If you all can't help me I'm lost...

vanessa carla · 04-14-2008, 10:54 AM

Okay so here's the deal...I'll start with the facts.

I'm getting married in 75 days.
I work out 6 days a week weight training and cardio.
My strapless dress is really snug in the 6 inches right below my arm pits.

I need to lose an inch or two in my bust and I dont know how to get it done.
Seems like my regular routine just isn't cutting it.
Here are the details.

Monday: Bicep Curls (Dumbbells and Barbells)
Tricep Extensions
Seated Dumbbell Press
Benchpress
Flat Dumbbell Fly
3 sets of 10 reps
2 mile run

Tuesday: Squats
Lunges
Standing calf raises
Wall Sits
Hamstring Curls
3 sets of 10 reps

Wednesday: 2 mile run

Thursday: Same as Monday
Friday: Same as Tuesday
Saturday: 2 mile run
Sunday day off

I eat about 4 small meals a day plus a whey shake.
I feel like I'm doing great but my dress doesnt agree. How can I loose that inch or two?

I'm not going to be able to be a good critic on the workout but it seams decent enough to get work done, all i can tell you is to be patient you have 75 days you say correct? thats plenty of time to lose a couple of inches. Just make sure that you try and bump those 4 meals and try to bump it to 6 meals..Find out the calorie intake you need to lose weight ( you can find a calculator somewhere on the sight) and just keep it up..these things take time and dedication but with 75 days you can get allot accomplished. good luck

I am not a big fan of your workout, but I will let someone else address that.

Diet is going to be your key here.

**Built** · 04-14-2008, 12:40 PM

Okay - let's get some more detail going here.

What exactly do you lift? Please describe exactly your routine.

Monday
Lifts, sets, weight used, reps
Cardio done, duration…

Tuesday
Wednesday
Etc.

Also - your diet.
I only need to know total calories, total grams of protein, carb and fat.

Let's get this going for you.

K?

You only need big compound lifts. Ditch 90% of the isolation stuff.

Do what Built says. Find your maintenance calories. Start gradually lowering from there.

Eat enough protein at every meal. ~1g/lb

**Built** · 04-14-2008, 06:55 PM

Ah, Witchblade, you read my mind.

NFOMan · 04-16-2008, 07:56 PM

Yo, Vanessa. This sounds like a desperate call.

But why? You either love this guy or not. Why are you lost? You are in charge of your life. Take charge!

And let some of us chauginest pigs know how it is to be rejected!

Lots of support

tomuchgear · 04-17-2008, 08:25 AM

you may not like doing circuit, but how long have you been running? nothing will work for ever, after some time you have to switch things up.

johnfit · 04-18-2008, 01:21 PM

Watch the Calories but don't go too low.. Lift the weights, but pick up the cardio and eat only healthy carbs.. You'll tighten up!

**Built** · 04-18-2008, 01:22 PM

What the hell is a healthy carb?
LOL!

tomuchgear · 04-18-2008, 01:38 PM

well i would say whole wheat pasta if were in a sport that requires carb loading.

**Built** · 04-18-2008, 01:42 PM

White rice is a healthy carb.

LOL healthy carb! It's a glucose polymer. Pick your poison!
