have a look please

[mowla]

hears the story so far,
after the christmas break i got on the scales and wieghed in at 130 kilos, after absolutely shitting my pants i decided it was time to sort my life out.
sorted a sensible diet ,booked in to see a personal trainer once a week and joined the local gym.
i do monday,wednesday and friday on wieghts, and tuesday thursday and saturday cardio, and have a rest on sunday.
when i got wieghed on 15th may i weighed in at 103 kilos, which i have been since, is this what they call a plateau ? and if so how can i kick start the weight loss again?
for my build i reckon i would'nt look too bad about 95 kilos

i'll wait to see what response i get before going into too much detail about diet etc.
any feedback would be great.
cheers in advance

You didnt mention much about your cardio, but if your still doing the same cardio or youve been doing it for a month or more, try changing it. Like if you were doing the treadmill, do the elliptical now or the stairmaster, etc..

[mowla]

my cardio consists of;
10 mins warm up on elliptical trainer
30-40 mins exercises on a fit ball 40 sec work 40 sec rest
35 mins on elliptical trainer

i know what your saying is good advise but the reason for the elliptical trainer is that i do my cardio work at home and i really cant afford any more equipment after paying 700 pounds for it. the other reason for picking the elliptical trainer was i thought i was too heavy for a treadmill, i thought i might get trouble with my knees.

keep it coming

hmm, maybe go running outside by your house? or use a different program on your elliptical?

Post your diet...let's see how well "sorted" it is...I bet we could tweak it and make it even better. Don't forget to give the macro breakdown for each meal (check the posting-a-diet sticky if you don't know what I mean)

[mowla]

just a quick one for now as i am on my way out;

meal 1 ; half cup oats
banana
meal 2 ; tin tuna
1 slice wholemeal bread
meal 3 ; chick breast
roast veg(leeks onion peppers carrot)
meal 4 ; chick breast
wholeeal pitta bread
flax seed
meal 5 ; cottage cheese
a dozen grapes

i know this may not be much help without the macros but l hav'nt got time at the moment, this is just an average days meals for me but obviously things will change slightly from day to day
also if i am training there will be 100mg of carb drink while training and 50mg of whey protein when i am finished
let me know , i'll sort the macros out later
cheers
