New to Fitness Pal- last 5 to 10 pounds

radicalmom

Hi all. Any other exercisers out there who are trying to drop that last 5 to 10 stuborn pounds? I have had my frustrations in the past with other diets where physical activity was not accounted for and I would find myself "bonking" in exercise training. I am an endurance runner and cyclist. So I am hoping this will help me become a little more lean (and hopefully faster!) Myother issue I am trying to get a handle on is to be more mindful of my eating--eating when hungry rather than habit or stress/anxiety, fatigue. Writing down my foods is helping this already (in 2 weeks).

try switching up your exercise routine. Try something different that will shock your body. You may have hit a plateau. You can find some good exercises online and women's health or fitness magazines. good luck!

In addition to changing up exercise, try to change up your food. Your body gets used to eating the same amount of calories; try eating more for a few days and then going back to where you were. Your metabolism will have sped up from trying to keep up with the higher calories, and it should help get you out of your rut. Good luck!
