Well I have been reading these boards for a few days now trying to soak up as much information as possible. I would like to thank everyone that helps me in advance. I have already recieved a great amount of help here by just reading the old posts. First of all I am a 29 yr. old female, 5'5", 125 lbs. I am trying to lower my body fat to around 15% (from 18%). I work out 7 days a week, 3-4 days of weight training and 7 days of cardio. I am trying to take in about 1500 cal. and up to this point I have only counted calories and not carbs and proteins. So that I am changing thanks to my Nutritional profile. I also will begin the fitness program Monday morning. I have come to the conclusion that I am overtraining and possibly undereating. My problem is I really don't know how fast or slow my metabolism is and I am guessing my maintainence calories to be aound 2000 a day. I have been adjusting from 250-500 and I have been staying the same or actually gaining a lb or 2. Can someone help me and send me in the right direction? Please let me know if I can provide anymore information. thanks,
Kjhalter

hey your so good that you workout so much. i cant even get the motvation to do anything.from previous attempts to loose weight Id say ure putting on muscle the actually loosing the body fat which is a gud thing if you want to become muscley but bad if you want to look in preportion.maybe cut down on the toning exercises and focus more on the cardio workouts. hope its some help. if you have any info for me that would be great.im trying to looose weight after having a baby im 196lbs and want to get to 125lbs but with a 6 month old baby its hard to find the time nevermind the energy. i realy want to loose the weight because im going on vacation in august and my 21st birthday is in march so id love to show of a new body.
