Why haven't I lost the weight?

try five days a week see if its a difference.

Add some strength training to you workout, add another day a week (or 2) if you can. Part of your lack of weight loss may be that you are toning your mucles with the cardio, and although cardio is good for fat burning your body gets used to it quickly. If you do exercises to build muscle (you can't bulk up, so don't worry) then you'll be adding to your strength, increasing your metabolism, and adding dense tissue that takes up less space than fat even though it weighs more.

Don't get too discouraged. I've been on P90X for nearly a month now, eating really well, and I've dropped about 4 lbs when I expected much more since it's a very intense program.

The results will come...have patience! (and mix things up, varying workouts and intensities...don't do the same thing every workout)

It depends on a lot of factors. What are you eating? How many calories are you eating per day? You may still be eating too many, or you may be eating too few. If your body has insulin issues, perhaps make sure you're not eating refined sugars. Don't drink your calories, either. Also, how intense is the cardio? Are you mixing it up?

Try this:

1.) Talk to a gym nutritionist or visit a reputable website on the internet to do the formula to figure out how many calories you need per day. Subtract 300 calories from that for each day to see gradual, sustainable weight loss.

2.) Drink lots of water, and get all 8 hours of sleep per night. Dehydration makes your body retain water and makes your body less efficient; sleep deprivation impacts our body's cortisol release and makes us crave sugar.

3.) Mix up your cardio. Do different things: walking, jogging, swimming, aerobics classes, using the bike. Mix and match. Make sure you're sweating and throw in a minute here and there of REALLY intense exercise.

4.) Add some light strength training.

5.) Make sure your nutrition is coming from the right places. Don't eliminate whole food groups or deprive yourself. If you're on a 1,600 calorie per day plan, save 200 to indulge. If you know nighttime snacking is a problem, chew sugar free gum from 7pm on until you brush your teeth.

Good luck!

Even tho your doing mostly cardio and eating correctly your in the gym working most of your muscles. Your exceeding your heart rate for your work out and this works out your muscle. So your actually fit and your not losing much weight because your muscles are heavier then fat. Continue to do your cardio but ask your gym constructor to check your heart rate around how much fat is in your body and work around that number. This will cause you to sweat and lose weight a lot faster and effectively. You should easily lose 10 to 20 pounds depending on how vigorous your work outs are. All this weight lost will be water so its very healthy and results are great looking.

Good luck

No source but I been body building for about 5 years now

I don't think you're doing anything wrong. Your body is adjusting to the new weight loss of 5 lbs. And it's being sluggish about it.

If you want to get it moving again, you need a new strategy, that's all. There's millions of things to try.

My current favorite is Kellog's Water (K20) which helps you avoid snacking by providing a tiny bit of protein in a Lemonade or Ice Tea flavored drink you can sip for hours.

You can replace a meal with a protein shake a few times a week. Either off the shelf like Boost, Ensure, or SlimFast, or make your own by visiting the Health Food store, and find one you like (but then buy one of those shaker cups designed for mixing them up).

Are you taking a multivitamin/multimineral with the RDA of calcium? Calcium helps you lose weight.

Are you getting enough rest? Maybe swap out an aerobics class for a yoga class or find a meditation center nearby to the gym. Stressed out grumpy people don't often lose weight. (You don't sound grumpy, but maybe a little stressed out.)

Oh, I like j.whoa1's idea too.. not to get too technical but why not go beyond your lactate threshold? A little bodybuilding, sprinting, and "high intensity" things could really help in this situation. Just watch out for overtraining which can give you major fatigue. Get lots of rest. It's a good plan to get a coach if you're going to go this route. They have the experience to help you out when you hit walls.

mmm, are you counting calories. If you are you may not be loosing weight because of the things that your eating. Some foods even with low calories are bad for you. So try eating mostly fruits and veggies, and stay away from red meat. Try that.

Good luck

Well, have you been eating afteer 7:30pm - 8pm?

If so, Why are you even bothering excerising?

If not, and you don't eat after that time (which you shouldn't), then it just takes time!

Don't worry about it. If you were unfit before, or you never excerised, then you just gotta wait.

Surely, you've lost a bit.

Hope I helped, for a best answer :)
