Why am I not losing weight?
Posted , 7 users are following.
45 yr old, 17 stone (ish). I was long term unemployed until recently - ate badly, ate too much and never exercised. Then I got a job at a golf course and for the last six weeks have been working like a horse. My diet is still poor, but I eat no where near as much or as often as I did before getting the job. Taking all this into account (especially the level of activity and exercise I am now getting) can someone please explain why I am not losing weight?
Thanks in advance.

There are a million and one possible reasons why you arent losing weight as all our bodies work differently. From a neutral perspective, how much exercise do you actually get when you're doing your job? if you're really determined to lose weight you need to consider both of the main factors of weight loss, diet and exercise, not just exercise like in this particular case. You cant really expect to lose weight if you're still eating badly as the exercise you do at work is probably just burning off all the bad food you've eaten. Eating less isnt neccesarily better, I'm pretty confident that if you ate more but the food was healthy you would start losing weight. Hope this helps!

I appreciate what you are saying about my poor diet undoing the exercise I'm getting at work, but what I don't understand is that since hitting 17 stone many years ago, I have not been GAINING weight. It's like my weight kind of maxed out and wouldn't go beyong this level (thankfully). So, if a poor diet, oversized portions, frequent eating and no exercise WASN'T resulting in any more weight gain, surely a poor diet, smaller portions (less times) and frequent exercise should result in weight loss??

It's rather silly of me to have left it this long before going to get a proper diagnoses and/or treatment
