2 and a half stone lost...need help losing the rest

[hitchin04]

Over the past year I've gone from 14.8 stone to just over 12 stone.

I've done it all through reducing portions, eating better foods and for exercise I've been running 5 or 6 days a week.

The problem is that now I've injured my leg and can only do other forms of cardio which I can only burn about a third of the calories that I did when I ran.

I've changed my programme to cardio Monday- Wednesday- Friday with a weights workout on Tuesday and Thursday, working chest, shoulders and biceps but not much else.

I want to hear from anyone else that has had to stop their main source of exercise or from people who have gone from doing a lot of cardio over to weights...how has this been for your weight loss?

I'm still overweight and it's so frustrating to get so close and then have to slow down

Welcome to the forum.

Unfortunately I havent had the experience that you are asking about.

All I can suggest is that you post a thread in the section on exercise or in the area for experts (entitled something like "help needed when forced to change main form of exercise") in the hope that someone sees it there. Some people may be very focused on their projects and not checking all sections and may have missed your query.
