I was reading this week, how too much exercise can stall or damage weight loss. lots of articles online to check out. 

Try measuring waist, etc. Weight is affected by muscle to fat ratio although you may be losing inches. At least it’s down though. Have a good weekend! 

I think it’s all about how hard you push yourself at the gym? I’m trying to keep my heart rate in the fat burning zone rather than cardio zone! One hour on the bike each time and then some gentle weights to tone. I’ve got 2 months to go before my big 50 and a 5 week holiday in Indonesia so I’ll be fit even if I’m not any lighter!!! 

Don't worry, just keep at it. Your muscles will build up first so it's normal to see a gain before you start losing it! The important thing is to not get disheartened and give up.  

The only way you’ll stick with this is if you look for the NSV’s too! 🙋🏻‍♀️ The Non Scale Victories! Do some measuring and realise that every muscle you keep fired up and healthy is one more muscle that needs to be fed! LOL 😜 

Hi I know how you feel - last 3 weeks I’ve been 6 times a week ? And just do cardio .. routine 1..15 mins - cross trainer . Level 4 speed 15 2 .. 15 mins on bike - level 12 - at 94 3..Then 15 back on cross trainer as before .. take about 2/3 mins rest in between.. I’m sweating buckets .. might have to think about including weights 🤔 

This happens to me too...thinking of buying some swanky hi Tec scales...the ones that measure water, bone, muscle and fat...maybe they will tell a different story!!
