I need some help. Not to long ago I invested in a personal trainer for about 4mos and I did not lose any weight at all. I gained more strength but that was about it. I am 29yrs old female 185lb and carry most of my weight in my lower half. I want to lose about 30lbs by the end of April for a couple of reasons. #1 I am getting ready to graduate with my Master's degree and I would love to have this goal accomplished before graduation in May and walk across that stage nice and healthy. 2nd by fall of next year I want to have a baby and go into that being healthy and fit as well. I build muscle in my lower body easily so right now if I could remove the layer of fat I would have nice quads and gluts :-)
Diet wise I am frustrated because I have tried reducing my carbs and then eating balanced and no luck. Working out I have started back working out in the morning doing at least 45min of cardio 4-5 x a week about 2wks ago. I have done about 2days weight training with legs and 2-3 upper body and abs.
My diet now consists of:
Brkfst 4 egg whites 1 piece of low carb toast
snack low carb yogurt and turkey or ham lunch meat (18g protein total)
lunch- meat and veggie and 1/3 cup of fruit
snack - 1/3 cup of nuts
dinner - meat and veggies
later that evening - low sugar cup of hot chocolate
At this point in time I don't have anytime to waste and need to get focused because it is about getting my body healthier and finally accomplishing this fitness goal that I continued to struggle with since I was a teenager.
