Stopped losing weight -_-

Alarmed_one

So I was doing great with my weight loss just based on diet, I’m really good at not over eating and not eating crap..... well, since I started going to the gym (almost 2 weeks now) I 100% stoped losing weight. I’m eating the same as I have been eating and working my butt off in the gym. Am I doing something wrong? Should I eat less? More? Work out harder? My heart rate has been from 160-185 while I work out. I honestly don’t have to lose much weight though, I’m mainly going to get stronger and tighten everything up nicely. I do have about 13lbs to still lose though. Any suggestions welcome. Thank you.

Well it sounds like getting to needing to lose 13lbs more you are close to your goal so weight loss will slow.

IF you are really strength training or trying to gain muscle then you should increase your calories cause your body is going to need that for muscle growth.

Your heart rate being 160-185 seems pretty high. that has to be max and be careful. Is that when you are doing cardio?

you might wish to consult a nutritionist and trainer to help you.

it'll be water weight from adding in the exercise.

the scales will move eventually, don't worry about it, its normal for your weight to fluctuate.

if you use MFP numbers you should be eating back at least a portion if your exercise cals.

2 weeks is not long. Probably water weight and sometimes it can take a month to get that water weight to flush. Ironically it usually happens when you have a binge food day. Keep on track and look long term.

and a binge day can wipe out a weekly deficit too
