I started the thread in another section, but they pointed here for more support.
Sometime late last year, I decided I wanted to get into better shape. I'm not (or was) obeese, but I knew I had weight I DEFINITELY wanted to lose. (Mainly on my upper body area) At the time, I was 6'3'' and I was about 195-200lbs. Medium frame.
I knew I couldn't go "hardcore" like a lot of people do, and I felt I didn't have to do anything drastic so all I did was do some light exercise and ate better than I was eating. Before I would eat 3 means a day, and if I didn't eat in the morning (like breakfast) I would eat big dinners, and then maybe even right before I fell asleep.
Well, I started cutting down on what I ate, and ate small portions of food and eating them roughly 4-5 times a day every 3-4 hours. (Trying to speed metabolism. Like in the morning (Wake up at 8am) i'd eat raisen bran cereal and a fruit, 11:30am for lunch a sandwich (like turkey) 3pm i'd eat a snack like maybe a half a sandwich or even a granola bar or something, then for dinner maybe some brown rice and some chicken. This wasn't the SAME foods I ate, but it was basically small portions every 3 hours 5 times a day, mostly chicken/turkey for meat (cut of red meat) and i'd drink nothing but water. No sodas or anything. And if I did have foods not "healthy" I would eat a SMALL portion. I also cut off the bad foods like french fries, candy, donuts.
I did the carb a day/calories a day chart too and I was eating the right portions in which it said I had to eat in order for me to get to a lower weight as well.
My cousin also told me about this weight management named "Tonalin" that I used as well.
I also have an exercise bike that I would jump on 2 times (sometimes 3 times) a week, and ride for 30 minutes, and not ride under 18-20 mph. (basically a 10 mile ride) The bike moved where one moment it would be as if i'm going uphill then the next, i'd be going downhill.
Well, I lost some weight. I'm now the same height but i'm 175-180lbs. Basically I lost 20 pounds. But there still is a problem.
I can EASILY see that I lost weight in my face, neck, arms and legs, but I still have weight on my upper body (stomach/chest area) that is still there, and that's what I REALLY want to get off. Lately, I really haven't been eating the best things, and though i'm still the same weight, it looks as if I might have a little MORE weight on my body.
I'm kinda upset about it now. I look at the charts and a medium frame (did the wrist test and doctors even said) 6'3' 178 pounds is a good weight, (or at least not bad) but I still have this weight on me I don't want. I also read up somewhere on how metabolisms sometimes cause weight to be gained in certain areas and not distributed right, but who knows.
I'm really kinda tired of this.. I want to lose this unwanted weight on my body. I want to know if you guys can give me some advice. It's gotten to the point where i've tried things for a while, and now since I have, I kinda want fast results, whether it be taking some supplement, or doing a certain exercise to focus on what I want, or anything.
So can you help me?
