Weights > Cardio??

  • I've been doing about 15-30 mins of cardio and focusing on weight training. trying to lose 50lbs. Ive lost no inches or even ounces in this past 2 weeks (just started)

    sugestions?
  • Two weeks is a very short period of time, I'd give it much longer than two weeks. What does your eating plan look like?
  • If you are lifting weights, your body will gain muscle mass, and muscle weighs more than fat, so it's not unusual to gain a bit when first starting. Also, if you aren't used to weight training, as your muscles rebuild, they retain water for a brief time while they rebuild. I work out with a personal trainer who said that it's completely normal to gain before losing. Don't lose hope...I've lost over 30 inches doing weights and cardio.

    Good luck! Hope that helps.
  • I had really bad eating habits. But they've gotten better

    breakfast:
    eggs + toast + banana
    cherrios + banana
    bagel and cream cheese + banana

    lunch:
    salad
    chicken wrap
    sandwhiches

    dinner:
    shrimp + pasta
    fish on general
    grilled chicken + sweet potato

    I drink water and have a nutri grain bar or a 100 calorie pack in theday as a snack

    okay, so I'll continue doing what I'm doing and hopefully in a few more weeks, write a good update!
