Weight loss and weight training
I need to lose 12 to 14 pounds I gained during the past months as a result of anxiety and not having the time to work out.
I used to be fashion model thin, probably because of genes, but after having to eat precious little during a long stay in Thailand, I couldnīt eat the food there - I got overly thin. This resulted in weight gain over the next few years.
Iīve started taking green tea tablets, reducing my sugar and fat intake and working out in a gym with an instructer. I swim afterwards.
Iīve been working out 4-5 days a week for one month, but I havenīt lost one gramme of fat. Instead Iīve gained 4 pounds and devolped bulgy muscles on my calves, which used to be in good shape before my workout.
Is this normal and will it balance itself out? My appetite has increased because the workout is quite heavy, but I drink tons of water.
Iīm not hoping to lose all of the weight in a month, as 18 months is more likely to be more realistic, but I would have hoped to lose something by now.
Thanks,
Lily
