a ) Namely , if you start doing well in the gym , then some muscle should replace some flab ( fat ) , and with muscle being heavier , your weight should then go up , not down! This might disappoint you as you check the scales...
b ) For those who are "quite" overweight , it would be prudent to ask your usual doctor , about the scope of exercise advisable , before you injure yourself , or worse...( Not that most of Brit-GPs are much "with it" , what to do ? ).
c ) in the long run , yo-yo dieting and watching one's weight up'n'down'n'up again , is only a torture and a heartbreak ; long-term weight loss by better nutrition and permanent good habits seems a better answer , as in : avoiding/cutting out the white bread & other over-refined starches , the lager , the spirits , the animal fats ( except goat cheese ) , making sure of bran/roughage and fruit for breakfast , not indulging in sugary stuff , not drinking booze on empty stomach ( as sensations of hunger pangs soon follow ) ...
The subject is dear to my heart so : Sorry , to be such a bore!
