As long as you're getting thinner, isn't weight loss secondary?
I've toned up a bit, but I still have a lot of weight
Thanks Floyd!
Also, I say still go hard on them muscles baby! The more muscle, the easier it is to lose weight quicker. Don't worry about the number on the scale too much, if you're doing the work and eating well, then it will come. Embrace the muscle development.
That is true.
Embrace cardio though. Don't be one of those muscle heads who get gassed from a light jog.
That is also true
My dad went through the same thing when he was dropping from 350. One week he just straight up didn't lose any weight when he got around 280. Apparently it's normal for a lot of people, your body goes into a fat preservation mode because it's in shock of the weight loss and thinks you might be starving. The next week after he lost even more than normal even though he got upset and had a massive cheat meal that week. Don't change things up too drastically unless you think you can handle a better workout now imo, give it another week or two before getting too worried about the number not dropping.
Pretty much. I think I'm just going to up my cardio a bit. I was able to 4.5 mph on the treadmill for 30 minutes. I think I'm going to try to make it to 45 minutes this week.
What's your current exercise plan consist of?

You need cardio and strength training.
Cardio kind of sucks but you need it.
Throw in some yoga and now you got a workout stew going.
Fuck I wish I had time to workout more. Shits rough with kids and work.
I don't think I can do Yoga.. planet fitness doesn't offer those Bionic to my knowledge.
