Need a little help with my first step. (Poolee)
Ok, first off I am trying to losing weight and reach my minimum goal of 215 lbs. That is the max weight for my height to enlist in the Corps as far as I know (about 5' 10"). I first started off at 278.8 lbs; I am currently at 247-248 as of today(it fluctuates depending on what I've eaten or have done). So I have roughly lost 30 lbs, the problem is I have slowed down and stopped losing. I know of plateaus and stuff but I've maintained this weight for a few weeks now. I first started off running 5 days a week for a mile each day on a treadmill(I live in Minnesota and currently there is snow outside so outdoors running isn't possible for a little while yet). I increased the speed as time went on then decreased it a little and increased the incline to 1%, I was told that simulates running on the road. I have recently added in weightlifting to my routine. My question is are there any ideas, tips, strategies, etc; that you would provide me so I can continue to lose weight and become more physically fit? I did a search about weight but the results I found were over a month old and more geared towards those first starting off. This does include ideas for certain foods, whether to stick to or avoid.
Thanks
