Need help w/ weight loss?

Lorena April 12th, 2010

I am doing a biggest looser comp. in my local town. I am the smallest of all entrys, but I am 40 pds over weight. I am on wk 2 and was working out for over a month before we started. I probally work out more than all others who are competing, and I have followed the diet to a t! Yet, last wk my weight was the same as when I started and this wk. so far, I have gained a pd. I am doing cardio, interval training, weights large intervals small weights and also doing an extra half hour of tread mill at work! I always work out in the right heart rate range, but I am sustaining, and the bigger entrys are loosing like mad people!!! Like up to 8 pds the 1st wk! Any help would be great!!! I am so depressed w/ this right now, cuz I have worked so hard!!!

Do you need to sweat to lose weight or have a good workout?

I’ve been going to the gym for about 3 weeks, when I use the tread mill, it has a ideal heart rate of 118-126 for weight loss. If I stay in this range, I don’t necessarily break a serious sweat. I actually need to crank up to about 130+ to get a sweat going.

Also, I’m just speed walking in the weight loss range…..

FYI- I burn -300-600 calories depending on what weight routine I’m doing for the day.

Lost 15 pounds so far….
