Too much exercise

I also noticed as soon as i finally started getting serious about exercise the weight stopped coming off as fast, i used to go down a little everyday it seemed and now ive went up, and then finally back to where i was over a week ago, it kinda sucks sometimes but at the same time, I noticed my jeans were loser, and as im getting closer to goal i also realize its not really a number im looking for its more of a toning i need, sooo im trying to just be happy with that!! You seem to be getting to a pretty low weight as well, so maybe try to go by how your clothes fit!! Im trying to keep that in mind yet i just feel like my hard work SHOWS (to me) when the little numbers go down. hehe

You have the right Idea there being fit is more important than weight because having more muscle will help in your fitness this weighing more than if it was fat and just weight loss. Plus you will feel a lot better.

Is there such a thing? A person on here mentioned you can plateau easy if you workout too much. I'm starting to go to the gym everyday now. Working on building muscle and only doing 30 mins of cardio instead of the hour and a half of cardio I was doing. Am I setting my self up to not hit my weight goals?

Also, I have shifted my focus from losing weight to getting fit. I think if I exercise and add more weights I will have a toned body, and weight loss will just be a side effect

You are absolutely right. If you exercise and add more weight, you will burn more calories overall. Although it differs from person to person, on average you will burn an extra 13 calories per day for every 1lb of lean muscle mass you add. It may not seem like much but it adds up fast.

As far as working out too much, yes it can happen. it's called over-training. Your body needs time to recover. Remember, muscles grow when you're resting. they get broken down when you're working out. So workout, then give them time to recover. Also, and probably most importantly, you want to avoid CNS overload. Your central nervous system can get overloaded form working out too hard and too often. When that happens, you do more damage than good when working out. Rest is extremely important.

Shifting goals seems like a good idea too. more often than not, people are worried about "losing weight" when they should be worried about "losing fat." Sure, it's great if you can lose 10 lbs. But what good does it do if you lose 10lbs of muscle and no fat? Sure, you are lighter, but you are in worse shape than you were before! Instead, focus on getting "fit" and worry about bodyfat percentage.

It looks like you are on the right track and have the right goals set. You should be seeing results in no time!

The question I always ask myself is; "Will I always exercise so much for the rest of my life?" If not, then I anticipate my weight will slowly creep up once I start exercising less. I think 30 minutes of intense physical activity with weight training a couple times a week is fantastic. Not only will you reach your goals of being physically fit (instead of just losing weight), it's a schedule that is easier to maintain over time. I also agree that your clothes are the best indicators that you body is changing, not the scale.
