 Posted: 05/31/07 - 08:39 Post subject: Putting weight on despite burning 400-950 calories a day exe |
  |
|
I joined a gym in March 2006 and initially lost weight however since June 2006 I have gained 1 stone in weight and 3" to my waist. It is not muscle - it is fat! My waist has gone up 1.5" in the last 5 weeks. I have a very good diet as I am vegan and eat typically between 1,100 and 1,700 (weekends) calories a day - no fast carbs. I have been wearing a heart monitor and I am burning between 400 and 950 calories a day exercising (CV, pilates, aqua and gym and walking). I have also started doing 15 minutes CV before breakfast 3 times a week to kick start my metabolism. I have also upped my protein intake and now drink 1 or 2 protein shakes a day in addition to taking NO compound before bed to speed up my metabolism. I do not have a theoroid problem as I have had this checked. The irony is that I was slimmer and able to diet easily when I did no exercise! My gym instructors are all at a loss and I have getting extremely depressed with the weight gain. Any suggestions?  |

|

| Hi there! I totally can appreciate your situation, as I am in the same boat. I started working out since January 2008 untill now, I have been working out with a trainer, lifting weights and doing cardio 4 times per week. I'm so frustrated, because I continue to gain weight and all my clothes fit me tighter. Just like you, I eat healthy and watch how many calories I eat. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I weigh the most i have ever weighed in my life (by at least 12 lbs) and I can't seem to be able to shed one pound. All my measurements have also gone up from 1.5 -2 inches. I easily have gained 3 lbs just in this one week alone. I have never gained this much weight and this quickly. I was just wondering it you were able to figure out why you gained weight so quickly or if you found something to help you lose the weight. Thanks in advance for your help. |

|
|
| At christmas I was 9 stone. Today I am 11 stone 1! Thats a weight gain of 2 stone in 5 months. I have no idea why, I don't eat rubbish and take aways etc and I go to the gym 5-7 times a week. People keep saying that its muscle but its not because 2 weeks ago I was 10 stone 1 and now i'm fat again. I had lost over 3 stone and now i've put over half back on in such a short space of time. Its really making me depressed. Any thoughts? |
