[lizi123]

I am 5 4, 35 years old.  I am about 70lbs overweight.  I started working out and really watching what I eat a month ago.  I have been doing an hr 6 days a week.  30 min cardio and 30 weights.  I dont see any real progress and the scale is not moving much just a few pounds.  What is going on ?  Any answers would be really helpful. Thanks

When focusing on weight loss instead of measuring on a scale try measuring yourself with a tape measure and see the inches come off. It is common the inches go first before the weight drops off. Next I would look at your diet, how many meals a day? Portion size? % of fat, carbs, protein consuming in a day approx? Do you et late at night? Are you eating to many calories for your body? How much sodium are you taking in as that can cause you to retain water? Lastly, have you checked your thyroid levels?

Hi

Firstly you should understand that a lot of patience and perseverance is indeed required in any weight loss programme.

Regular aerobic exercise is important in reducing weight as well as reversing any risk of developing heart disease. Most experts recommend 30-60 minutes of aerobic exercise three or four days a week, along with two or three days of weight-bearing, resistance exercise (such as weight lifting). This is sufficient to achieve satisfying results. You can exercise daily or on alternate days, depending on the availability of time.

Walking is one of the simplest aerobic exercises. You can vary the intensity to match your fitness level. Brisk walking, cycling, jogging, skipping, step aerobics, swimming and aerobic dance are the various other aerobic exercises which you can perform.
Besides your regime should also involve some toning exercises such as abdominal crunches and oblique crunches. You should include regular warm up and cool down exercises in your schedule. You should take small and frequent meals and also take care of what you eat. Avoid any junk food, overeating, soft drinks.

However, any aerobic schedule should be started only after consulting a doctor or physiotherapist

Hope it helps!
