Help me - I'm not losing any weight - what am I doing wrong?!
Question:
Help me - I'm not losing any weight - what am I doing wrong?
For the last 6 weeks, I have been eating between 1000 and 1200 calories per day (strictly) over 5 meals a day. I have a personal trainer for 1hr once a week and workout at the gym 4 additional days a week (usually running on the treadmill (50mins to 1hr) two days and strength training (30mins) and treadmill (30mins) two days).
I returned to Australia 9 months ago and have steadily put on weight since so I decided to start a new approach. Prior to starting this new program, I barely excercised other than walking most places so expected the weight to just fall off me but nothing.
I am 33 next month and weigh 70kg (I would like to get back to around 58-60kg).
Can anyone please tell me what I am doing wrong because it is very discouraging and I am about to give up.
Thanks

This happened to me after I had my baby I was about 60 - 65kg and after I went up to 70... I have heard that after kids and after 30 the body shape changes in most people...
when I tried to loose weight, I didn't I just toned up really nicely and I was doing what you described... anyway I gave up the strength (weights) and just did cardio (bike and tredmill) and I finially lost the weight (muscle weighs more than fat...)
Try not doing any weights and just make yourself sweat everytime you do cardio. Good luck I am doing the same at the moment ... Damn fast food!
