| I started doing cadio + weights exercise daily 3 weeks back. I lost 3 lbs in first 2 weeks, but then my weight steadied after that. Is that normal? Do I expect more weight loss and when? I work out at a gym for >1.5 hrs every day and plan to keep doing like that. Any other tips for fast weight loss? thanks! |

| You have to change your work out up. It is best to do cardio..with 2-3 minute stints of ..well...say for example if you are jogging....you jog for 7 or 8 minutes and then sprint for 2 minutes..and keep going like that..or if you are cycling..you get a rhythm going and then after the 7 or 8 minutes you cycle really hard...it confuses your body and helps to lose the weight more steadily. If your body becomes used to an excersize regime it will adapt and you will not lose the calories as much as you did when starting that same regime out. Sometimes your body just needs a little break..and so you will not lose as much weight (or any) for one week..and then it will go back to losing again. Do not expect anything regular from your body. Our bodies do not work like that. |

| Have you changed your eating habits? Exercise alone will not shed the pounds. In fact, if you start to build muscle, you might ever see an uptick on the scale as muscle has more mass than fat and therefore weighs more.Your body starts to learn what has changed (i.e. more exercise, less food) and works to adapt. That is why diets fails so often, you see that the weight loss is not coming as quickly and give up. Never fear, if you stick to it, it will work out. |
