Hi! I’m here to ask for some advice. I’ve been trying to lose weight since the start of the year. In February, I gave myself a challenge of walking 2 miles a day, every day of the month. Along with this, I ate in a small calorie deficit, and lost between 1-1.5 lbs/week.
In March, I replaced my daily walking with strength training 2x a week, lagree 2x a week, cardio 1x-2x a week and I’m eating in the same caloric deficit (I eat the same meals, all measured out - so there’s not much scope of me not actually being in a deficit this month but being in one in February) as I did in February. However, in this time, I’ve been maintaining but not losing weight at all.
In my mind, I’ve attributed it to one or more of these factors:
-
I’ve never lifted before this, and lost a lot of muscle over the last couple of years. I hear that initial gains for lifting are high - maybe I’ve gained some muscle weight
-
My body got used to my caloric deficit in a month, and I need to decrease my intake further
-
Daily steady state cardio/steps are much more important/effective in terms of weight loss than I thought.
I’d love to hear thoughts/advice, since I’m pretty new at consistent, regular exercise and feel a little lost currently. Thanks!
