Our bodies many times need time to rest and reccuperate from exercise....

I was on a five month stall... after seeing consistent weight loss for almost 10 months. I had not change my eating habits or exercise program. When your body loses weight it sometimes need time to readjust and find it's balance again. It may be that it is hanging onto your current fat until it determines that it is ready to lose again.

After my five months stall I started to lose again. Unfortunaltey there is not one answer that will tell you why you've stalled. Some of the suggestions you've recieved such as changing up your exercise program and re-looking at your food intake are things that have helped others.

Hang in there....

ok will see if i can change intensity at gym but atm hav to get use to wat i am doin atm cz stil find it a bit of a struggle but hope the stall dont last to much longer

RMR=Resting Metabolic Rate. RMR is your obligated daily calorie burn. This is the number of calories you need in order to stay alive and function normally. RMR predictably changes along with bodyweight fluctuations. As you drop weight, so goes your RMR. To compensate, you need to lower your calories consumed and/or raise your calories burned.

its all so complicated

what parts of the body should be measured then? and where do u call the hips though is it where u wear ur trouser waist or is it under where the belly hangs cz its dif for fat ppl cz we dnt hav waists lol

go to www.mybodycomp.com and sign up with them. It is free, and there you can track your progress. It will also explain where to measure for the certain bodypart. Some people are alarmed however at the high Bodyfat % they are getting from that site. I truly believe it to be correct, because I have used the BodPod (only 1-2% difference from the Underwater method, which is currently the most accurate way to measure) and I had the same numbers after measuring and inputting (?is that even a word ) my measurement into the Site.
Good luck

i hav noticed how ever that since i hav cut out take out food completely that my weight loss has stopped do u think this has any relavence?

OK now my weight has gone up by 3 KILOS in the past 2 weeks! wats goin on with that

oooooooooooooooooo baby!
seriously! go check out atkins or southbeach.. buy the books ! its so worth it.. and since you are already doing REALLY great with exercizing you are going to drop pounds like a crazy woman!!!!!!!!!! get on the train.
there are carbs in everything just about but meat.. and if your body is burning carbs for energy it is not burning fat. cut out most of the carbs and it has NO CHOICE but to burn the fat.. it is safe effective and believe me after the first few days you will have to force and i mean FORCE yourself to eat because it makes you so NOT hungry!
well, whatever you decide to do, i hope it goes well for you. You are doing terrific!!!!!!!!!!!

i cant afford books, is there any way i can dwn load them offline?

i checked the percentage of my body fat and its stil the same so is it pos the weight gain is muscle? or cz i hav been drinkin the past 2 sats for 1st time in over a year?

Everyone has a certain amount of 'untrained' muscle. Anything we do that happens to change our activity can potentially cause this 'untrained' muscle to adapt. In light of this, yes, it is possible that your weight gain is from added muscle.

Since you first started this thread, what modifications/changes have you made to your nutrition and exercise plan?

My local library in a small town in the middle of nowhere has FOUR copies of the Dr atkins book!!!!!!!!

its FREE~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and you can renew renew renew!

yes but i dnt go out i try not to and cudnt go liabrary

the adjustments i have made is a few in the gym with intensity and nutrition have cut dwn a smal bit more on carbs and eatin even les portions then i did b4

i just weighed my self on my body fat analyser scales, and although iv put on sum kilos my body fat percentage is down by 1% does this porve that its only muscles iv put on?

It sounds like you are experiencing some of the best of both worlds. A 1% drop in bodyfat is great!
