Hi there.
Just wanted some thoughts on the below as I am trying to lose weight and keep it off this time for years instead of a little while
I am not a fighter or athlete level, but a 45+ year old male who currently weighs about 210.
I have weighed as high as 230 2 years ago but was able to drop about 25 pounds in a few months by getting rid of sugar, drinking lots of water and running around one hour a day and generally watching what I eat.
Currently I have been around 210 the last 6 weeks of doing workouts similar to the above. I guess I don't eat enough veggies but I limit all my bad foods, and try not to eat as much as I do before. I have a weakness for pasta, and sometimes have 2 bowls of it though have started to use a spinach variation for the noodles.
The difference I am noticing this time around is for 6 weeks I have only lost maybe 2-3 pounds. I feel better and the workout difference is I have introduced at last 20 - 30 minutes of weights and resistance training to my workouts which has resulted in my body feeling less bulky and slightly firmer.
My biggest concern is I am still gut ridden and am used to being able to drop the pounds a lot faster by doing this though perhaps the additional weights/resistance is affecting the actual weight loss as I am still proably 25-30 pound overweight. (5.10 in height)
Any tips/advice for this to help me out a bit.
Thanks!
