I've been lifting and dieting on my own for about a year, lost about 30 lbs and put on a lot of muscle...but I still have quite a bit of fat to lose. I'm at 190, 5'10" and about 20%BF....I tried a free PT session at my gym and the trainer completely kicked my butt and it was all body weight exercises. Question is, should I keep doing what I'm doing (lift 5x a day and cycling classes) or should I dish out the money and do the PT? SHe says "in a year I'll look I'll look like a superstar". But I'm skeptical...any thoughts please?

Don't bother. PT can't clean up your diet for you. Should be very easy for you to get into the low teens if you fix your diet.

I think my diet is fair...for breakfast I either eat whole wheat toast and egg whites with skim milk or a bowl of cherrios or plain oats. For lunch and dinner I switch between lean steak, chicken breast, and turkey with lots of veggies. I drink a protein shake per day (on my hour drive home from work) and drink lots of water at work.
I really just don't wanna pay for a PT...but I think I'm in somewhat of a slump in my progresss.

I'd pass based on the superstar comment alone. I mean, who really wants to look like Mick Jagger?Originally Posted by sigmapiguy1061

Agreed. Just keep lifting and get diet in check and you'll see positive results with dedication, patience, and consistency.

start counting calories rather then just "eating healthy", eat at a deficit consistently and the weight will come off you, slowly but surely.

It'll come off eventually. You can't spot reduce fat sadly. Just keep the diet in check and lift.Originally Posted by sigmapiguy1061

Is she hot at all? If she is then it can be considered depending on how much. If no, then even if shes cheap I won't.
