New member looking for help

brandywine13 Posts: 12 Joined: 2008/08/17	2008/09/05, 05:54 PM Just wondering the best foods and quantities of to eat when trying to loose fat. It is especially hard to workout at the right times and often as a single mother of 2. The weight training is not so difficult, but the aerobics portion is a real challenge. I've just recently read about the HIIT workout, but seems it might be difficult to do in San Antonio with the 2 little ones. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

brandywine13 Posts: 12 Joined: 2008/08/17	2008/09/07, 06:28 PM Thanx so much for the advice. Sounds like I'm already on the right track. I've been with free trainers for almost 3 weeks now, and have lost about 9 pounds. My only worry now is that since I've been working out and eating almost double the protein I was before, I seem to be bulking up. I'm already a large framed girl-5'8" weighing 162 lbs. My calf, thigh, and upper arms muscles are especially gaining mass. I don't mind the definition, but I don't want to get too big. Do you or anyone know if the growth in mass can be attributed to the increase in protein, or is it just my body type?

You can tone it down a bit, I would suggest what you do is some lighter weights and more reps also cardio helps trim down a bit as well. Maybe sum1 else could also give advice on this. Me i build body mass i like to bulk up n see my muscles ripping out haha, so dont take what i say as golden advice hehe im just going on what ive seen and heard thru other women. Also I would take this topic to the thread below this one you'll get more posts and advice on the subject. THANKS HEHE good luck.
