Well I love exercise, always have, I know it may sound weird to some. So last wek, in an effort to massively increase my weight losses, I hammered the exercise. Here's what I did:
Monday. - Gym workout (exercise bike & treadmill, couple weights)
Tuesday - 7 mile power walk in under 2 hrs
Wednesday - swimming (40 lengths)
Thursday - Salsa dancing 2hrs non-stop (very energetic)
Friday - 12 mile cycle ride
Saturday - 5.5 mile difficult hill walk (a lot of climbing)
Sunday - rest day although spent 3hrs in kitchen cleaning fridge, cooker etc.
So.....as you can see, I did hammer it. I was sooo excited going for my weigh in on Tuesday, especially as I felt so much slimmer than lastweek and I had comments on how much slimmer I loked. So you can imagine my devastation when I stepped on the scales and only lost 1.5lbs, despite being 1000% TFR!!!
Anyway thats the story and I've always believed that excercise slowing down weight losswas nonsense but it appears not. So I searched the internet to look for something to confirm exercise can slow down weight liss and found an old thread dating back to 2009 on this site so here is rhe link that explains it. Basically my body has gone into starvation mode so is hanging on for dear life to my fat!!!
Hope this information helps you:
