Default Exercise on CAD

Hi all-

I lost about 100lbs on CAD about 5 years ago. Since then I've gained a significant amount back and am now gung-ho back on the CAD plan.

My question is this. When I initially used CAD to lose all the weight, I didn't start working out until I had already lost a considerable amount of weight.

This time around though, I've grown very fond of hitting the gym for many reasons and consider it a necessary part of my daily routine. What I'm concerned about is that it's slowing my weight loss.

When I first did CAD 5 years ago, weight was coming off so fast my head was spinning; often 2+lbs per day in the very beginning. That was about average. As I mentioned, I didn't start working out until I'd already lost quite a bit of weight.

Now I'm low carbing and exercising right off the bat. I do a lot of weights with my upper body, some ab work, and high intensity interval training about every other day. My weight loss is only averaging about .5 lbs per day and sometimes it doesn't move at all.

Now, I realize weight loss slows after a certain point but I'm right at the beginning and that's normally where the weight just falls off. I'm concerned that my intense exercise is affecting the loss somehow.

Has anyone had an experience like this? I've heard people argue both sides of the line; one side insisting that I should ABSOLUTELY NOT exercise for the first few weeks/months and the other side insisting I should.

Thought?

Thanks for reading.
