Sorry for being longwinded but I have to fully explain what going on to get an answer.
Now I’m not new to working out and exercise I have been trying to lose weight for about 6 years now and all I seem able to do is to hold my current weight and when I give up I put on another 20lbs or so.
I weight 240 lbs and I have been on an intense workout regiment for the last 3 weeks. I have been working out for months but just started this regiment 3 weeks ago.
I go to the gym and train on the elliptical for 1 hour 5 to 7 times a week. I have done no less than 5 times a week. The elliptical allow me to put in my weight and age. So even though I know it’s not 100% accurate about how many calories I burn but I know it’s somewhat close. I after 1 hour and a pretty high resistance I burn 1,000+ calories every time I step foot on the machine. I also wear a heart rate monitor with chest strap and I’m careful not to train too hard or too little I keep my heart rate around 160 to 170 rpm for the full hour. I do other things in the gym as well. I’m trying to rehab shin splints that popped up when I tried to run while being too fat. Had physical therapy for weeks nothing is working, but that another story. I also have a job where I’m up and about around 90% of the day. I where a pedometer and I usually clock 10,000-12,000 steps before I leave work and if I wear it to the gym I clock 20,000+ steps for the day. My workouts are so intense I lose about 1.2 to 1.5 pounds of sweat during the workout. I weigh before and after on a very accurate scale.
I’m eating about 1,500 to 2,000 calories a day.
An average day:
7:00am breakfast trail mix- nuts, granola, dried cranberries and raisins.
9:00am light yogurt-70 calories
11:30am turkey sandwich whole wheat no mayo and fruit
4:00pm- granola bar and fruit
6:00pm chicken breast and veggies (never any carbs for dinner)
I drink about a gallon a water a day.
From what I understand my basil metabolic rate(calories burned while being alive for 24 hours) is about 10 for calories for every pound I weigh. So for me is about 2,400 calories burned just for being alive.
So here the math:
(food intate)- (metabolic rate)= -400 (calorie deficit)+-1000 = -1,400 deficit almost daily not counting what I burn at work.
2,000 –2,400= -400+ -1000= -1400
Why am I not losing weight is 3 weeks too soon to expect results from this? What am I doing wrong? The only thing I can think of is doing 2 hrs of cardio and a hour of weight lifting a day, but my wife already thinks I’m in the gym too much and still have nothing to show for it please help. I actually gained 4.4 pounds since I started all of this. Again I’m getting to the point that I want to give up but I know I will be 260lbs if I let up on it. Also I’ve been to the doctor and they said my thyroid tested fine.
I am 5′4 and about 155 lbs, female and 20 years old. I am taking Acai vitamins and Alli. I want to loose around 15-20 lbs. I do yoga about 3 times a week, and ride the bike about 20 mins (about 3 miles), walk on the treadmile (usually for 10-15 mins or .5-1 mile), and lift weights (all about 3-4 times per week)..Will this plan work for me? How can I help myself? I wear a pedometer, how many steps should I be taking per day? I am eating healthy with fruits, veggies, salads, chicken etc.
Okay, i know i shouldn’t have done this but for the last 2 months i have been starving myself or “fasting” every couple days. It wasn’t in a row, but every few days. It was a mistake and i know now that it isn’t healthy, but if it was only for about 2-2 1/2 months, will it do anything major to my health? I am going to turn everything around and only eat healthy and exercise from now on but i don’t want to have any problems with my body. Will it do anything major if i turn everything around now?
I’m trying to get fit and lose some weight. I’ve tried many forms of exercise (mainly workout DVDs, spinning or other keep fit classes), but I usually last a couple of weeks then get really bored and never go back! I know that exercise has to be something I work into my life in the long term if I want to reap the benefits.
What I really do enjoy is walking! And I’m wondering if I start walking on my errands (shopping etc) rather than driving will this help me get fit and lose weight? I’ve calculated that my supermarket trips would equal about a three mile walk and there’s also a lovely park near me which I could do about the same length walk. If I do this a few times a week (three?) would I see results? I know it’s not cardio (which has given me great results in the past, if only I could stick at it!), but it’s something I might actually be able to sustain.
Any advice? I’d walk briskly and am considering getting a pedometer.
