Been on my diet since June this year and have only managed to lose 9lb so far. I have spoken to the doctor who ran bloods and all is well and I am currently seeing the health care assistant for weigh-ins. My weight just isn't budging!
On Friday we went through my food and exercise diary for last month. The food is all ok, but she thinks I'm doing too much exercise??? Apparently too much exercise has the same effect as too little food and the body goes into famine mode! Has anybody else heard of this?
I was doing an hour Mon/Wed/Fri (split into 2 x 30 mins) and 30 mins on Tues/Thurs with a good walk or short bike ride with my 4 year old at the weekend. She has suggested that I cut this down to 30 mins 3 times a week!
I need to lose 4 stone to be my 'ideal weight' but want to lose 2 st before trying for another baby.
Anyone got any thoughts on this and any suggestions on how to get the weight shifting.
Any replies greatly appreciated!
