? for those of you who have lost alot of weight with wl & calorie counting.........
So this is my first serious attempt with a well structured lifting program. I've done weights before, but it was machine based and it wasn't a complete body workout.
My question is, for those of you who incorporated weights, cardio, and portion control or cal counting, what was the pattern of your weight loss?
Fast in the beginning, then slow, then moderate? Or what? Normally I see rapid loss in the beginning, then slowing to moderate like 2 lbs a week.
This time, with the weight lifting, it seems slower in the beginning as my body adjusted to weights, but then it got a little more rapid - maybe from the muscles turning up the furnace, but I'm not building muscle weight as quickly as I did in the beginning?
I'm just wondering what your experience has been. I do remember from before that after the first 2 months or so, you seem to drop pounds w/o trying anything different - it's like finally the added muscle starts doing its thing. But what was your experience?
