Flat line none lost none gained!



Recommended Posts

Ok, I'm 3 months out and I work out 6days a week ruffle around 45 minutes daily (elliptical, weights, kick boxing) on top normal housework and etc. I am consuming around 600 calories a day and I'm drinking over 64oz and getting around 70 grams of Protein daily. The Nut told me I should burn around 1500 calories a day to lose weight. but wouldn't put my body in starvation mode?

I'm so confused because I am working out and I don't see any lost nor gain I'm flat lining it.

any ideas?

It's possible with only having 600 calories a day and working out as much as you do has put you in starvation mode. I'd up the calories a bit and see what happens. Your body might be trying to hold on what it has. Try changing something in your diet,more calories, less working out, something will make the scale move again.

The scale may not be showing you what all your hard work is doing but your clothes may!

Have you measured inches? Are your clothes a little roomier?

Whatever you do don't give up!

I agree, for what you are doing, it sounds like you are not eating enough...

you have been doing great...so just think of it as a win, since you haven't gained... that's how I see it... I have been plateaued for a bit, so I'm doing the 5 day plan to help kickstart me (in the butt)... :)

Good luck, you've got this! Excellent job!!!

According to Mark Sisson of Mark's Daily Apple, a fitness website bent toward primal eating (which is low carbs like our plans),

a stall can be broken by either eating more and exercising more or eating less and exercising less.

I'm only 3 months out so forgive me all but my NUT told me to maintain cause its your body trying to adjust to the weightloss and that it will kick start again. I've followed this and it does. I was nervous when I hit a 2 week stall but I started dropping weight again. I'm sure everyone is different so find what works for you.

What do you mean you haven't lost any weight? According to your profile you've lost more than 60 pounds. That's quite a lot of weight actually. you can't compare yours to profiles like mine because you don't have that much extra weight to begin with. If you mean you;ve stalled - that's something that happens to all of us all the time. I;ve had several, the last one lasted 7 weeks. Totally frustrating but totally normal. If you stick to your fitness and diet plans you will start losing again.

Hang in there.

600 cal for all that working out is going to put you in starvation mode! i didnt do any vigorous working out until i was getting more then 1000 cal a day. i did yoga, swimming and walking only. i bet if you cut back the scale will start to move again!
