Update on Progress
Well, I lost two trainers due to personal reasons and have been struggling without a regular one since January. I now have a new one. He doesn’t speak a lot of English, but we get buy. Hopefully it will help me get back on track. I have to change my short term goals. I haven’t been successful recently. Weight keeps level or creeps up a kilo or so. I haven’t figured out why. Meals during the day: Protein Bar 2 Carrots 2 Apples 4 Celery Stalks 2 Trail Mix Bars 1 cup Rice w Chicken Breast or Pork & Vegetables for lunch 1 Cup Rice with Ground Beef & Salad or Vegetables for Dinner Bowl of Watermelon Small cup of Nuts & Dried Fruit 1 Cup Coffee w Equal and some milk Loads of water 2 or 3 Diet Cokes Exercise - 4-5 cardio sessions at High Intensity for 45 Minutes 3 weight sessions with Trainer Any Thoughts?

Hi mate, Only thing I can think of is watch your sugar and GI. My only lifestyle breakthrough in recent memory was when i realised how many "healthy" things contain more sugar than good stuff. I love fresh almonds, protein shakes and yoghurt as snacks between meals.
Just make sure you’re head is in the right place. It’s you against you so if you aren’t in it - you aren’t in it!
Good luck man

BD, agree with harddeck…notice the foods he lists, almonds, protein, yogurt. All high protein and monunsaturated fats. You appeat to be undereating which makes your body want to store fat. Focus on more protein.
I’ll send you some specifics.

My body reacted similarly as yours until I started eating more meals (I currently eat 8-10 small meals a day) and monitoring my sugar intake and carb sources. I’ve lost 120 pounds, so I feel like I’ve been successful. I’d love to share more if you are interested. You can do it, just stay focused! Good luck.
