Hello everyone,
I'm 18 years old, im 5 foot 11 and 14 stone...I have a muscular build and I think losing 1.5 stone I would look great.
My aim is to get to 12.5 stone...I'm fairly active, I've been doing exercise (30 minutes skipping and weight training) everyday for a year ...but I haven't lost a pound...I stopped this "home training" and joined a gym for a month now.
On the treadmill I'll burn 600 calories running in about 45 minutes maximum, then I'll do everything else and weight train...So I think 700 calories minimum probably more. I do this three of four times a week. Initially I lost 0.5 of a stone very quickly, then it came back on in the period of a few days...and it comes and goes regularly, usually after I rest for a day...So I'm thinking water weight....but half a stone of water!?
My diet is breakfast in the morning (2 plain weetabix) and then dinner...I try to cut down the carbs in my dinner. Sometimes I will have a healthy sandwich for lunch after the gym.
My problem is snacking, despite being somewhat intelligent I am programmed to snack if the food is there and I live in an unhealthy household so the junk food is not leaving the house. My snacking varies from day to day from non existent to pretty bad. I just don't know what to do, it must be the snacking because I am working hard at the gym...But I don't know how to stop...

PS. I do get the "Youve lost alot of weight" but the scales arent shifting...and I notice changed in my body but maybe Im imagining...
PS. I am fit in that I can train with the rugby squad and join my running club and do just as well as the average dude...I just have obvious flab that needs to go.
