I am a 47yr. old female that has been working out for about 10 weeks, doing aerobic and lifting weight about 3 times per week 45min. I have no significant weight loss. my eating habits have changed, I am discouraged, any suggestions? I am 175 pounds, 5'4. I would like to get to 130 pounds.
Answered by Jamie Kerem My first question would be to ask if you have seen any changes in your body? When you look in the mirror do you notice any difference than before you started?
The reason I ask is that you very well could just be putting on muscle as you lose fat - which is why you won't see the scale budge.
If you are lifting weights you could be adding lean muscle to your frame while your body fat levels drop from the aerobic training. Muscle is denser than fat so your WEIGHT (not your fat) could be lingering in the same area while your body composition changes.
If you'd like you could add in an extra day of aerobic training and see how it affects your physique.
