I actually followed along and estimated all my numbers. From what I've figured, it looks like I need to keep my caloric intake at about 1600 a day in order to lose 2lbs/week, even if I'm lifting at the gym. Hmmmmm. . . doesn't that sound a bit low?

I've been getting results (I'm really trying to prevent my butt from falling victim to gravity & I've never toned my backside before so I'm trying to make up for lost time) but am wondering if I will get better/faster results if I cut it down to 2x a week instead. How many times a week can I work each muscle group without risking regression? I want to wait the minumum amount of time ~ preferably at least 2x a week. Thoughts?

I'm basically doing my own research and forming my own workout routine and schedule. I'm doing it a little blindly since I can't afford a trainer and there's so much information out there that sometimes it makes my mind run in circles. I have yet to really determine what my precise intake of calories should be per day (on and off days) as well as the best amount of lifting per week. If anyone can help tailor my workout schedule, I would appreciate the advice. I could email you my workout or you can check out my Workout Tracker so far. . .

That seems a bit much to me, you obviously want to be fit bad enough but that can be a double edged sword. If you train too intensely and don't let your body heal itself you will not see the improvement you are looking for. Anyway, you are looking great and keep up the hard work!!

The two times I got lean my abs never showed. I had good strength in the entire gut area on both occasions, but my diet sucked. I didn't want the total package, just the power and size. A washboard stomach was not at all on my agenda and, with my high fat cell count and upbringing, I have to work very hard to get ripped abs. Best!

Also, are you fueling your system in a way that goes along with your training and goals. If you aren't getting enough water or carbs, you could bonk after a week or two. Glycogen is only available in limited quantities and needs to be replenished regularly. As for water, it not only keeps things circulating better, it eliminates toxins while doing so. Much of this is elementary, but maybe you can take a look at your stuff and pick out something obvious by using basic thinking like the above. Best!

If you aren't getting enough carbs of the right kind, your body could be running out of glycogen. Rest/sleep is when the body recuperates. What is going on with your water intake? So many variables...read this site or post more info for better advice. Best! Is your eating and rest properly supporting your training?
