Need help getting very fed up

[Nhaide]

Hi All i am new to the site so sorry if its not posted in the right topic
I am 25 female and very over weight, I started dieting about a year ago and going to the gym and fitness classes as much as I can, Ive lost 2 and a half stone and still have a long way to go, but in the last 4 to 5 weeks the scales has been saying the same number and it just wont seems to move, I am still eating fresh and healthy food and drinking plenty of water and working out as much as I can. I need to loose 5 pounds to hit my 3 stone target for Christmas.
seeing the scales not moving is really getting me down and i am trying my hardest not to give up.

If anyone could advise me on what to do to get things moving again i would greatly appreciate it

Hey great to have you here and I am sure what you are going through is felt by everyone at some stage.

Firstly so important to have the self image of what you want to be where you want to get to as this is the key to teh drive and purpose that will get you through the tough times.

Have a positive nutrition plan established into your daily routine. Have a structured meal plan focusing on foods that will stimulate your metabolism eaten over a series of smaller more frequent meals. The benefit of this is that you will always have your body fueled and hence reduce cravings. The other essential benefit is that the meals you eat, when concentrated around metabolism enhancing foods, will stimulate your body's internal fat burning systems which over time will continue to accelerate the fat burning process.

These foods are Kale, almonds, berries, lean meats, garlic, cinnamon, hot peppers.

Mix the above approach with generous quantities of water and light to moderate exercise for best results.

The plateau effect is one of the wrost things ever You just need to be patient. Rewise you calories intake, try to speed up your metabolism, add cardio trainings!! i am sure it will help. Good luck!

Train your body to do the hard work.

Throughput our adult life we spend so much time trying to tweak and reprogram the natural workings of our bodies that the functions that inherently come natural to our bodies begin to get lazy and stop doing what they were designed to do.
With this constant interference we do not engage the strengths that our bodies are naturally endowed with.

What I am referring to is that our bodies are naturally engineered to consume, digest and use wholesome and fresh produce with all the natural nutrition and enzymes that our bodies require.
This is a crucial operation of our metabolism.
With a constant diet of fast foods, processed foods and food combinations that deter our natural systems, we cause our bodies to slow down or degenerate the natural systems and store excess fat which should in fact be consumed by our body’s natural mechanisms.

The tweaks we constantly make are the fluctuations between junk food and health fads, short term dieting and erratic fitness regimes. Back in the old days survival required our forefathers to obtain that which the land provided, which was always natural, unprocessed, healthy and easily digested by the human body; linked to this was that a lot of physical activity was incorporated into getting that which the land provided with the additional impact of the physical activity stimulating our bodies natural mechanisms.

As food options becomes more convenient and less natural we need to check what approach we are taking with regards to nutrition and thereby using to fuel our bodies.

Having a disciplined eating regime, where we have frequent and smaller meals throughout the day alerts our bodies’ metabolism functions to the fact that there is a new system in place and that they need to be alert and active all the time. By getting this in order our metabolism gets started on a path into hyper drive mode where our metabolism accelerates with each meal.

The other fundamental aspect of this principle is that we need to ensure that the meals consist of the right foods, foods that will be stimulating to all of our senses as well as stimulating to our metabolism.

Linking the previous 2 aspects with regular exercise and a progressively active lifestyle will even further enhance our body’s natural metabolic capabilities and accelerate the rate with which our bodies burn energy.

Getting the formula right will take persistent and dedication but the end result is that we reprogram our bodies or train our bodies into doing the hard work when our metabolism rates are increased we will burn through energy more efficiently and rapidly leading to higher energy levels and decreased excess fat content.

I motivated myself by a small trick that I learnt with a lot of practice and I have been able to lost an average of 1.5 pounds a day for the last 25 days. It is just unbelievable!
