plateau with exercise :(

edited February 25 in Fitness and Exercise
so i have lost a lot of weight and am looking skinny and everyone is always complaining about how thin i look. all that is making me really lazy about exercise. i work out for at least 40 minutes every day and now i am having an existential crisis with the following points haunting me:

-i dont need to lose more, so why exercise
-cant i just eat moderately and skip exercise
-i feel so unmotivated now that there is no goal

any advice guys?

    well, you kind of answered it yourself. You need to get yourself a new goal.

    Cardiovascular goals: PR on a mile run (aim for 5 min)/swim, Do a marathon (if you haven't already)/triathalon/adventure racing
    Strength: Compete in lifts, looks, etcetera...

    You first got to find something to strive for and then keep building on that.

    Start lifting heavy weights if you don't already. It's still a great workout and instead of getting thinner, you may in fact put on a little weight from muscle gains, but it will really help your overall physique and body definition.

    However, in all reality, if you enjoy working out, then keep doing it. Workout, eat at maintenance level with lots of nutrient dense foods, especially protein, and do what makes you happy.

    Here is an insight you might not here any where else..

    First of all you are ultra depleted which means the type of training you are doing is not Fitness its an addiction to exertion fatique..and a Barbarian at the gate approach to your body..

    You should be feeling a life force.. a life force so amazing that you can rip off your clothes to the world walk bare naked down the middle of Main street and be Damn proud of it..

    Hers what i recommend.. do not work out for 72 hours.. end of story..

    Whats happening is you have so many lipolytic enzymes scavenging ever once of skeletal tissue that they are robbing you of food energy..life force and will power

    Please take a cool shower first thing every morning and again before bed..turn thermostate down to mid 70 to try and recharge adrenalin glands. Your thermal core temp is simply running way to hot and the ratio of brown adipose to white adipose is out of balance for your feminine frame.

    next calculate your protein number ( Pn#) .. defined as your baseline biometric of your metabolic need..

    this will be the hardest to do or to acknowledge as the truth . As to properly restore life force you will need a protein cocktail. which is the combination of a whole food protein, a substrate protein and/ or adjunct proten.. thes ethree come from different sources all in one sitting..

    Doing so will reboot and replensihed your incredibly depleted system..

    Your protein number (Pn#) is mother natures master metabolic key.. once you have this pinpointed its yours for life..dont loose it..

    in addition to your protein cocktail .. it will also be necessary to consume high alkaline water in the 8.5 9.0 to 9.5 ph but not higher.. dont do 10 as the distance in your blood plasma is way to acidic right now to handle level 10ph

    drink it cold.. put them in the freezer..you will notice they will not freeze solid all the way..Drink them thrugh the day for the 72 hours..


    Once you have gotten this far.. email me and then we can reboot your exercise and put to gether awesome lesson plabns around workouts that rock .. and restore your lifeforce to where it suppose to be..

    Your backstory would excellent in helping others in your same shoes and for my blog..

    let me know what you think or if you have any questions.. If you need the protein number info(Pn#)
    Dont try doing anything competitive or reivneting your discipline or competing in any sort of challenge.. you dont have the energy to win and its not going to do anything but wear you down further.

    contact me if you are so inclined and i will provide the thermal effect of food formula..which I had to modifiy to fit the variability of the general population

    1. Please don't listen to the above DanceswithWow poster. Peddling anything is against the MFP forum rules.

    2. Have you started to lift weights? You will not get bulky, but more lean and "toned" looking. This gives you a goal as well, to gain strength!

    You didn't actually submit research. You submitted a large, awkward, random assemblage of sentences. In fact, the sentences you apparently kidnapped in the dead of night and forced into this violent and arbitrary plan of yours clearly seemed to be placed on the thread against their will. Reading your post was like watching unfamiliar, uncomfortable people interact at a cocktail party that no one wanted to attend in the first place. You didn't submit research. You submitted a hostage situation.
