    Default So far/need advice

    Hi everybody,so my story so far....so I'm now 23 and a very active person, I started off at about 18.5 stone - 19 stone at my biggest, this I can put down to my uni days of drinking too much and eating all the wrong quick and easy meals you do as a student!
    I have been out of uni now for a few years and execrising pretty regularly for about a year after knee surgery for an old rugby injury, at the moment I am going to the gym 5 times a week burning about 1000-1250 on the cross trainer and a further 150 in the pool after, I'm also playing badminton once a week which is around 200 calories.
    I have a calorie controlled diet of around 1500 to 1750 a day through a slim fast 210 meal bar for breakfast and lunch,fruit and a low fat/low sugar fruit and jelly pot and then what ever everyone else has for dinner, I don't snack between meals the only thing I have is flavoured gum. I have worked out I am supposed to have about 2100 calories a day for a 23 year old 5'11 guy of my weight.
    When I firtst started diet and exercising I quickly dropped down to 16.5 stone but then seemed to stick at that weight about 4 months! I then decided to log everything that I ate,what I execrised and calculate that again my daily allowences to get a total day loss or gain for calories, I am under everyday normally by a good amount around 1300-1600 when I go to the gym. I have been logging everything for 3 weeks now, I seemed to lose half a stone in the first week and 2 days and am now currently 15.5 stone.
    My problems seems to be that I am now stuck at this weight, I'm currently exercising more and for longer than before and have a smaller calorie intake but my weight doesn't seem to want to shift, I was just looking for some advice on why this might be happening or if anyone else has experienced similar?

    Thanks Nick

    Hi Nick,
    I would recommend you chat with some one at your gym. You may need to change your work out as the more you work out, the more muscle weight you gain. They may be able to put together a personal plan that will help your wieght loss.

    Also it seems that you may want to change your eating habits once more. We all seem to plateau at some point and for me its a sign to vary my diet slightly.

    I hope this helps..........good luck x
