Hi,
I joined a local fitness center about 8 weeks ago. I go 5 days a week. I have increased my exercise each week. I am now staying approx. 2 hours, I work out on every machine there. 2 miles on the treadmill, 1 mile on the arc trainer, 6 miles on the bike on level 6, and 3 sets of 12 on each machine that works all of my muscles. I started out very slow and worked my way up to what I am doing now. My biggest problem is I thought the pounds would just fly off, but they haven't! I am losing about a pound a week, sometimes 2, but mostly I gain a pound one week and lose it the next. I have a "Gladiator" Smoothie King smoothie between 1pm and 2pm and then a salad for supper, sometimes a small chicken breast or a baked potatoe, but never more than one or the other. I would like to know what I am doing wrong, and why I am not losing 2 to 3 pounds a week doing this. Is it possible that I am exercising too much, or is it time for a fill again? I have 3.6 cc's in a 4 cc band. I was banded on 06/06/2007. I have lost 60 lbs so far, and my one year date is approching fast. I really wanted to be at the 100 lb mark by my year anniversary. Anyone with suggestions on how I can lose this faster, please let me know. I am greatful for every pound that is gone! I do have more energy and my health has improved a lot! I am thankful! I guess just a little impatient!
Ok, hope to hear from someone soon.
Best wishes,
