I decided to train for a 1/2 marathon a little over 7 weeks ago. I started out at 5'7" and 240lbs. (Yes, I am verymuch overweight, but I have an odd body type where I look like I am only slightly overweight! No one who knows me thinks I could weight anywhere near even 200lbs.) Anyway, I have not tried to "diet", but I also have not been eating anymore than I was before. I eat fairly healthy since I am feeding my family healthy foods.
Back to the training, I am up to speedwalking/jogging 3.1 miles a day (5k) and have been for about 2 weeks. I lift weights here and there, but mainly stick with the walking. My heart rate is usually between 135 and 160 for approximately 40 minutes during the main part of my workout. But....I have not lost ANY weight! It wasn't my goal to lose weight when I started, but expected a few pounds since I had not been moving much before I started this. I just think it is weird. I know you build muscle and that weighs more than fat...blah blah blah, but c'mon!!!
