Not losing weight - What can I do differently? I want to lose 1.5 lbs per week.

I am trying to lose 10 lbs. I currently weigh 135 lbs. I have been working out 6 days per week. 4 days of strength training and 6 days of cardio. I do 30-40 mins of cardio. I have been eating better foods, chicken and fish with a vegtable. Fruit every morning for breakfast. I do not eat any breads or carbs right now. Typically in the past, they make me gain weight. The low carb thing works for me. BUT, in 3 weeks I feel slimmer, my clothes are a little looser, but I have not lost a lb. What is wrong? I probably eat 1000 calories per day.

Your strength training is adding muscle mass which is heavier than fat. You will look toned and tight but will weigh the same. Darling you look marvelous, keep up the great work.

Good luck and best wishes.

you're not eating enough- you shouldnt go below 1200, or your body adapts to the low calorie diet thinking you're in famine, and holds onto the calories. also, it may burn off lean muscle, lowering your metabolism. i think this can also happen if you have too great a calorie deficit..750 i think is the limit? not sure

your metabolism will also lower, by burning off lean muscle, if there is absolutely no carbs in your diet. include a bit of carbs, just make a good choice in which kind of carbs. small servings of things like wholegrain, wholewheat bread, rice, etc. the ultimate carb to include is oats. half a cup with water is 150 calories and a goldmine of good nutrition. apparently athletes only eat oats for carbs.

I think that 1.5 lbs is alot to loose per wk, over training and less rest will mess you up. Personally I would make a total goal, how much per month usually 8-10lbs is a good start. Once your body is at this high level of training it will want to stay there. So when you feel that you've lost the weight and the training slows down your body will start to store fat because of the overload of calorie intake to keep up with the workout.
