I had lost 40lbs; quit smoking in January and have gained back 30lbs. I had taken a break from eating right when the quitting was the most difficult but never stopped working out. I%26#039;ve gone back to the eating habits I had when I was losing to no avail and have even gained some since eating better.
My current routine:
30-45 min cardio--elliptical, recumbent bike or treadmill My heart rate seems to be in the 175-185 range (I%26#039;m 33).
At least 30 min weight training mostly on the machines at the gym, some hand weights.
Eat under 1600 calories per day--20% protein, 30% fat; 50% carbs. Should I decrease the calories more or make any other adjustments? I got the calories %26amp; percentages from Self Diet Club.
I don%26#039;t want to smoke again, one reason I quit was because of my heart rate when I did cardio. This doesn%26#039;t seem to have improved much either and it%26#039;s been 5 months!!
No longer losing weight...what am I doing wrong? First, change your workout routine, add something else or do something different like swimming on alternate days. Your body adjusts itself really fast to exercise, but you shouldn%26#039;t do it longer, but add variety to it.
As for your diet, it looks healthy enough, but you can still trick your metabolism by eating 5 small meals instead of 3 large ones. Take what you normally eat in a day, and divide it in 5 smaller meals. See what happens.
We all hit plateaus from time to time, it%26#039;s just a matter of varying things, to make our metabolism click into weight loss again.
No longer losing weight...what am I doing wrong? CONGRATULATION
No longer losing weight...what am I doing wrong? you gotta mix it up a little to start losing again.
Your body will get use to the same routine and stop reacting well to it
No longer losing weight...what am I doing wrong? I have the same problems. Sometimes our bodies get %26quot;stuck%26quot; if you will, when we lose weight. I lost 12 pounds on Weight Watchers and have been in stuck mode for a year. Try the Wendie Plan. This plan is specifically targeted for gettng you out of the stuck mode. It%26#039;s affiliated with Weight Watchers.

No longer losing weight...what am I doing wrong? Maybe you should try a cleansing program along with your excersize...I lost 17 pounds in 11 days on this program, and there are many more people losing even more! What the cleanse does is wash out of all of your impurities and toxins, which then helps you burn fat instead of everything else... Check out www.ILOST17POUNDS.com
No longer losing weight...what am I doing wrong? REDUCE THE INTAKE OF CARBOHYDRATES
No longer losing weight...what am I doing wrong? First of all smoking was keeping your weight down as nicotine is an appetite suppressant. After quitting most people do gain weight, to where they would have been had they not smoked. The diet and exercise will bring your weight down. It takes time as you will hit plateau%26#039;s where the body tries to maintain a new weight level. keep doing as you have been doing and progress will be made.
No longer losing weight...what am I doing wrong? as much as you workout you need to work out every day, as you might not know running is the least effective cardio there is, you might try jump rope, or swimming, and it is better to split up your work out like lets say you are going to swim an hour, than you will swim 30 min now than take a 15min break than take the other half, and also the least amount of fat you have the harder it will be to burn your fat away.
No longer losing weight...what am I doing wrong? Since you have a balanced diet and a solid routine go all Atkins for 3 or 4 weeks, salad, meat, and diet coke. Then go back to your original diet but you will drop that weight for sure.

No longer losing weight...what am I doing wrong? Congratulations on quitting smoking 閳?it may not feel like it yet, but you閳ユ獫e already done your body a HUGE favour 閳?health-wise, it is probably much better to be 30 lbs overweight than to be smoking!
Change up your exercise routine, and re-adjust your diet (increase your protein and decrease your carbs 閳?try something more like 40% carb, and 30% each protein and fat). The weight will start coming off again!
