Hi
Just wondered if anyone has experienced anything similar. For the last four weeks I have been doing 3/4 exercise sessions per week, average week being:
Body Attack (1 hour)
Ladies Boxing Circuits (1 hour)
Zumba Class (45 mins)
Swimming - 50 lengths (approx 30 mins)
I have been eating healthy - not counting or measuring though but an average day is:
Bowl of cereal for breakfast
Salad for lunch with chicken & couscous
Anything for evening meal e.g. roast dinner, spag bol, curry
I have been snacking on fruit and for last two weekends I have had some chocolate - one average chocolate bar each weekend e.g. double decker or kit kat.
I weigh 18 half stone and I have really controlled my eating. I know I am not following any particular diet but I would have thought that with the exercise and reduced food intake that I would be seeing results on the scales - I still weigh the same!
I do feel like my body shape is changing - I feel slimmer like I should have lost weight, I presume this is toning from the exercise but unfortunately I havent been taking any measurements.
Does anyone have any advice as to what I am doing wrong, I would love to know what else I need to do to start my weight loss.
I know if I had gone to WW or SW and not exercised I would have lost weight by now but I no longer want to obsess about following a diet / counting points syns etc I just want to get the balance of healthy eating and excercise - it has to be a complete lifestyle change if I want to lose the weight and keep it off as I have spent too many years losing weight and putting it back on (10 years!!) so this time I want to do it differently.
Would love to hear what your views on this are please.
