Hello Everyone!
Like all of you, I am here for motivation. I am currently a 23 year old female, and have been wanting to lose weight for about the past 5 years...and here I am - still around the same weight range, not much progress.
I am 5'4" and approx. 152lbs. I love to workout and have been doing so for years.
My current routine is as follows ( I switch it up every couple months):
Monday - Lots of cardio (1 hour - 1.5 hours)
Tuesday - Cardio (45 mins) & abs
Wednesday - Biceps and back + 30 mins cardio
Thursday - shoulders + 30 mins cardio
Friday - chest & triceps + 30 mins cario
Saturday - legs + 30 mins cardio
Sunday - off day - but I usually run 3 miles or bike 7 miles this day
With all of that, I still manage to maintain or gain weight - BUT - thats because of my food intake. Diet is my main problem. I am VERY into fitness and nutrition information, I just have a hard time APPLYING the nutrition aspect. I will do good for about a week and then the weekend will hit and thats when it all goes downhill....
Anyhow...I know what NEEDS to be done. I just need the motivation and support to do it and stick with the nutrition aspect. As with most people, I want to SEE results right away - but I know thats not the case and these things take time. One quote that I love is from a trainer who was speaking to a client: The client wanted to see results right away and was complaining about the time it takes for results to show. The trainer told her " you have been eating like a pig for 30 years, you cannot expect to undo that in a week or two..." I know it may sound harsh to some of you... but when you think about it, it really does make a lot of sense.
Anyhow..I will being taking "before" pics soon and posting them. My goal weight is 125-130.
