I don't understand my body type.....

[bigmag]

Hey cuttie....been a long time.....anyways.....you might wanna try to cut some carbs out of your diet here and there. Not a whole lot just cut down about 20g each day from where you're at right now. Another thing you might be doing wrong is your cardio (I'm not sure if you are or not, I just don't know). Make sure you're hitting your target heart rate (70%) and not going over it. you can figure it out by subtracting your age from 220 then multipying that by .7 ........that will be your target heart rate in beats per min. if you wanna make it a little easier to calculate it just divide that number by 6 and that's your target heart rate for every 10 sec. Other than that.....I'm not sure what else to tell you.....Keep at it girl and the results will come. Good Luck!!!!


p.s.

pm me when you get the chance!!!!!

I know this doesn't belong in here, but I have seen your pics on the other board, and I think your body type is heaven. just my 3 cents

I second that

 

[BauerCuba]

switch it up

Personally, I feel changing what you do for cardio helps.

Example:
Monday: Run 3 miles
Tuesday: Bike 1/2 hour
Wed: Sprints *
Thursday: Off (Depending on when you want to workout legs?)
Friday:Stairmaster
Saturday: START OVER


*I have been running sprints with Ninjax. We usually use a football and run patterns and wide receiver drills. The football gets your mind of the pain!

In my personal experience I can be on a good diet for a while, and drop the fat, then i begin to plateau. If i change my diet some, then i break through that plateau. As everybody is different I can only give my experience. But for me I think I have to change things up every once in a while to keep progressing.

First let's see the diet.

Next, try using some meds to help you lose. Ephedrine, clen, ppa, and yohimbine would all be good choices. I'm not a firm believe in cardio either. Especially the amount that you're currently doing. Diet is the MOST important part of weight loss...

We all have different metabolisms. My advice would be to try something different. Maybe bump UP your cals a little and try a different type of cardio like steep incline and lower speed on the treadmill. Maybe train heavier (more muscle, faster metabolism.) Give yourself an honest assessment and see if you are:
1.drinking enough water
2.eating 5-6 meals
3. cut carbs after 4pm
4.weights at least 3 days a week
5.cardio 4-5 days a week

Play with your % of carbs, fats, and protein. Keep the protein high, but have either fats or carbs in a meal, not both.
If all else fails get some GH,clen, and t3.

really can't critique on anythign unless you post your diet..but everything elses sounds good..might also try changing up your cardio exercises.

you might be allergic to some foods, that could be one of your problems. sometimes subtle food allergies can prevent a person from dropping weight.

Ok, this is whats REALLY frustrating. I have been doing the 20 min solution that Bill talks about for the past 9 months, and I'm REALLY fast and strong now. Its so intense, that I for my "high point" I'm running at 10 MPH at an incline of 10. Plus, I switch that up a bit as well, doing spints every 30 seconds, ect for 20 minutes. So now, I have been doing the cardio solution WITH the extra low intensity cardio, AND still doing my weight training 3 times a week. I'm taking fat burners, and betagen as well. Here is what my diet looks like:

Meal 1--- 1/2 cup oatmeal, 2 egg whites, 2 full eggs
Meal 2-----Meal replacement shake (42 grams protien, 25 carbs)
Meal 3----Large salad with salmon or chicken, with 1/4 cup brown rice
Meal 4---protein bar or chicken breast, and steamed veggies
Meal 5---proteiin bar or chicken breast
Meal 6-----1 can tuna and chicken breast, 1 tbs olive oil


So, as you can see, I don't eat carbs for my last 3 meals------I just started this "lower carb" diet-----and guess what? I have GAINED 2 pounds this week. I have one of those tanita scales, and it says I've gained fat too! ERRRRRRRRR. I take a million vitamins as well. I have cut out all sugar in my diet---which was fruit or bars and shakes that had sugar in them.

I also drink 1-2 gallons of water a day

I also rotate between the elliptical and treadmil every other day.

How in the hell could I gain weight and fat on that diet?

I'm trying REALLY hard to stay positive, buts I'm getting really frustrated. For the past 3 months, I have only lost 6 pounds. And I'm working my ASS OFF.
