No results

Start logging, even if it is for a week. because even eating healthy you could still be eating at maintenance or higher. weigh, measure and log everything. Calories in vs calories out. I don't eat healthy all the time but I log all my food and fit everything into my allotted calories.

This is just my opinion: The treadmill can be good cardio, but shouldn't shed inches like doing strength or core workouts. Counting calories is also efficient since you know exactly how many is going in.

If you don't want to spend any money, look up Fitness Blender on youtube and see if some of there videos could be useful to you. I just started using their videos and I think they're professional and my whole body hurts after each workout. These videos will target areas better than simply walking/running on a treadmill.

I think counting calories won't hurt you for a little while (at least to see if it could help) and try something besides the treadmill. It seems what you are doing isn't working, so try something else.

I eat plenty and always eat the right foods

This line is also very telling. The "right foods" do not exist. There are no "good" or "bad" foods, just reasonable and unreasonable portion sizes. You are eating too much. I am literally willing to bet $2,000 cash on that.

If you go to

and enter your height/weight/activity level, it will tell you the number of calories you are burning every day through your daily activities.

Subtract 10-20% from the number that it calculates for you, and that is the number of calories you should be eating a day in order to lose weight. Super easy.

Eating healthy does not equal weight loss. You can eat healthy and still eat more calories than you need. Great for your health in general, not going to help you lose weight though.

So I have been exercising and eating healthier for about 5 weeks now. I know I shouldn't expect instant results but at this point I should see something.

I don't count calories but I just eat really healthy full sized portions. I run/walk on an incline on the treadmill 5 days a week for around 45-60min. I have been measuring my thighs and stomach as well and yet there is no difference.

I eat plenty and always eat the right foods, but nothing is making a difference.

Can someone please help me figure out why? Or is it just going to take longer until I see results? thank you.

Welcome. The bottom line is all the healthy eating in the world won't lead to weight loss unless you eat less calories than you burn. For many of us, this means weighing all our food and logging. For others it means just cutting down until they start losing weight. You need to find the method that works for you.

Calories in/calories out.

Calories in/calories out.

Log, log, log.

There is also the fact that if you only do the same exercise all the time, your body adapts and becomes more efficient at that exercise, which means it takes longer and/or higher intensity to burn the same amount of calories you did when you started.

I agree that not counting calories is a big part of the issue, and that there is no real "good" food from a caloric intake perspective. Sure, you can eat all organic or whatever you quantify as good, but if you eat "full sized" portions that are on par with the average American estimation of said portions, it means you're likely eating 2-3 servings with each portion, and often doubling if not more the amount of calories you are taking in.

While people can often continue to see results from doing things like a treadmill every day, most people who see consistent results with repetitive exercise like that are people moving from a sedentary lifestyle and high weight to utilizing such things for the first time. Even so, everyone's body will learn to do those exercises more efficiently over time. An easy way to get the best "bang for your buck" is to put variety into your routine, especially now that you've established a routine of working out consistently 5 days a week. Swap out some of those treadmill minutes for strength training or even calisthenics, just something different so there's a little bit of a mix going on.
