Gaining Muscle - no fat loss

bcattoes

I am super frustrated.

I've been trying to loose weight for over 10 months, and little has happened. I am switching to a mostly vegetable diet, but with little results.

Anyway. I've begun weight lifting... and I have gained a lot of muscle... but I just feel like I'm not loosing any fat. The scale won't budge and my measurements are the same as nine months ago!

Nothing is changing despite muscle building. I am feeling myself just giving up on trying to loose weight. My thyroid is fine... and its just... the weight won't come off no matter what I do.

Edit: But I will say that my clothes ARE fitting much better... I'm just stumped.

If you are eating at a deficit you are not building any muscle outside a pound or two of newbie gains. You normally lose muscle when you try to lose weight. You need a calorie surplus to build muscle.

If she hasn't lost any weight in 10 months, it would seem she is not eating at a defciit. If her weight has remained constant, then she's already eating at maintenance.

I've had the same problem for the last 9 months. I lost about 5kg real quick when I went on holidays (I stopped exercising), but when I came home and started exercising it all came back and wont go away!!!
