I Am Overweight

I've already lost weight but still need to loose more. My weight loss stalled when my anemia got bad, being tired all the time is horrible on the appetite.

I work out hard when I can steal time for the gym. 115lbs on the squat machine, 90lbs on back, 60lbs on chest press. Not alot for most but considering my recovery from anemia and I had to start back in the lowest weights possible back in March, I consider it an accomplishment.

Dispite my body changing shape to more of a pear, I'm not loosing fast enough. I believe its dehydration thats causing water retention, age, and being gkuten intolerant doesnt help.

Im no quitter though. I will prevail.

It's not a race! Slow and steady is better for sustainable results - Dieting causes the real weight loss - working out is muscle tone and helps metabolism. Do you avoid Gluten 100% ? Sounds like you are doing well...

@fun4us2b yes I avoid gluten but ive noticed i cant loose weight until my body feels really hungry. If I give in, the weight stays put, if I dont it drops. Thats why I believe I'm dehyrdated and as a resukt my body is retaining water to compensate.
