Hey!
I'm 23 years old . I weigh 180 lbs and I'm 5'8''. I was never an active person nor was I ever been into sports in my 23 years of existence. Now, I feel like I've become really flabby and I need to be more fit. I enrolled in a gym and they put me in a program. I go to the gym everyday except on Sundays. I usually do 30 mins of cardio and 1.5 hours of strength training exercises.
As an Asian, my diet always included white rice. I had to remove that from my diet and started eating sweet potatoes/yam instead. Every now and then, I would eat something forbidden like popcorn, nuts or chips but that only happens at most once or twice a week.
So, after four months of doing all these, NOTHING!
Although my endurance went a bit higher and I could lift heavier weights and I could see some very minor changes on my back and shoulders (my back looks a bit fitter lol. why the back???), I still didn't look fit up front. In fact, some of my friends have been asking me if I gained weight (which I didn't, I still weigh the same)
I'm really depressed. Why do you think this is happening? I was blaming this to my really bad sedentary lifestyle before but after four months I don't think that really matters anymore.
