Week 8 R2 HELP!

[MrsDidds]

Week 7 run 3 I struggled to get to the end. So when I had completed it I thought - as it was hard going I’ll redo the week. However when it came to the crunch I decided to step up and give week 8 a go. What a surprise I can do it! It’s not comfortable, I’m not elegant nor do i look at all human at the end but..... I can do it! I just had to trust the program!! Tomorrow it’s W8R3.

However I need a bit of advice here ! I’ve been running for weeks. Tough yoga 3 times a week also. Eating healthily keeping calories around 1300 mark including my only vice in these tricky times G&T in the evening.

Why after all this time have I not lost a pound! I’m overweight and can’t shift it!! Please help!!

Has your body shape changed though? Tape measure is a better indicator than weighing scales imo

Thanks for replying ForestGump63 Kind of - actually yes it has in terms of definition. For health reasons and logically speaking weight must come off at some point??

I think the theory is you build muscle which weighs more than fat then the muscle helps to burn fat so you’ll deffo be losing fat and as you’re not going to bulk up like the Incredible Hulk I would’ve thought the scales should lower at some point 🤷‍♀️

Well done.

I was the same (am the same). I was running 3x per week for an hour on a treadmill. I reckon age is a factor. Also obvs muscles weigh more. You may change shape and get smaller ...

I’ll Keep going

Good luck all
