You should attempt to write down everything you eat on a normal day and not leave anything out. Post it out here and that will give everyone a chance to critique your nutritional shortcomings.

If we don't know what you are doing, we can't figure out a fix.
 
Welcome to the forum Krystal lynn...you may want to ask for expert advice in the Advanced Weight Loss forums and also start a diary in the diary section. I think it would help. Also it may benefit you to join one of the weight loss challenges in the challenges section. Do you have a scale?

Best wishes to you on your weight loss journey :D
 
Thanks .. But i dont have a scale .. I will find out tomorrow whats all my wieght.. BMI .. from the personal trainer that i just got to be able to help me more .. i will post it up .. I did my before pictures yesterday .. I will start writing everything thing down that i eat ..

Ps. What a good calorie max or min start start of with?
 
I'm starting off with 1200 I think that is the min recommended...but check with your trainer to see what is good for you. All the best!!
 
Krystal Lynn, Congrates on taking the first step to success. First off believe you can do it and never beat yourself up if you have an off day. While being in the Air Force for nearly 11 years and seeing multiple traininers, there has been one thing beat in my head time after time. You don't need all the protien shakes or weight loss pills. A few small things to live by and you will see results, Guaranteed!

1. Drink WATER! Lots of Water! The old myth of 8-8oz glasses is not enough when you are active. Drink 80-90oz a day atleast.

2. 4-5 "Small" meals a day. Eat something rather then nothing. This will help lower your over all calorie intake. Eat slowly until you are satisfied.

3. Very important: Never miss breakfast. This goes back again to the "eat something rather then nothing".

4. Get atleast 20 mins a day of an aggressive workout a day, 3-4 times a week.

I promise you that you follow these four things and you will see results. Now, the hardest thing is not being discouraged. It might take you 5-6 weeks to see major results.

You can do it! I am doing it right now!

Good luck and we are all here right along with you. Feel free to email me anytime.
