Lucky you. I started going to the gym 3 times a week in January, ate more fruit and vegetables and whole grains, and less meat and processed grains, and started riding my bike to work 2-3 days a week last month. How much weight have I lost? Zero. And I'm supposedly 40 pounds overweight by BMI.
Probably 40 pounds of extra muscle by now. :-)
You've probably gained muscle mass and lost fat, which evened itself out in terms of weight.
Well, muscle is more dense than fat. The real test would be how your clothes fit and how you look.
biking is the answer, but you have to put in a lot of hours. I was too fat to run very far, but biking you can do for hours with a little training, and the weight starts to drip off. Its the time that’s the key, I found. Many hours on the bike.
This post is useless without pictures!
You may weigh the same but are your clothes as tight? You probably have lost fat and replaced it with more dense muscle...which is always good.
Throw out the BMI it’s worthless. It was designed in the 19th century to prove poor people were poor because God made them that way. Then some people looking for government funding thought it would be a handy way to declare the world overweight, and when it didn’t give them scary enough numbers they shifted the “healthy” part of the chart (which isn’t normalized for age, gender, bone mass or muscle density) left.
How are your clothes fitting? Over all energy? You can get fitter without actually losing weight. Are you eating enough to not kick into starvation mode? What kind of exercise? Depending on what you’re doing 3 times a week might actually be not much, when I was really pushing to lose weight I was exercising 10 times a week (yup, 3 double dip days).
