Hello! I posted a couple of days ago in another section of this forum and didnt get any responses. While i was lurking around today i found this spot. I think this is where i belong/ Im having a hard time losing weight, or i think im having a hard time. As i see its hard to lose weight when you are around your healthy BMI. Anyways, here is my original introduction post. :
Hello!
My name is Kupa and im trying to lose 28pounds or 12.7kgs. 147pounds to 121 (67 to 55kg) im 5'2 (159cm). 33 yo, Female.
I started gym at Feb 3rd this year. I workout 6 days a week, i have missed around 4 days of workouts. I started off with weight lifting, around 50 minutes a day combined with 40 minutes elliptical and treadmill. For a week i started going to the evening classes of the gym which included steps/aerobic, pilates and stuf like that, so for about 7 days i was doing around 2,5 hours of workout. Till of course i pulled a muscle so this week i just went to pilates(once a week).Im planning on going all in again next week. Thats my workout plan.
As for my diet, i wanted to go paleo, then i wanted to go low carb, didnt make it either, so basically im eating whole foods and counting calories.
I use the calorie counter from livestrong which is pretty nice. Besides the gym, i dont move around at all. I can call my life sedentary (thats why i want to go two times to the gym). For this reason my goal on the site is down to 960 calories a day (???) , i chose to ignore that cause i think its way too low. Anyways, on an average day i consume around 1200-1300 calories. Of those calories i burn around 500 a day? (1,5 hour gym).
While i was writing this i realized that at the beginning of the month i was undereating. Around 500-800 calories. Wow, didnt even notice.
So, since Feb the 3rd till now 13/3 (38 days), i have lost 1,5 kg , which is 3 pounds. I feel way much better, but i think i can go faster. Can i? Also, the 3 pounds is so low of an amount that it is fluctuating.
I know the best way is to go slow, i just think i need someone to tell me im doing something right or wrong.
Thanks for reading this far!
