Hello all,
since June last year I've been steadily losing weight, going from around 265 to around 218 (so far). At first, I was losing weight by change in diet, and weight training, but after a while I steadily switched weight training to almost daily uphill walks, whilst being a bit more strict with the diet.
That change has been really positive! I've noticed I'm slimming a lot faster without putting that much strain onto myself, which I'm really happy about, but a sorta alarming issue I've come across is the fact that I'm starting to look a bit scrawny, and feel a lot less... stronger? I get that I was stronger when I was overweight, but I seriously feel lot less strong now that I have less weight. I could do easily 15 pushups per set, but now I barely do 5, and so on, which I get: I put weight training aside, and now I'm reaping what I've sown.
So my question is basically, at what point to I incorporate weight training? Do I wait until my weight goal, or start now? How much do weight training and cardio training clash in terms of weight loss, since I want to lose more weight to reach normal BMI, but building muscle would put me in a different direction (not the unhealthy direction though)? Cheers, and good luck to y'all today.
I hope I'm clear, English is not my first language and I'm sorta struggling putting my mind onto words lol
