Slow weight loss

kcrino2002

It has been discouraging to not see the scale going down. I have been coming way under my calorie intake for the day after exercise but don't understand why I am not shedding the pounds. I am being told that if I am lifting weights as well as cardio that I may acctually gain weight. I guess that is fine as long as I get cut, that is the main goal. I want to look better than I have ever looked by the time I am 40!!

I'm not an expert here, but for everthing I have read on here you should not go under your calorie goal because that slows down your metobolism...also you should eat back some of your excercise calories.... Try eating a little bit more and you will see the scale go down

BTW, are you Tico?? pura vida!

Eat more of your exercise cals........................ AND when you weigh yourself each week, also measure your inches. THAT is a shocker!!!! I haven't lost weight in 2 months. BUT I've lost 3 inches. THATS HUGE to me!

Wow, I would not have thought that keeping your calories at the recommended level would help. I figured that less is better, God knows I could eat more with no problem!! No I am not Tico but I lived there for 3 years and love the people and that country.

That's a good idea to take measurements, I will start to do that. If I could lose a couple inches in spots and gain them in others would be great!

I am very jealous! I can not wait till I can go back and retire. I am hoping to move back to San Carlos if I can.
