  • Sounds like you are doing all the right things. It is normal to plateau every so often, have patience and you will start losing again. I am learning to lift weights and I am regularly increasing my weights, but my trainer has me going down to lighter weights for a week or so before building up again as he says otherwise I…
    in Am I doing something wrong with weight loss? Comment by ninoratsoc April 6
  • I'm 68 and have a very slow metabolism due to hypothyroidism and pre-diabetes. I also have angina if I exercise strenuously - all of this makes losing weight very difficult for me and has caused me to sink into deep depression. I am currently trialling the fast800 diet which limits me to 800 calories a day (no simple…

  • I've always believed that if you reduce your food intake and increase exercise you would lose weight, and when I was younger it was true. I eat a very healthy diet, mostly vegetables and protein, I try to avoid starchy foods. I have never indulged in "junk" food, and I don't like any food or drink that contains sugar. I…

  • You have to do whatever works for you because we are not all the same! I exercise a lot and I couldn't understand why I wasn't losing weight. I was flogging myself for two hours every day in the gym and I was staying well within my calorie allowance but just wasn't losing OK so two pounds in six months - not worth all that…
    in Exercise increasing my caloric intake? Comment by ninoratsoc July 2014
  • I've tried WW several times but never lost weight with them I prefer calorie counting because it is so straightforward. It's scientific - if you eat more than you expend you gain weight, if you eat less you lose weight - so simple. It is working for me and it is the only thing that does. When I was younger I could have…

  • Elliptical definitely burns more if you are using the arms at the same time - that is why you burn more than the treadmill. If you don't use the arms on the elliptical then it is about the same as the treadmill. Interval training is best, and it helps alleviate the boredom. I tend to use all the machines in the gym and…
