20 miles a week and not losing weight?

posted almost 3 years ago | Report

I have been walking/jogging for a good month and a half The last 3 weeks i have bumbed up my workouts and have gotten to 20 miles a week. i am working out everyday of the week some days harder then others. I have cut my intake of food and i have seen almost 2 inches come off my belly or rather my backside of my belly but the numbers on the scale are going now where and maybe even up... my only motivation that remains is that my clothes are fitting a bit better. Does anyone know what i am doing wrong?

  sounds like you're building muscle well because you're losing inches that's awesome! I'd keep up what you're doing even if you do see some extra numbers on the scale. Perhaps a visit to the nutritionist might help you may not be eating enough or in the right proportions of carbs, proteins and fats. Keeping a journal of your foods and calorie intake for the next month will help the nutritionist get a better understanding of your diet and possibly only need one or two visits-a wallet saver if your insurance won't cover it (depending on your BMI some health insurances will cover a nutritionist visit upon Dr. referral.)
