I found this forum off of a website which was sent to me when i bid for pumping iron on ebay Anyways, I have a few questions but first I'll give a little background because after reading all the threads I think you will ask me about myself before you can give me some good answers. I have been going to the gym regularly for the past 7 months. I started with weights 4 times a week but decided I want to lose a lot of fat, so now I'm doing cardio 5 times a week and weights about 3 times. My diet isn't too bad- eggs and cereal for breakfast, yogurt for mid-morning snack, lunch is a turkey sandwich on pita and a salad, afternoon snack/pre or post-workout is usually peanut butter and banana or turkey sandwich, and dinner is salad and chicken. I have lost about 15 lbs of fat in the past 4 months and now I weigh about 130. I'd like to drop another 10 or 15, but seeing as I'm already up to 1 hour of cardio per day, I need a little something extra. I started taking stacker 2's just to speed me up. Can anyone give me some advice as where to go from here?

(ps sorry this was so long!!)

Great advice fitness-girl. I totally agree.

One more little tip hun, would be to add some flax oil or Udo's Oil into your diet somewhere. Udo's taste better and has a better profile. Two tablespoons a day would be ideal. I just usually mix it either in my protein shake or i have it with my cottage cheese. Or if i'm feeling brave, I just shoot it back and chase it down with some grapefruit juice.

Quote: I would up the weights to four times a week. Are you doing an hour of cardio 5 times a week? That's an awful lot hun.    Reply » Lots of questions I was up to an hour of cardio 5 times a week, but then since my boyfriend took from Christmas to New years off, so did I. Now I'm doing either 30 or 45 mins per day and building back up slowly. I only do weights at school 3 times a week because the gym is so busy no matter when I go. As for the eating, its a little tougher in the cafeteria here    Reply » Lots of questions Great advice from fitness-girl and Fyre! heed their advice! I agree I would cut back on the cardio as well. no need to build it back up to 60 mins 5x week. Id cut it back to 3x and make them interval style for 25-30 minutes rather. and concentrate alot on lifting, 4 days as suggested would be optimum. is there a better time of the day that you could go when not so busy? as for eating in the cafeteria, is it possible to inquire about having them stock special food items.. I know some schools will do that if you ask about it. If not do you have a mini fridge? a microwave that you can use?
