I started putting no weight in college I graduated college in 2000 at 125 pounds. Four years laster I am at my highest weight ever 160 pounds. I feel uncomfortable in my own body. I am a 5'1 female. If anyone has helpful advice I would appreciate it. Thanks :cool:

livers20 Posts: 220 Joined: 2004/05/13	2004/06/15, 08:58 AM Yep I see it. Just continue to follow the workout programs from FT and the biggest thing for losing weight is your diet. Don't starve yourself!!! Try to eat every 2-3 hours a day. BB1 put together a grocery list for the weightlifter. Follow that. Remember to eat if you don't your body will go into survival mode and start to burn muscle instead of fat.

I went on weight watchers last year and they teach you how to eat. I just wasn't getting enough exercise with it.

	2004/06/17, 02:36 PM Nobody looks at your numbers. My workout intensity seems to grow with each completed 8 or 12 week program. If its not my imagination, then the computer does it. -------------- Foolish consistancies are the hobgoblins of small minds. Charlie

I stopped for about 4 months and even though back then I didn't have a problem with stamina and the diet, right now, I feel like if I continue working out for 3-4 times a week after going to the office, I'd die from fatigue! I would just like to find out how I can sustain the energy to normalize and stratify my workout routine along with work, diet and everything. :dumbbell: -------------- The best victories are won not by adversity and brute force.
