesn't look too bad at all.

dont give up the weights mate. weight trainning keeps burning calories long after you lift your last weight.
