Hey all,
I've been watching this forum for a while and have decided to join in and finally for the first time in my life perhaps reach my fitness goal.
I'm 27 years old female, 5"4' tall, and currently weigh 125lbs. I used to weigh 135lbs several years ago, but have been allways active and working out for years. The thing is i have plateued, i just cannot go further from 125lbs , and mainly due to my at times inproper nutrition (sweets and carbs my weakness) and i'm also an emotional eater...and stress is a big cause of overeating for me.
9 days ago i woke up and decided to take charge. I have cut out all refined carbs and sugars, and increased my protein intake. Continue to work out, or atleast walk lots every day. I mainly eatl 1500-1900calories in a day now and don't feel hungry, and my caloric output is at about 2200cal a day now...aproximetely. I feel slimmer (slightly) and clothes fit better, but on the scale i'm still 125lbs. I'm very muscular though...my goal is to burn fat, but i hate cardio...i do maybe half hour cardio at the gym each time.
I lift weights for 30-40min...biceps 12-15lbs, i think i'm pretty strong for a small girl. Check out my pictures. My goal is 115lbs, lean and fit, not skinny. My tummy is my biggest weakness, it's NEVER been flat and tight...Even though you see muscles on my abs developing, theres the layer of fat on it...hate it! also cellulite on back tigs is bugging me..
I eat lots of fruits and vegetables, especially now since i've changed my nutrition. I will post inbetween and after pictures...if i stay this determined i should reach my goal in a month or two. Thanks for support!!!
