Newbie still waiting for the weight to drop off!!

[Kikidee]

When I started at RM 2.5 months ago, everyone said the weight would fall off but I haven't stopped one pound

I haven't changed my eating habits in any way (too many snacks after tea!) But I also haven't ate any more than I used to do so how can I go from desk job to 15k steps a day and stay exactly same weight.beginning to think walking is obviously great for general health but not intense enough for shedding extra pounds!

It is diet. Just reduce carbonhydrates food/drink ie bread, rice, pasta, cake, biscuits, sweets, puddings, cereals, crisps, fruit juice, pop, beer.
and eat more protein ie meat/fish.

Don't forget you might have also lost weight in fat, but gain in muscle as it is heavier.

I never changed my diet but have lost over 2 stone since I started.Peoples metabolism are different it takes some people slightly longer to lose than others.Dont worry give it a couple more months and it will fall off

When I started a year and half ago I was touching 15 stone . But now I have not changed my diet and I am around 13.8 but I am not losing or gaining any more weight.

Start taking out more lapse.

Usually you lose about a stone in the first 6 months but you have to watch your diet, this job tends to turn you into a snacker and an antisocial eater.

Cheers everyone. Yep it Definitely encourages poor choices I think... Still getting used to fitness side of things so sometimes find only option is a newsagent so have to grab unhealthy options just to keep me going. Hate cereal and dubious they're actually healthy but need to get that sorted to set me up for the day I think. Time address diet side of things and stop hoping for it to magically drop off :) Tks again

This sums me up perfectly

A healthy breakfast and take out a wholemeal sandwich and a banana and just drink water when you are out and treat yourself to a tea/coffee and biscuit when you get home after kicking the shoes off.

Also definitely an idea to keep the drinking to once a week ( which is a good idea anyway). I've been in the job a month and lost nothing but know why (big hint in the above). Am now doing fruit in the morning before delivery and a heathy sandwich
half way through and nothing but water to drink. Then meat and veg and brown rice when get home. Also doing British Military Fitness three times a week. It will work ....it had better do!!!!!!

Exactly. I lost a stone in my first two weeks (maybe even first week) but in the last 7 years I've put at least two stone on. I'm drinking a lot more as well.
