Hi. I'd be grateful to hear your experience of your first week in the process to lose weight.
I've gained almost 30 pounds in the last 18 months and I'm finally doing something about it. This is mainly because I stopped my previously active sporty lifestyle and I was drinking and eating far more than was healthy.
I'm slowly getting back to being more active and reducing my alcohol intake. This past week (starting last Friday) is my first dedicated and structure attempt at losing weight.
I'm 5 foot 5 and 44 years.
I'm doing intermittent fasting - I stop eating at 8pm in the evening and have something to eat just after 11am the next morning.
I've also exercised everyday this week - cycling 60 mins, 3 times and doing 30 mins high impact aerobics 5 times. I've kept my total calorie intake at average of 2000. My net calories (accounting for exercise) is about 1500.
I've not lost any weight and not a smidgen of inches.
Any advice? How long did it take you to see a movement in measurements?
