I have been following a weight loss program for 4 weeks. I have been going to the gym 6 days a week. I do at least 30 minutes of cardio on a treadmill or elliptical. 2 of those 6 days I attend a 1 hour long intense dance aerobics class. I do about 30 minutes of strength training. I alternate which body parts I work on by day (i.e. arms and back - M W F and legs and abs T Th S. I have been trying to increase the intensity of my cardio workouts gradually by increasing the distance or incline.
I started a food journal about three weeks ago after I wasn’t please with my results the first week. I count my calories. I eat between 1200-1400 per day. I lost about 7 pounds after I started the food journaling and calorie counting (from 178 to 171.2), but this past week it appears I gained a few pounds at the beginning of the week (I weigh myself every morning) and I am just now .5 pounds away (171.8) from where I was last week. I haven’t changed anything. What could be happening?
