Why have I not lost one single pound????????????

A: Too much cardio…do interval training for 45 minute to an hour max. Turkey wraps, weight watchers meals, smart ones..all processed foods which means high sodium–you are probably retaining water.

why aren’t I loosing weight since starting running?

Q: I’ve actually gained a pound. I stopped going to the gym because I wasn’t seeing results and started doing a home video. I did tone up with that but it was only a 30 day program. I started running about 3 weeks ago…5 or 6 days a week about 2 miles. Some times I go in intervals. I thought I would a least loose a pound instead of gaining one! I do eat very healthy and I have even cut a few calories from my daily diet. Any tips? I’m 5’8 132I’m actually just trying to get to 125…I feel the most comfortable there…I also want that runner long and lean look, just kind of tightened up.

A: Ironside is a little on the right track, what is probably going on with you is OK and totally normal. Your body had some fat to lose and with working out and running your losing some fat but gaining muscle which weighs more than fat. Don’t stop running though as he said, keep going and I promise you’ll see results if eating good (which you said). I might suggest this to get the lean runner look, instead of 5-6 days at about 2 miles each time out. Do like 4 days a week and go further say 3 X 1st day, 5 X 3rd day, 3 X 5th day, and 5 X 7th day. Then if want to do any other days just do some other workouts: cycle, weights, or any other cardio. I know I never wanted to lose weight when I started running and kept my same weight, but over time my body changed a good bit even though I kept my same weight. Good luck hope it get the way you want, feel free to contact if need more help.
