The middle of march I weighed in at 269 decided to do something about it. I had a lot of body fat so I started walking 40 minutes and doing light weights 20 almost everyday( I was totally new at this) and only taking in 1500 clean calories a day. I did that routine for 6 weeks and found myself at 238 lbs I was feeling alot better and had more energy for sure. So I took a week off and then started more into the weight training side of things leaving the treadmill behind for the most part(maybe 4 miles a week now). Im eating 2000 calories a day now and lifting every 3rd day and after that day I try to golf or do chores like wash my car or clean house or something like that and the following day I have a dumbell work out that takes fifteen minutes along with core workouts mixed in there I havent lost a single pound in the past 2 weeks Im at 226. I was wondering if I could get some feed back on thoughts of things I should change or maybe Im just gaining muscle and losing the fat (Im with out a body fat gauge), but I can lift double the amount of weight I could in the begining I usually push myself to the limit everytime
I was wondering if my dumbell workout could actually be hurting my muscle gain progress also
My daily food intake is as follows:
Breakfast alternating days between 2 eggs with ham peppers onions in a whole wheat wrap and other days protien shakes with 1 cup of nonfat milk 26g whey protien and fruit and ice
I go to work
mid morning I have a fruit cup and a cup of nonfat milk sometimes a handful of almonds
lunch usually chicken breast and veggies or nonfat yogurt and 1/2 cup of granola, if no time for that I eat a half of a protien bar then in 2 hours I eat the other half
mid afternoon I have dinner always around a 4 oz portion of chicken breast or fish and 1 time a week I have steak and always has a piece of fruit and some kind of veggie
I work out or do my dumbell routine
after workout I have a shake with nonfat greek yogurt 40g whey and fruit If Ijust do the dyumbell routine then I only have 26g protien
and then final snack I have a few almonds maybe or a piece of fruit
any feedback would be appreciated thanks
I also feel I have lose skin that is weighing me down, will that go away? Again anyfeedback will be considered thanks
