Need some help…. I use to weigh 19 stone about a year ago! I started a diet with NO EXERCISE and I was able to lose 2 stone, all I did was cut out junk food and fizzy drinks. It’s been 3 months now and I haven’t lost any weight not even a pound, I am doing the same diet but I am RUNNING ABOUT 2.5 Miles everyday. WERE AM I GOING WRONG?????

Don't look at the scales! Honestly there's no point in judging your weight loss by looking at your scales. Instead put on clothes that you were wearing 3 months ago and see how they feel on you. If the clothes are looser then what does it matter what you weigh in pounds/kilos/stones?
10 years ago I used to be 8 stones and a size 12, now I'm 9 and a half stone and size 10. Which one is better?
Anyway, when you exercise you may develop more muscles, which weigh a lot more than fat but take up less space than fat.
Good luck, carry on with your diet and fitness regime, I'm sure you'll get there!

hey...sometimes ur body gets used to a certain routine i.e y weight loss doesnt happen. what i suggest is that u give variation. i.e sometimes u can follow th cabbage soup diet for a week then go for salads with variations. the basic idea is that ur metabolism doesnt stop from burning the fat. if ur metabolism stops then u have a problem.there is also a three hour diet program where u r allowed to eat after three hrs but little little so that ur metabolism is functional.in this diet there is a certain selected material but not that strict. U CAN EVEN HAVE CHOCOLATE IN THIS ONE...YEAH!
EXERCISE Is the most essential part. it faciltiates burning and what u will acheive in 10 months without it u can acheive in half the time WITH IT!
good luck.

Do not give up, you are doing great! You may not be loosing weight because as you exercise you will build up some muscle mass, but you are probably still loosing some fat and toning up. Try not to only look at the scales. Try measuring yourself as well. You will become more slender, even if it doesn't show on the scales. good luck

You're not going wrong... You tend to notice more weight loss the bigger you are... It always seems harder after you've lost weight... keep going and you will slowly see a difference. Sit ups are one of the best exercise manouvers to help loose weight fast. Keep at it!

you are now using the excess fat and turning it into muscle, which actually weighs more than fat. try running every 3rd day and do other forms of exercise on the days you dont run, such as cycling or roller skating. Remember though not too much too quick, you need to build up slowly and give your body frequent breaks from daily exercise routines. For exaple for every 3 weeks of daily exercise,3 days of rest before commencing again.
Hope this helps

Try changing what you eat, when you first start a diet your body gets a shock and the weight drops off you, but then it wises up and gets used to what you are giving it.
Try alternating your exercise too, to circiuts, run, cycle but alternate.
It sounds like you have done excellently so far... good luck xxx

At 15 i'm uncertain you're able to weight that plenty. What place do you play? in spite of the incontrovertible fact that, i do no longer think of weight alleviation tablets are the respond. i'd attempt to observe what you consume, consume ingredients intense in fiber, and likewise perhaps carry out a little cardio. The BMI does not distinguish between physique fat and muscle. in case you desire to understand if your physique fat is to intense, then there are particular instruments that examine that. yet dont bypass via the BMI.
