I have to go back...

[Sgonzalez76]

Hi everyone! I gained 16 pounds.....


I start my workout and healthy diet 5 time a day on March 2008 you can see it on my profile, I lost a total of 14 pounds from March to July from 144 to 130, by the end of August I went on vacation with my hubby and I got pregnant "surprised" we were so happy but I stop eating healthy I got very bad sicknesses and for the first two months I'd just ate two things, some fruits and carbs so I started slowly gain the weight back but just fat, I stop my workout by the end of October I had a miscarriage then I was depress I waited a month to try to go back to the gym but I started going once a week of course not diet so still gain weight, on Feb 2009 I cancel my gym membership and keep running once or two a day doing some free weights and that's it.....I'm on 146 pounds since Feb 2009 I gained a total of 16 pounds in 6 months, I like that I don't look skinny but I really don't like my middle section "it's horrible", so I decided to lose at least 10 pounds and try to start with the healthy diet, the only thing I need and very important is the MOTIVATION and I hope a journal can help a little, I think I need an appetite suppressant and I don't have energy, should I get my gym membership back? or should I just run and do cardio first at home?....Any suggestion?



Thanks for reading this journal.

Ok I'm starting all over again I hope I can be consistent and keep it.

I'm 5'7", 40 years old, 146 lbs I have to lose at least 10 lbs (fat) and build some muscle.

Today menu:

Meal one
1/2 cup oatmeal
1 scoop protein powder

Meal two

Strawberry smoothie (containing)
1/2 cup strawberries, 1 scoop protein
4 ounces low fat milk, crushed ice

Meal three

6 ounces grilled chicken breast
large salad (containing)
lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber

Meal four

1 apple

Meal five

4 slices of turkey
green vegetables



I wonder if would be good to have a protein shake for meal six?

I'm sorry for your loss...but I'm so happy you're back.

Your new eating plan lacks protein (more whole food protein) and healthy fats. Get those fats up and you'll have more energy. You need to be at 1700 calories a day for just fat loss. If you're looking to add a little more muscle, but keep lean then bump it up to 1900...the choice is yours.

Track your numbers in www.fitday.com or some other site to make life easier.

I would def focus on the diet first, then hit the weights, cardio last...will get you the best results.

Best of luck, I'll be following along.

Hi Kimm!

I'm happy to be back, thanks for your suggestions which I'm going to follow, fitday.com is a very good site thanks for remind me, I would like to lose fat and get some muscles but I'm not sure if it's possible do both at the same time, if it's not, I'll concentrate on losing fat and then build some muscles.

Thanks again,
Lilibet
