Why am I not losing weight?

Answer 1

It sounds like you are doing the right things not only to lose weight, but to be healthier. You could be building muscle in addition to burning fat, and muscle weighs more fat. So it may seem like you're making no progress when in fact your body is leaner. (Having more muscle compared to fat will also improve your metabolism in the long run. The more muscle you build, the more your metabolism will improve, and eventually you will burn more calories and show a weight loss.) When I had a personal trainer, she paid more attention to the inches in diameter around my waist, thighs, arms, etc., than to my weight. She also used a body fat calculator to check progress. You could be toned, as evident in how your clothes may be fitting better, and not yet show any change on the scale.

Answer 2

I observed the publication to be very informative and handy to learn. I've misplaced 17 kilos in 12 days, I'm simply worried that I'm wasting an excessive amount of weight, too swiftly. I will admit I have not adopted the consultant precisely. I'm now not sticking flawlessly to the indexed meals and meal plans (however typically) and doing little or no endeavor, however the weight continues flying off. It certainly works and if I'd adopted it precisely I believe it might scare the dwelling daylights out of me due to the fact of the quantity that I'd lose. So thank you once more for the expertise. I've on no account bought some thing like this earlier than due to the fact they're in general stuffed with trash, however 3WD has been a high-quality shock. Get began in these days!

Answer 3

I've cut back my calories by more then half for a week and a half now and I'm just as stressed as you. But I'm not exercising. I am maintaining my weight. I'm eating so much healthier also. Maybe you are gaining muscle as you lose the fat which actually weighs more. Or maybe 130 is your healthy weight. That's not fat unless you are like 4'10".

Answer 4

if losing some pounds of any description is what you want then I used a great website and coach who helped me. They were very friendly and gave me lots of great advice. I needed to lose 40 pounds and I did so fairly easily. The website is www.myhealthabc.com once you fill in your details then you can see the full range of products they have. The products really work and you feel great whilst losing weight, its all nutrition based.
I lost all my weight in less than three months and they have helped me to keep it off. I would definitely recommend using them, the tips you get and encouragement are excellent (their advice and time is FREE). I am still with them so I stay healthy. If you just want to buy the products and not use the coaching then you can do that aswell, there is a link in there to email them so you can tell them you just want to buy and not speak to anyone. The owners will even advise you via email on what to purchase depending on what you want to lose, my sister did it this way (she was more self conscious than me) and lost 76 pounds in less than five months. These guys are just great, try them.
Hope this helps, Stephanie

1. Set goals for yourself. You'll be better able to make a realistic weight loss plan if you know how much weight you want to lose.
2. Do cardio exercises. You can pick and choose which exercise you want to do, depending on your fitness level and drive. For example: walking, jogging, using the stair stepper, using cross training machines, swimming, tennis, and basketball.
3. Work on your stomach. Do sit-ups or crunches every morning and night, gradually increasing the number until you reach your goal.
4. Eat healthy snacks when you feel hungry between meal times. Healthy snacks would be things high in fiber, fruits and vegetables. Avoid high sugar and high calorie snacks. This will help you get nutrients as well as help lower your appetite so you won't overeat during meals.
5. Eat breakfast. Do not skip breakfast. If you don't have time to prepare breakfast, buy healthy breakfast bars or those smoothies on the go. It is important to eat breakfast to jump start your metabolism and give you energy for the day.
6. Drink at least 8 cups of water a day. Stay hydrated. While you don't need 8 cups of water a day to stay hydrated, it'll make sure you're hydrated as well as cut down on your hunger levels and force you to get a little bit more exercise (trips to the sink, water cooler, water fountain, and bathroom).
7. Increase your fiber intake. Fiber acts as negative calories. It's also filling and healthy for your digestive system.
8. Cut down on high calorie/sugar drinks. This includes sodas and fruit juices. If you're a heavy soda drinker, permit yourself to only one diet soda per day, maximum. Just one extra soda each day can add 15 pounds. Recently, fizzy drinks, even diet ones, have been said to slow down metabolism.
9. Eat slowly and chew more. Take time to enjoy your meals. This will help you to finish at the same time as others, and you'll not be tempted by a second helping. Also, chewing more will ensure you get the most out of all the food and it will be digested faster. The more you chew, the more your appetite will be satiated.
10. Look for foods that are low in saturated fats and refined sugar, and that provide calories based on whole grains and proteins. These will keep you feeling full for longer, and prevent blood sugar spikes and crashes. Simple carbs like white bread acts almost like sugar.
11. Eat less, but eat more often. If possible, eat 4-5 meals a day. This helps your metabolism and blood sugar to stay level as well. This does require a change in your schedule.
12. Eat smaller meals and eat less within 6 hours of your bed time. You're less likely to burn the calories closer to your bed time. It's fine to eat a large breakfast and lunch because your body will be working on burning those calories for the whole day. Large dinners are likely to go unburned and converted into fat.
13. Find active friends. Find people that will drag you out to do more active things. It doesn't have to be much, but any exercise even walking around the mall is better than none.
14. Do some weight resistance training. Weight training (and resistance training) can help reshape your body. If you just lose fat, your body will stay in the same general shape, just smaller. Incorporating weight training will help change your body shape as well as build muscle. The more muscle you have the higher your metabolism will be. unlike cardio, with weights you body contiues to burn calories even at rest. The reason for this is that when you lift weights you essentially break down the little fibres in the muscles and your body burns calories all night repairing the muscle.
15. Keep a photographic diary. Take a picture of yourself monthly or weekly if you are going to be very dedicated to weight loss. Be careful though, don't let the photographs discourage you.
