Ok lets see well My name is Miguel I started working out about a year ago
I weight roughly 290lbs i now weight 250-255lbs
ok so my problem is i stopped working out for like 4 months when winter came
(i had also stopped loosing weigtht so i became dicouraged)
and i have decided to start up again. it's not really bad since i have not really gained weight since i stopped working out i have remained 250-255 but now summer is almost here and my will is in over drive.
my equipment consists of a bowflex ultimate 2, some free weights, a trek 4200 bike, my treadmill burnt out
I have been working out for about a week now and no real results but this probably my diet.
Here is an example of my routine:
icurrently do cardio on a stationary bike 6 days a week and weight lift 6 days a week so my routine is something like, Mon 40-45 minutes cardio then about 1:00-1:30 weights abs,arms,chest , Tues the same exepct legs, back, shoulers, wed etc,
my question is this routine sufficient my goal is to reach 200-205lbs or is this overkill or wastefull
My diet (new diet just started) consist of NO bread, NO Fried, No tortilla, No rice, No pasta, and nothing but water problem is i cant do the no bread part.
I also have problem counting calories it's not easy i still eat at home nearly everyday and im mexican meaning everything is home cooked no labels also means im in hell with my new diet (no tortillas, lol
)
Also what i noticed last summer was when i was working out i loose my apetite during normal hours i would only eat once sometimes twice a day probably between 12-1pm and at home and i dont want to starve myself but im normally startving right after my workout is this normal should i eat after my workout as i did not last summer (eventually the hunger settles, i just figured they where cravings)
My goals as i stated are to loose weight primarily but im also looking to gain muscle ( i have already gained some muscle but want to really focus on one thing at the time as this the fastest method so ive read) other tahn that coming to this forum is mostly about support
I will attempt to post pictures of what i look like as a picture is worth a 1000 words ( and you all know how difficult it is topost pictures of your body when your overweight)
Thanks for any help
