Hi all I'm new here! I've been working out really hard for 5 months now and I've seen my body undergo a huge transformation but I still have ways to go before I can have the fit body I want.
I'm 25 and am studying to get certified as a personal trainer which is one of the reasons why I want to look fit and healthy.

About me:


-STATS:
118lbs-5'2", 25%-

your goals -- what are you trying to accomplish?

- I'm trying to lose fat and increase lean muscle...

- your current training & cardio schedule

Monday/Wednesdays/Fridays
Upper body
Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays
45-60min of cardio
Lower body/Abs (my lower body is very fit, I have very defined legs) I usually gain weight first in the middle...I'm a def. Meso!!!


- your current meal plan, including with each meal, portions, what you are eating and when you eat.

I eat 6 times a day:

Meal 1- 1 cuo of Oat meal and protein shake.
Meal 2- 3oz tuna and 6 wheat crackers
Meal 3- 2 oz chicken and 1/2 cup wheat pasta and veggies
meal 4- 1/2 cup of Cottage cheese (fat-free)

Welcome to EF! Congrats on wanting to LOOK like a trainer would be expected to look as well! (So many don't.... )

The upper body / lower body split will get you started, but if you've been usign that for 5 months, esp if you are starting to see any slow down in results, you might want to start looking to changing it up some. Maybe to 1-2 muscle groups / day.

Its great that you have the diet broken out into smaller portions over several meals, but I think you might want to put it into a food counts program like www.fitday.com to see just how much you are eating. The protein portions are small, maybe too small. I also think a protein bar is not a good thing to make a regular part of your diet. Too much shit in them. The food counts results will show you what you are really consuming. Just making small tweaks (like replacing the protein bar w/ some real food) will help get you to your goals faster.

Glad you found us! Post up & post often!
