    Here are my two cents ladies... take it for what it is :)

    defor5050: It's not necessarily the type of exercise, but your intensity. Sure, there are exercises that burn more calories than others. However, if you've been doing the same fitness routine at the same intensity for more than a month or so, you may no longer be burning the same number of calories now as you were in the beginning. With time, our bodies become more efficient in our physical efforts, therefore we use less energy (calories) to move. Try switching up your intensity for a week or two and see if your weight starts to change :)

    hazelclark: weightloss is 80% nutrition and 20% exercise. So good for you to be adding lean meat and fish into your daily diet. Consider how many calories you're taking in. At the end of the day, it's all about creating that deficit. You could be eating all the right foods, but if you're eating more than your burning through the day your weight isn't going to shift.

    Feel free to send me a friend request or message me if you have any other thoughts/questions.
    Good Luck on you journey!!!
