I'm a tad confused here.<BR>Do a search on here for others looking for basic advise.  I think youll find most women here are looking to not only lose fat but (more imoprtantly to most of us I think) also gain MUSCLE.  All that cardio with all those carbs in your diet isn't going to do much for you.  We all kindof throw around this nasty term called "skinny-fat".. and Im  hoping thats not the route you are trying to take.<BR>Most of the women here weigh more than they actually look like they do.. why?  Muscle.  Plain and simple.  Transpose your extra fat with muscle, and you could be a solid and stunning 5'5" 132#.<BR>Get your BF tested.  Eat more protein and get a trainer that knows about weight bearing exercises. <BR>BTW.. stop looking at the scale.   <IMG SRC="http://www.elitefitness.com/ubb/smile.gif">||209.117.91.56||reg||

You haven't been working at the diet long enough to see any results yet.<P>There are many many changes that could be made in your diet...go to the diet discussion board and look under "did someone say lose fat"...I've posted my diet there.  Maybe you can get some ideas there.<P>Good for you for starting down the right path...if you have any questions on what I posted just ask.<P>------------------<BR><I>Patience is a bitter plant, but it has sweet fruit.</I>||209.179.216.44||reg||

I'm also going to purchase some of the protein powder as well. Which kind do you buy the Penta Pro MRP or the just the Penta Pro? Have you ever tried their Night Formula shakes?||209.132.222.39||reg||
Z||000006||skydancer||09-01-2000||07:33 PM||skydancer43@hotmail.com||You can adjust your diet according to your particular needs...aim for 1-1.5g protein per pound bodyweight.  The carbs and fat you can move up or down according to what feels good to you.  For example, you might cut the fat a bit lower than I gave an example of so it is more to 20% than 30% of your intake.  Do you know how to figure out your percentages of your macronutrients?  You might also want to cut out the evening shake and distribute it elsewhere so you are not eating late at night but this has to be your own personal preference.  Listen to your body and see what feels good.  I'm always making adjustments to mine.  Recently I lowered the fat intake and upped the carb intake just slightly so I am more at a 40/40/20 ratio.  I want to see how that feels this month.<P>I use penta pro - not the MRP.  I wanted the protein benefit only.  I try to get most of my foods whole if I can.  I've never tried the other kind you mentioned.<P>Don't forget that it IS okay to have a cheat meal here and there.  I just have to be careful because I seem to crave more crap when I'm eating things I normally don't.<P>You asked for other versions...you mean like other days or less calories or???<P>------------------<BR><I>Patience is a bitter plant, but it has sweet fruit.</I>||216.244.32.4||reg||
Z||000007||SassyS||09-01-2000||07:33 PM||latexss@yahoo.com||If you cant gack down the protein shakes, try a protein bar.  (I have a hard time with shakes)  I like Pure Protein Bars, Blueberry cheesecakes flavored.  Yum||209.117.91.56||reg||
Z||000008||skydancer||09-01-2000||07:36 PM||skydancer43@hotmail.com||btw - sassy is correct about ignoring the scale.  As you replace muscle to fat ratio changes, the scale might not change at all or even go up.  I look better at 140 than I ever did at 125.<P>------------------<BR><I>Patience is a bitter plant, but it has sweet fruit.</I>||216.244.32.4||reg||
