Hi. I've been reading the posts and threads today,hearing alot of info. I am 40ish, 240#. I have been doing a full body workout on resistance machines at a local gym for the last 4 months.(Curves) During part of that time (11 weeks) I was also on a low-carb (20-60g) diet. I worked out three days a week. I lost 13# and 1% bodyfat (44%). I cheated twice during that period (not at all like the carb-ups I've read about) and didn't miss but 2 workouts. Very discouraging for me.
I laid off for the last month(during the holidays) and have just begun a full body workout, three days a week at another gym with bodymaster machines and free weights. My last workout was 1.5 hours (still getting used to the machines) and then I walked (quick pace) 2 miles directly after. I am no longer on a low-carb diet.
Chicken brsts and tuna 4-6 times a day won't cut it in my house. My son is underweight and my husband will just raise h**l! I am ready for a change but don't know which way to turn, too much info. Today, I have eaten less than 800 calories, don't have much here that I should eat. Grocery shopping has become a nightmare, so I do it very little. I am very busy during the day and can't always get to a microwave or sit down at lunch sometimes. I take a full load at school (student) and put in 25 hours a week on two part-time jobs, and am active in things on campus in addition to my time working out. I have looked at too many sites on the internet already and am at overload. Can you help me with tomorrow?

Well, that is what you get when you need to eat! Maybe the above was too much info. What I really need to know is why I lost only 1% bf? I followed everything that I was supposed to do, lc and work out 3 days a week. I didn't do that much cardio, I've been reading how much some people do here. I know I didn't have the timing down for each thing like I am reading here and elswhere. How do you make your bf% move, up or down??? Any words are good.
