About 3 weeks ago I started doing some light weight lifting (5lb. dumbbells) and abdominal exercises, along with my regular routine of walking about 40 min. a day and consuming between 1200 - 1300 calories. I continued to lose weight....that is, up until this week. I weighed myself this morning, and didn't lose a pound this week. Needless to say, I am a bit sad and discouraged. I thought that adding weights would speed up my metabolism and help me burn more calories. Simple math tells me I should have lost weight...but, as I already said, I didn't
I know it's only a week, but I just needed to vent my frustration....thanks for listening!
