By everyone saying they are scared of plateau's...what does that mean? Does it mean something like my problem? My problem is the first 2 months i started my diet and excercising i lost around 20 pounds and now im eating healthier than i was in those other 2 months and excercising more and more differently so why am i not losing any more weight.

Sometimes during the first 2 months while i was losing all my weight i ate the school's lunch which was chicken fingers and fries then sometimes it was potato wedges and pizza and lost weight still and i just at like around 3 meals a day. Now i eat 5-6 smaller meals and not losing weight i eat mostly chicken fish lean meats veggies and fruits. Then once a week when i have my reward meal. So whats the deal if you understand what all im talking about?
 
the first month or two are what most people would consider your "newbie" gains, its when you lose the most cause your bosy isnt used to doing any excersise, after a few months your body does what its best at, that is it adapts to the excersise, if you feel its going slow try mixing up your diet and excerises so you can get out of it, if that doesnt work just keep at it and you will break your plateau and you will get back to your losses or gains what ever your doing.
 
This is my workout I do a Half of a mile part of it is going up hill then i walk around a church 1 time run around it 2 times walk 1 time run 2 times until i have ran 10 laps around it and then i run another half mile partly up hill. Then run again around the church it all equals up to 2 miles i just boosted my work out up this week i was just running 1 mile then i was dong 1.5 miles now 2. So you guys are saying thats too much? If ya are maybe i could just keep doing 1 mile's and get a Tae-Bo tape and workout with that because i heard it helps ya what do you guys think?
 
For about a month now around my left outer thigh muscle its been sore when u touch it but like when im running walking or whatever not sore just when u touch it, it feels numb sometimes whats causing this? My leg muscle's are gettin really strong because of all the running am i doing to much?
 
Tae bo is very good :) I reccomend it, but I warn you...Billy is tough :p Funny, but tough :p

Maybe look into some weights, you posted your age somewhere, and you're about my age, so it shouldn't effect your growth or anything. Maybe just get a couple of 5 pounders. Just make sure you warm up before doing weights, warm down, and stretch. Possibly even stretch before, but I dunno if stretching before is good or not.
Also, possibly invest in a dance video :)
 
I have billy's Favortie Tae-Bo moves and they are tuff so im thinkin about gettin a beginners level one would that work?? I could just work myself up to harder ones right?
 
I got taebo Jam, and i checked caloriesperhour.com you can lose 800 calories in an hour of moderate taebo workout!! WHOA!

While with brisk walking you'll just lose 300 calories!
 
makes me sweat like a pig. im pretty sure it's moderate taebo, coz that's the lowest type of taebo workout in the list.. the others are vigorous and very vigorous.

im gonna do it twice a day if i can! i wanna lose weight before the end of march.. I have to coz my friends are gonna come visit me. I gained weight ever since I moved here and I really really have to lose weight!
 
Manderus, try something for me

Take a break, stop what your doing for a week. Continue eating well.

Also, have you noticed you feel ill more than usual? Maybe your muscles twitching?

Take a break, make sure your not overtraining.

By all means, you should be losing unless your eating too little calories. Lets explore the overtraining avenue first and foremost.
 
So your telling me to stop running for a week? or Stop Excercising for a week? But yes my thigh muscle when i touch it its a little tender feeling and when i lay down in my bed with my electric blanket on it tingles.
 
how many times a week do you run? How about any weight training.

Bottom line is, there is something wrong with your program, from what your telling us, you eat very well. We'll get to the bottom of it, we just need to figure out whats all screwed up.
 
I run about 5-6 days a week, I dont do weight training, when im running to work my arms out i dribble the basketball for a mile. See for the past 1/2 month i havnt lost any weight so i up'ed my running to 2 miles now.
 
My home computer is broken, the only one i have is the one I use at work, AIM and stuff is blocked. you can email me at aevans410@gmail.com, I check it a few times a day though.

Take a week off of running though, then when you go back to it, run 3 days a week. If you have access to a gym you may try an alternate form of cardio also, maybe your body has adapted to running.
 
Do you know how much i would worry myself when i wasnt running I'm A very big worrier!!! Hey aevens one day for lunch could i take a sandwich like this to school and eat with some fruit like a turkey sandwich 2 slices of 100% whole wheat bread slices of turkey, fat free mayo, lots of lettuce and salt and pepper. Or would that be kinda unhealthy? Or would u just rather me eat a salad with fat free dressing and an orange
