Hi everyone. I'm new to this website, but I stumbled upon it and thought I'd voice a concern of mine. So I had been jogging every night for the past few months and I lost 8 lbs before January 1. I joined Gold's
Gym on the 1st and I've been working out at about 5 days a week. I usually go on the elliptical in the
cardio zone and keep my
heart rate up to about 165-170 the whole time for 45 minutes, and then I usually do about 20 - 30 minutes of
strength training. One day I'll do legs, the next arms,
abs, etc, rotating the different muscle groups. I have been eatting very healthy, consuming about 1,200 to 1,300
calories a day. Since I started working out pretty steady in the
gym I have not lost even a
pound. I am confused by this a little. I am 5' 6" and I weight 180, female by the way, and I am pretty muscular too. Has anyone experienced this before? I know muscle is more dense than
fat, and so if
fat is turning to muscle then there could be no
weight loss/maybe a
weight gain. But then again I thought the only way to build musicle was if you were eatting excess
calories and I am not. Please, any input would be great. Thanks!
