I started the fitday.com thing. I figured I would do it here too.

Height: 5'1"
Weight: 130 lbs
Age: 20

Goal: I am trying to loose about 20lbs of fat. THen after that I would like to start cutting.

Diet: I am not really sure what to eat sence I have read so many different things on here. (I know to build musce you need a lot more caloric intake than caloric intake for loosing weight.)
I am not sure how much of what is good, so I only eat when I am hungry. I know they say eat 6 meals a day, but I am never hungry enough to do that, I already eat small enough meals.

Hold backs: I would like to let everyone know (for people who may advise me later on) That I can not really do any strenuos leg activitys like lunges, leg press, squats.....even running on the treadmill tend to hurt me on some days . This is the result of some of the permant injuries I have gotten from a car accident I was in a few years ago; which was also the reason I quit working out.

Work out History (Muscle memory cells) -For the past 12 years I have been a very active gymnast and cheerleader.


ANY COMMENTS ARE APPRECIATED!

Glad to see you posting! :)

Calories are a bit too low, your meals could be a LOT healthier as well..
drop the little debbies and I always thought sunny d was kind of fake like tang? I could be wrong.. I would't call that a meal, and wouldn't eat that unless it was all I had in the car on a roadtrip with no access to other options...

an orange and diet soda(?) again is not really a meal... you need carbs/protein and fat...(good fats, not little debbie)

Meal three is your best meal so I'll leave that one alone

Meal four, again isn't really a meal...try using whole grain sprouted breads (I LOVE trader joes sprouted breads, one or 1 1/2 slices fills me up about the same as 3 slices of the sara lee whole wheat bread used to)

Just mainly looks like you need to clean your diet up, eat a little more calories, and a lot more protein...
and veggies, a slice of tomato and a leaf of lettuce I wouldn't even really count as one serving of veggies...

are you going to do any strength training, at least upper body? If i were you I'd at least do some yoga (skip poses that would hurt you) because that can also build some strength.

I was not hungrey enought to eat anymore than that today. I did not get up until 2pm. I ate the oatmeal cookie before the gym about 3pm, meal wo was right after the gym, meal three i think was too fatting and was about 8pm and meal four was about midnight. Also I do not like regular OJ. I bought some Whey Protien that I am going to start taking again. I was told by the Registered Dietitions that I work with at the ospital that I need to lessen my caloric intake and increase the cardio and that 1200 was all the calories I needed.

I was doing this workout:
http://www.menshealth.com/cda/artic...119-168,00.html
as well as this:http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/fawnia1.htm

But then I read:
No a woman should train like a man trains when he is bulking.
6 reps of screaming agony by aurora and ms fit

So I am not sure what to do b/c is it 10-15 or 6-8? I know u can not really screw up cardio so I have relied on that untilI know what to do.

Is this site accurate for weight loss nutriotion.... it says i need 1683 calories, 212 protein, 153 carbs, 24 fat?

www.ast-ss.com --> nutriotion calculator
Also, Can I bulk while loosing weight? that is my problem...I do not know wether to decrease my caloric intake to loose weight or to increase it to bulk the muscle........

hunger aside, the food choices/combos or lack of combos was what was mostly suffering, I know we all have cheat days, so your day isn't going to break you, and I'm sure you know not to do that too much, what with the eating junky foods and little meals with slim to zero protein.

I can't say what calorie counter is right, but the amount of calories it came up with is a lot better than eating 1200 calories a day for an active young adult.

I also don't know much about which way of training is right, but I will say I'm seeing great results with the heavier weights/lower reps (i wouldn't say it's screaming agony though) and doing less cardio. I was having a hard time getting back in shape and losing the pudge and was mainly doing cardio and one weight day a week... then I found this site, after reading a lot, I lowered the cardio and lifted heavier, and more organized, more days devoted to weight training.
It is hard since I love cardio so much, but I notice too the more I rest the more I feel my body hardening in response to the workouts.

Just a quick note- I agree with JJill....I used to do a ton of cardio then I swapped the two and lift heavy more days a week then doing cardio. However, my cardio isn's a walk in the park either it is usually some kind of HIIT or Fartlek training (2.5 max hrs. a week) it is spread out through out my week so I have recovery. The comment I wanted to add here is since I've increased my intensity in cardio AND weight lifting I can't imagine doing much more then 2.5 hrs. week of cardio....trust me your views of the two will flip flop and you'll realize that unless your cutting for a show that hours and hours of cardio are not necessary unless your an endurance athlete.

Thanks for all your comments! I have decided to go with the max ot training program. Thay give you full instructions for a work out and a precise cal/fat/protien/carb count while in the program. Today I have so far been able to keep to junk food out and 50% of my diet has been from protein. I will check in later with my nutrition for the day!

Goal: I am trying to loose about 20lbs of fat. Then after that I would like to start cutting.

Did you write that incorrectly? Sorry - I haven't read everyone else's posts, but wanted to quickly comment on this.

Losing fat IS cutting. Did you mean that you want to lost fat and then bulk to build muscle? Because you're doing it backwards, girl!

Building muscle comes first, then you cut your bodyfat to show off those sexy abs you've trained. :) If you try to cut without having built muscle, you will just end up with a skinnier version of your current body - NOT a more shapely, muscular physique. Concentrate on building muscle - eat lots of protein, eat often (5-6 meals per day), and lift hard. Don't worry about cardio now - You will do that when you're cutting later. Keep in mind that muscle burns fat, so by weight-lifting, you will lose fat and be on your way to achieving your goals.



Hold backs: I would like to let everyone know (for people who may advise me later on) That I can not really do any strenuos leg activitys like lunges, leg press, squats.....even running on the treadmill tend to hurt me on some days . This is the result of some of the permant injuries I have gotten from a car accident I was in a few years ago; which was also the reason I quit working out.!

There are millions of exercises out there - I suggest you post this question in the training section and get advice from others who have leg injuries. I think Sillyvent has bad knees... You might want to send her a private message and see if I've remembered the right person, and ask her what exercises she uses to train around her injury. Of course, ensure that you start slowly, and perhaps ask your doctor about the exercises before attempting them.

In terms of cardio though (see my first comment), but in the future you could use an eliptical trainer, or stationery bike.
