I am struggling with weightloss here. I turn 40 in 2 weeks, measure 5'11" and weight 224 lbs. The last few weeks I have been bouncing around 221 to 224.
I hit the gym w/ a personal trainer 30 minutes a day, 3 times a week. I am currently doing 30 minutes of cardio 6 days a week. All to no avail.
My eating habits have changed. From 3 times a day at approx 1200 cal a day. To 5 times a day for 1600 calories a day.
Needless to say, after 4 weeks of this with no weightloss, the clothes aren't fitting any looser etc... I am getting real frustrated.
So I have thought about changing my cardio to 45 minutes a day. BUT, 30 minutes in the morning, 15 minutes in the late afternoon. (I can do this as I work from home)
Do you all think this is a viable approach? I plan on asking my PT this evening too, but information is key!
I was having the same problems. My weight was around 230 and at 6-2 for height. I couldn't run because of worn knee joints. I have biked, and kayaked to no avail. Got down to around 220 but no less usually. I started P90X and 90 days later with a proper diet dropped from a 40 waist to a 34. Dropped from 217 to 193 and now I feel great. These are some extreme workouts but they work. My wife went from 190 to 134 using the Slim in 6 and Walking Away the Pounds but I still think P90X is the way to go. I have never felt stronger, more flexible, or healthy in my lifetime. At 48 years of age I can do anything that I did when I was 20. We both have profile pages as well on the internet to help others reach their goals.
