tiny Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Hi! I'm new here and I am not a body builder, but I must say, I'm what people would call a fitness freak. I'm 21, I've always had a problem with fat loss and I've been going to gyms on and off for about 5 years now, and the last 2 years, I've gone at least 2-4 times a week. I'm a student, so I've been taking Horley's Sculpt because it's cheap and delicious. I don't eat badly... I've got a really healthy diet and have wholegrain cereal for breakfast, lean chicken/tuna for dinner with some bread and salad, no soda etc etc ALTHOUGH, I do have KFC every 3 weeks as a treat.I'm pretty short (5'1), 69 kgs, size 10 (if that matters) and I'm just stumped as to HOW THE HECK do I loose any more fat. As of this week I do....3x15, 30kg chest press3x15, 40kg shoulder press3x15, 70-80kg leg press", 42kg leg widening thing that works your inner thighs20 minutes treadmill, random hill setting on level 12 on speed intervals10 minutes crosstrainer, random setting on level 14.I workout every other day after classes usually.I usually up the reps/weights/resistance every week, but sometimes my body can't take it and I feel faint etc.So, anyone got any tips? Bear in mind, I'm content with my body (and self esteem crushing masochist motivation techniques aren't really me), but I'd like to improve a bit.... Thanks!

Pseudonym Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Welcome, Tiny. Ignore the idiots. As Specter says, post up what you eat in a day, and we'll see if we can help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runveerun Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Hi Tiny! A bit of tweaking in your diet and cardio can make a huge difference. If you've been doing the same thing for awhile it can be a shock to the system to change it up a bit and usually gets results too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiny Posted August 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Welcome, Tiny. Ignore the idiots. As Specter says, post up what you eat in a day, and we'll see if we can help.Yes, I am a girl, hence putting this in the ladies room.Okay! Here's my diet.I always use low/no fat or low sodium options where applicable...Breakfast:A protein shake with banana and maybe a piece of wholegrain toast with half a teaspoon of margarine. I might pick up a medium latte twice a week.Lunch: *Grilled chicken/salmon on ciabatta/wholegrain bread, *thin slices of cheese on bread *tuna and mayo always with salad and water with juice of half a lemon (apparently it reduces GI or something... meh, it tastes good) and I might have a cup of tea afterwards too.Dinner: I only have dinner 2-3 times a week so I'll have a protein shake (only if it's after a workout) and grilled red meat or marinated chicken of some sort and salad and a slice of bread, followed by a cup of tea.On the weekends I might have a Wendy's frozen yogurt and some eggs on toast. And of course my KFC 2 piece quarter pack every three weeks which usually cancels out lunch and dinner for that day... usually because I'm too busy.

I think a few changes would help:Ditch the bread and eat every 2-3 hours so have a morning tea and a afternoon tea.Brekkie: keep the shake +banana and eat these on wakingMorning tea: have some protein like meat or some protein powder in some oatsLunch: ditch the bread the rest looks goodAfternoon tea: again have some protein, like tuna or meat or at least a protein shakeDinner: HAVE DINNER! have protein and vegesAfter workout have a protein shake always!If you eat small meals every 2-3 hours it will keep your metabolism going and you won't be hungry.

tiny Posted September 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Really great! The scales aren't really showing much other than the fact that I've lost a kilo, but I've lost an inch and a half off my mid section and thighs over the last week and a half :shock: :shock: from my 45 minute HIIT training. Getting stronger a lot quicker too and upped my reps twice over. BUT, I sprained my ankle quite badly while walking around the mall (I know hahahaha...I promise I wasn't drunk or wearing heels) yesterday so I don't know how long I'm going to be out of action... :cry: or should I be out of action at all?

rose Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 Good results! Bad news about the sprain! Can you walk on the ankle or are you dying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teamfatboy Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 yay for the missing centimeters, well done!Yes, you can train with a sprain... all those lovely upper-body exercises. But if you mean cardio, again if you strap it (or use the sorts of elastic bandages that a chemist sells) there are options that you can take.The one pitfall to avoid is the "sitting on the couch with the doughnuts feeling sorry" pitfall... you really don't wanna have to start-over!

tiny Posted September 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 Good results! Bad news about the sprain! Can you walk on the ankle or are you dying? Cheers! Well, I WAS dying on Monday. I'm pretty okay with pain, but I was almost in tears that night, but I'm sweet as now. Just a bit of stiffness in my calves.The one pitfall to avoid is the "sitting on the couch with the doughnuts feeling sorry" pitfall... you really don't wanna have to start-over! (oh, and I know that one :oops:)Hahaha! You're an inspiration. Though, I'm not one for doughnuts and I've hardly been home this week to get to the gym, let alone sit on the couch... but I know what you mean! I did have a steak pie though. :twisted: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaNs Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 Is it just me or should she be eating more often, looks like some days you have 2 meals or so?Try and get in 4-5 small meals, it may feel like your eating all the time but it keeps your metabolism going. Small meals may help get rid of that KFC also. Or dont Women need to eat :pfft: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
