Thanks, I think that is most def what's happening!0 -
I appreciate everyone's advice, it's was very helpful, and eye-opening. I will definitely be logging my cheat meal, and paying better attention to my food intake. I gained 2kgs in the first 2 weeks of weight training, it's been 7 weeks in total, cardio 125mins 5xpw, 160mins strenth 4xpw, so I should be definitely been losing fat. I have only checked body fat % with tape measurements, I'll ask at my gym for a calipre measurement instead. And invest in a fitbit or similar workout device to track calories burned. Would like to be able to "eat back" half of calories burned, I get quite hungry during the week so come the weekend I cheat way too much.
Thanks Ladies!0 -
Just a quick update, and a big thank you to everyone for the advice!! I started logging EVERYTHING, and changed my cheat "days" to cheat meals (only one pw). Lost 3.2 kgs in 3 weeks and quite a few cm's!
Averaging on 1.1kgs loss pw! Weekly average of 1300-1400 per day calorie intake and don't feel starved or deprived, everything in moderation. Thanks for the advice and support! Please feel free to add me as a friend. Xxx3 -
Omg finally I am relevant! I just saw this post, I know it's a bit dated, but I got very excited to find people with similar stats. 5'5 148 lbs currently, been hovering around the 150 mark for a long time, though!
I do circuit training 5-6 times a week with weights incorporated. I have had a similar experience - strength and muscle definition is great, but weight loss is SLOW and measurements are not really changing anymore. My clothes are fitting better so I can't really tell what's happening. If only I had a reliable way to measure body fat. My goal is to get into the 135 range, and also to put on a bit of muscle.
My calorie allowance is currently 1500 day, recently lowered from 1600. Just wanted to drop in and introduce myself! I'm gonna add you2 -
