Hi all!
I am new here but i figured i'd start a journal so that you could get to know me! I am a 20 year old female from upstate New York. I am trying to get into the best shape of my life for my wedding on July 29th, 2006. I am open to any suggestions on my diet and fitness routine...so feel free to critique me!

Stats as of 1/9/06
Height: 5'4"
Weight: 130lbs
Chest: 32" under breasts / 37" over breasts (34DD)
Waist: 29"
Hips: 35"
Thighs: 21"
Biceps: 9.75"

My Goals
-To tone up & define all areas of my body
-Lose lots of belly fat (this is where i carry most of my weight!)
-Lower Body Fat %
-Meet a goal weight of 115lbs
-Look good in a bikini
-Be happy with myself!!!

Current Workout Routine
WEIGHT TRAINING = Mon, Wed, Fri
(alternating upper & lower body w/ 10min warm up on elliptical)

CARDIO & ABS = Tues, Thurs, Sat (30+ min run/walk in a.m. on empty stomach)

Diet
I try to stay in the 1200-1300 calorie range
Carb cycling to see how it works...
On lower body weight training days i have HIGH carbs (200 max)
On upper body weight training days i have MEDIUM carbs (130 max)
On cardio/ab days i have LOW carbs (30 max, all coming from veggies)

a typical day looks like this:
-1/2 cup oats & 4 egg whites
-whey protein shake w/ fruit
-shrimp or egg whites w/ a veggie or salad
-whey protein shake
-shrimp or egg whites w/ a veggie or salad

We get all kind of brides in my clubs in washngton DC prepping for the big day

I'll make a big suggestion, take your time and coast in, in other words the last couple weeks try to make no changes just maintain and enjoy otherwise it screws with dresses and functions.

your time frame is an excellent one, cheers

let me know if you want a program I'll write you one for free, just ask(e-mail me)

cheers

ok knock off some of the isolation exercises and hit the compounds, squats, deadlifts, RDL's GM's, bench press etc... pullups what core work do you do??
 
i wont do bench press, i have breast implants and i have seem the effects that chest exercises have done to them. (mine are under muscle) i do not want them to get smaller or farther apart after what i paid for them.

I would actually add another snack in there in between lunch and dinner. 726 calories is a very low starting point.
 
700 howmuch!?!? *falls from chair*
That is only justifyable if you are a very small midget of 30 kg!!!
If you are, then go ahead, but if you are not then you are going to ruin your metabolism with this diet.
According to what I know you should eat at least 300 kcal more and that you can still only do if once or twice per week you try to make a junkday to feed your metabolism.
Go on like this and you'll condemn yourself to a lifelong sentence of dieting and fear of every piece of cake getting straight to your fatcells.
