stellar Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Hi I am new here, saw some posts on myfitnesspal from this site and liked what I saw. Last December I noticed that i had put on some weight and that my lifestyle had become unhealthy. I knew the path i was headed down was not leading anywhere good so i decided to change. I joined a gym, started eating healthy, tracking my calories, and lost the weight and built some muscle doing it. I am feeling and looking much better. Now i am no longer trying to lose fat, just get stronger and keep heading i the right direction. Decided to join here for some motivation and to connect with others with fitness goals Stellar Quote Link to comment

stellar Posted November 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 To lose the fat in the beginning I ate with a calorie deficit, about 1200-1400 cal per day, with four 30 min cardio sessions per week. As my weight approached goal, I started strength training using free weights, I do full body routine three times per week followed by a 20 min cardio workout. I stopped tracking my calories now and just listen to my body. now i am trying to maintain and gain strength. Down 12 pounds, and one size clothes Quote Link to comment
