Hey everyone!!! Well i've been working
out now for about 3 months before I
started working out I was 6'0 199 pounds
now im 187-189. The thing is I don't
lose weight anymore.. I don't understand
why I run pretty much 5-6 days a week and
stay on the tred for an hour and do about
5 miles of those 5-6 days burning 1000
calories plus I do a little bit of weight
training but I cant seem to lose any fat..
I look the same as I did before I started
working out but I dont understand what
else I can do.. Should I give it more
time? Maybe make the workout on the tred
for an hour and a half or what. My
family says im having a weight plateu but
I dont see how I cant lose weight when I
dont drink coke anymore hardly only on
weekends I benge and I try to eat as
healthy as possible.. Any suggestions?

Your family is right - you are having a
weight plateau, within the next couple of
weeks you will see the scales going down
again, measure yourself with a measuring
tape rather than weigh yourself as this
will be more accurate. You are still
losing weight it's just not reflecting on
the scales, your brain has just haltered
proceedings until it get use to what's
happening with your body (if that makes
sense).
It's very normal. Mix up your cardio
workouts that way your body won't get use
to the same thing over and over and you
might have less weight plateaus.
Goodluck with it, try and keep the coke to
a minimum!!! :d

You also could be losing fat, and gaining
muscle. Therefore no difference on the
scales.
Also, looking at yourself in the mirror
everyday, you are not going to notice the
difference. Just keep going, and do not
worry about the weight scales so much.
It is body fat percentage that is
important, not your actual weight.
Also, do not even look at the bmi charts,
they suck.

Keep Up the Good Work =) Posted: 10-31-06 16:55pm
In the beginning of weight loss you will
tend to lose a lot of weight, but
eventually weight loss will slow down and
you will hit a plateau. I wouldnt give
up, keep up the good work and eventually
you will see results again, they probably
will not be as quick and large as your
initial results though. I wouldnt go by
weight as success, go by size and your
body mass %. Especially working out so
much and rigorously you're probably adding
a lot of muscle mass.

You might want to try ''kwando" the kind
of exercise with constant
movement,sweating a lot,which is make you
losing wieght,and its help you to increase
energy also...Just my 2 cents
