Any fitness/wellness tips for a 29F, 4'11'', 177 pound jogger?I recently started jogging. I'm up to jogging 2 miles on a treadmill slowly and consistently at 3.5 mph speed. Did it the other day, did it again today. I'm strength training a bit, too.. I can plank for 70 seconds. I'm doing about 65 pounds on 5 rep X 5 set chest press machine routine. I can lat pull down over 100 pounds, and I can shoulder press 55 pounds on the 5 X 5's. I lost 25 pounds in the last year, but it is going so slowly. I bought a scale, and now when I look often, I just feel like I have plateaued. Any tips? Am I doing the right thing here with my routine? Will I ever lose more weight? I JUST now am getting down from stage 2 to stage 1 obesity, almost. Is there something that's supposed to be happening at this point? My blood sugar is now normal, although cholesterol was a bit high at my yearly checkup for the second year in a row.
