I am wondering if anyone has an idea about what is going wrong with my weightloss. I've managed to get down from 273 to 230 over the past four months and suddenly I stopped losing weight about a month ago now. I eat a low GI/GL diet a typical day is as follows.
06:00 Walk the dog a fast walking pace for 40-45 minutes
07:00 Breakfast: Bowl of Bran flakes with low-fat greek yoghurt and blueberries, Green Tea
09:30-10:00 either a lowfat yoghurt or large handful of mixed nuts and fruit and maybe an apple
12:00-12:30 a sandwich using 2 small slices of soya & lindseed bread with turkey and salad using a soya alternative to spread and lowfat cheese spread
and an orange of sorts or another apple
15:00 more fruit and nuts
17:00 between 1 and 2 hours in the gym depending on which training I do, I alternate one day will be cardio which is usually 30 minutes on the elliptical trainer followed by 20 minutes rower then 20 minutes on either treadmill or cycle. then the next day will be 3 circuits total body weight training 15 reps concentrating on resistance
19:00-20:00 evening meal typicaly chicken with salad and couscous or another new meal from a low GI/GL cookbook
20:30 another 30 minutes walking the dog.
I think it all sounds allright but the scales havent moved in nearly four weeks and the belt hasnt come in any yet. but I AM looking better in the mirror I still want to lose about another 20lbs and feel as if Ive hit the wall.
I guess Im just after releasing my frustration and would love to hear if anyone can recommend a change. Im worried in case Im not eating enough. I am about 183 and 230lbs and I starting getting dizzy when stretching off at end of workout.
Please help
