How much is too much excersize and what effect will it have?

Im going on day number 7.. I have done weights but my body hasn't been sore enough for me to take a day off (revamping weight routine tomorrow)  Is it possible to excersize too much and what effects will it have on my weight loss? 

I went from 170 down to 135, I know I weigh more now as my size 6 clothes are tight on me again which is why i am going so often, I didn't work it all off to gain it back again and now Im dissapointed in myself and my goal is to get back to where I was before.. Next summer is when I will hit my goal of 125

Regardless of soreness, you should not be working the same muscles in weight training two days in a row - you need to let your body recover.  Either work the whole body every other day, or do splits - upper body one day, and lower body the next, to get time to recover. Even with splits, you'll probably want to take at least one day off. I think they say you shouldn't be weight training more than 3 hours a week?

As for your goals, weight training will help you lose fat, and will make you feel and look better, regardless of the scale.

Great job going from 170 to 135!

Definitely re-vamp your weight routine, your muscles need 48 hours to recover from weight training. If you aren't feeling "sore" enough up the weight and drop the reps to 8-12. I injured myself from overtraining and ended up on crutches for 2 weeks so now i'm super careful, I weight train mon/wed/fri and do cardio tues/thurs/sat. I am still losing at the same rate and my body doesn't hate me anymore!

Check out "The new rules of lifting for women" I am currently 2 weeks into this strength training program and love it (I skip the diet advice).

Slow down, take the time to get to know your body and you'll be at your goal weight in no time :)

I probably should have mentioned, I never do weights 2 days in a row, I alternate weights and cardio.. Usually I would take a day off.

 Well, you can do more than 3 hours of lifting a week, it's just that when you're doing more than 3 hours and dieting you're either hampering your intensity while lifting, your recovery while away from lifting, or both. So your results are roughly the same whether you spend 3 or 6 hours lifting.

 Which means it makes no sense to do 6 hours - do a good, effective program like NROWL, RFFL, Starting Strength or whichever one appeals to you most, and any time you've got left over you do cardio of various types; you want some of the health benefits of cardio too.

 It's very possible to exercise too much - we call that "overtraining", thogh proper clinical overtraining is comparatively rare, what most people experience is the early stages called "metabolic overreach" where you're pushing your body harder than your recuperative capacity allows you to recover from between sessions.

 This isn't a bad thing either, if you properly periodize your training - push into metabolic overreach, coast and undertrain while your body supercompensates.

 Going all out all the time is a mistake though, you need to allow for how it takes 3-8 weeks of consistent training to push yourself into metabolic overreach, and then you need to undertrain for about the same number of weeks to recover.

I have to chime in for my support of new rules for women lifing (or something like that) it is a great book. I also read teh diet advice and decided to continue to calorie restrict.

It's hard and really does work you!

Good Luck.

Im gonna check that out, thanks.. anyone else have any input? 

Do you mean day number 7 of lifting without a break working the same muscle groups? if so you need to rethink your workout. Weights should be three days a week. Always a rest day in between. Proper lifting technique is also important.

What is your routine. What kind of cardio are you getting?

From what I've heard from trainers, you don't need to feel sore to get a good workout.   But I suppose it's always good to change up your routine to keep your muscles guessing.  But I have never heard af someone exercising too much and hence, stunting your weight loss.  If you don't have much weight to loose, then it will be extra hard to loose it.  I am going through the same thing :)  And it's frustrating I know...      &n bsp;        ;       &n bsp;    

 Thing about working out too hard is that when you're exhausted or have too much of a calorie deficit your lack of energy literally makes you lazier and less likely to burn calories.

 Fidgeters can burn up to 800 calories a day more than their non-fidgeting counterparts - but if you're working out too hard and too much, you stop fidgeting, start getting more energy-efficient in your movements, and lose the motivation for taking an extra trip to the sink to get that glass of water - and poof goes your deficit as you're suddenly burning a lot less calories outside of exercise.

I agree with everyone here that says you need rest. When you lift weights your muscles need down time. It's also a good idea to do cardio. This will work and build you circulatory system. If you really have to do something on a "resting" day then do a full session of stretches. This will help keep you tendons and muscles from tightening up. Other than that keep up the good job.
