Help! Please.
I am to the point of being red hot pissed off with this sudden stop in weight loss. I haven't lost a single pound in 10 days and its nothing short of infuriating when you are busting your ass everyday in the damn gym.
Here are the diet, measurements and targets.
Diet:
I use fitday.com to track everything that goes in my body so I know my info is correct and not merely guessed.
2000 Cal diet per day, give or take a 150 Cal, most often under. Once every two weeks or so, I will go up 2500 calories to try to keep the body from adapting.
High protein diet, lower on carbs and limited healthy fats
Protein 200 to 220 grams a day, Carbs 130 to 150 grams, and fats around 60 grams - mostly monos/polys. Food sources are lots of lean meat - chicken and salmon, veggies -broccoli and cauliflour, peanut butter, citrus fruit, almonds, only Whole wheat bread and limited amounts of that, and 2 to 4 cups 1% Milk.
I lift six days a week about 60mins per session, incorporating compound lifts, circuits and supersets. I have varied my cardio from an 8 minute warm up on the treadmill, to a 38 minute run and everything in between to find something that works.
Measurements
As of 02/12/08
Bodyfat percentage 23.6
Weight 236 (since then down to 223)
Waist 38
Biceps 16 1/2
Chest 42.5
TARGET Goals:
To get to under ten percent body fat, and preferably closer to that 7% area, thinking this should be about at 195 lbs. I've been working my ass off to get this done by late spring/early summer. My target date is May 1st. That gives me about three weeks cushion for unplanned circumstances, or adjustments along the way. Secondary goal is to add significant new lean muscle mass to get a good lean, solid muscular look.
