Hi all

Well for the past few months I've been using the 5 x 5 routine and have found it tough but enjoyable and the past few weeks (just for something different) I'm using a system of 12,10,8 with a lighter weight.

Now when I started middle of last summer I had a LOT of fat/inches to get rid of, and recently people have begin to comment on my changes.

but here's the thing, I'm far from where I need to be and am stuck with body fat in those usual places like the chest,hips,lower abs and inner thighs.

I realise it took years to pile this crap on so I am gonna stick with my new way of eating (even though thats been going 8 months+) with working out 3 times a week...am I doing right with what I am doing although I suspect the answer may be in my diet. weight doesnt bother me, inches do!

Heres an example

8.00am
protein shake
10.30
apple,banana
1.00
Tuna sandwich(wholemeal bread) X2 or wholemeal pitta X2
4.00
pear/granola bar
6.00
chicken,carrots brocolli cauliflower 2 boiled potatoes
8.00
Full body w/o 60-75 mins
9.45 protein shake

Thanks for reading and I would appreciate some pointers as I feel I'm stuck and just wanna get back on track.

you should add more calories in the morning instead of night. Try having a bowl of oatmeal or an egg white omelet with veggies with breakfast. Starting the day with more calories as opposedto finishing the day with them increases metabolism throughout the day. And is your protein shake in milk or water? for the night shake, id reccomend water and cut out milk (if that's what you're doing). and can you wrok out before your big dinner meal? the body can better utilize your dinner after a workout. Other than than just keep chuggin' along. Good work so far as I can tell.
 
Thanks for the info and sorry for not replying sooner. my shakes are with water and I suppose I could try and shuffle things around especially if it helps.

I'll give it a try and see how it goes.
 
I agree with blackanddom completely. You need to eat more at breakfast, it really is the most important meal of the day. Completely right about a bigger meal after workout as opposed to before workout. Make these simple changes and make sure to do some cardio work and you should see some improvements and also feel better during the day because you ate a good breakfast.
 
that's a good one for breakfast...or oatmeal without a lot of additives (avoid quaker flavored oatmeal) they are both good choices. and with the omellette you can add peppers and onions for more nutrition, just try and avoid the cheese if you wanna cut out some animal fats.
