It is a well known thing. When you start dieting, exercising etc., you loose weight fast, in the beginning.

It is natural. Accordingly to what you said, you lost a lot.
Another thing is that you only run, don't you? Doesn't matter 5km or 7km. You are doing it for the last 2 years? You body has adapted to this particular type of physical activity. You want to shock your body? Do something else.
An example from my life. A week or so ago I ran my petty mile with my wife. On the next day she said she felt some muscles in her legs and buttocks. A run of the mill situation? No. She goes to aerobic classes for 8 months. Sometimes two classes in a row. Different aerobic classes. One might be high impact aerobic, another hips, bums and tums.
Taking into the account my present health conditions I would be dead within 15 minutes in one of the classes, let alone two one hour classes in a row. However, I don't feel any physical strain my leg muscles after running 1 mile.
What am I about? It is a classical example about how our body adapts to one type of physical activity. Wife's teachers change exercises and music every 2 months. When I was young and wanted to be Arnold Schwarzenegger I read his notes and other material and they advices to switch tactics every 4-6 weeks.
IT technician has spoken....  |
It's that, and also because after a while your body adapts to your new eating habits, causing your weight to stagnate. The dietitian calculated my minimum weight today, based on measurement with a special kind of scale. I'm nearly at that minimum, so I won't be able to lose much more and it's going to go slow. I was actually thinking about some sort of aerobics class, but I'm not sure I'll have the time.
And yes, I did lose a lot of weight very fast. 10 kg in 4 months. Next appointment is end of September, so hopefully I'll have reached my target by then
Only 2 more kg to go! My bodyfat percentage is still at 28% though (which is within normal range for a woman), but I would like to get it down to 25%.
In my cup: coke zero decaf.
