Help with 12 week challenge!

[Train Insane 22]

Kia ora everyone,

I am currently doing the 12 week challenge. Started the challenge 6 wks ago at 107.5 now im at 104kgs. The problem is im gaining muscle mass but not losing much weight, should i be concerned?? My goal was to get to 90kgs but now i could be dreaming. I use myofusion, eat well (6 meals) and train hard. Ive decided to give the myofusion a rest to see whether that is the problem.

post up your daily diet and training routine and someone will be able to give you some tips. may be a case of reducing your calories a bit more.

losing 3.5kg in 6 weeks is not too bad

nice work so far

afew things you could change..

half your cardio and do more weights.. by building more muscle you burn more calories it makes weight loss easier. try doing more set.. like 3 sets with 12 to 15 reps

do cardio after your weight session.. you should be able to lift heavier and go for longer if you do it after. how many times are you training per week.. you could split up your training so you do more exercises to focus on particular areas.. at the moment it looks like your doing a full body workout which can be effective but you will see more gains by splitting your work outs into different areas of the body.

your diet...

way to many shakes.. if your doing extreme weight training its 2g of protein per kg of bodyweight if your do light to moderate training 1g of protein per kg of bodyweight should be fine. if your weight loss has been slow your probably eating to many calories...

change special k to oats .. better for you, has less sugar and cost way less..

Don't panic, muscle weighs more than fat. If your looking better then it's working.
