Help? Posted: 05-08-07 22:15pm
I weigh in at 210lbs and I'm about 5'6"
though I look like I'm maybe 160-180lbs.
(smaller than what I actually am in other
words, I'm overweight but not 'OHEMGEE I'm
a whale!' just need too work on losing a
few pounds, maybe 30bs to be lean. I've
tried everything I could from diet and
excercise to those t.v. infomercials like
Hydroxy cut etc.
Has anyone else had this problem but found
success? or think they might have a
soulution? I'd like some help, and to be
able to wear smaller clothes again, (I can
still fit in store brands, but I'd like to
look neat and not have any belly or
whatever hanging out.).
Thanks!

being of shorter stature it will take you
longer to show the appearence of weight
loss. Don't get discouraged. A proper diet
and excersice is the best way to lose
weight.

I shall try harder on that ... *nods*
I've just been gaining muscle in the
process so it's a goal that's going to
take a while to achieve!
Thank-you!

Take measurments and buy a body fat scale
but DO NOT gauge your progress by weighing
yourself. Like you said you are gaining
muscle. 2 pounds of muscle is less than
half the size of 2 pounds of fat. Your
muscles are the only part of your body
that burn fat directly for fuel and they
do this even when you are not exercising.
Lastly do ever listen to anyone who tells
you that if you weight train you will get
bulky. This is a myth that started in the
70s and its lasted this long because it
re-enforces peoples fear and gives them an
excuse not to work out.
