How to lose body fat? - Sunday, May 29, 2005 6:10 PM
Hi everyone,
 
I am a new comer and beginner  at body building. My total weight is 103lb and I am 5 feet tall.
Although i didn't sound very chubby, my upper body does have lots of fat, especially my arm and my stomach.  I have been doing intensive exercies for  2 months , however i only lost 4lbs and my tommy and arm fat doesn't lose too much.  My goal is to have a beautiful toned body .
 
Does anyone have good suggestions about my body building ?
 
My current working out plan and diet as follow
 
Exerices :
Currently I am doing 30 minutes stair master which burns 400 calorie, 15 minutes fast jog ,which burns 120 calorie , 1 hour booty ballet yogo. I will do extra 20 minutes weight train at every other day.
 
Diet:
 
My current daily intake is around 1300 calorie. My major food intake is vegetable , whole wheat ,fish , protein supplements
 
I am looking forward to getting some helps, thx.

Hi, welcome to the forum!  I'm sure you'll get to know a lot of good and helpful people here.  It sounds like you are doing good, and it just may take a little time.  For myself... it's the right balance of weight training/cardio/diet and actually good sleep that works for me.  What does your weight training routine look like, or what have you been thinking about doing?

  Thanks for your reply, weapon X.
 
My routine weight train is  3 sets of should press, 3 sets bisec  ,3 sets chest, 3 sets of stomach,  3 sets of back  ,each sets is 12 reps. I found that my weight loss process is too slow comparing to the other. I feel that I lost some patience right now.

It sounds like you are doing a kind of circuit training, kind of doing your whole body in one session.  Also, it sounds like you are a female?  Below is a really good group of articles to check out.  You might be able to find more as well doing a search on that site about areas you are trying to improve as well.  I'm not really sure... you could explore the idea of going to split bodypart training (As shown below in my routine).  It might give that interest kick it sounds like you need?  My girlfriend works out with me and she is 5'-0" at 98lbs, she works out all the days below with me except on Tuesdays... Legs scare her, lol.  And she just needs to put some size on her upper frame because she seems to carry her weight in her lower body more, but her lower body is my favorite part though!
 
If you haven't tried it yet... I think you will have a lot of fun with the more Bodypart day splits.  With this approach you might want to pick three of four movements per bodypart, depending on the size of the muscle group.  So, if you decided to do Chest/Biceps or whatever for Monday, your day might look something like this -
 
Chest
Seated Machine Presses-3 sets
Incline DB Presses-3 sets
Machine Flys-3 sets
 
Biceps
Standing Cambered-Bar Curl-2 sets
DB Curls-2 sets
One-Arm DB Concentration Curls-2 sets
 
That should only take you around 45-60 minutes, if that... so you could also do a couple of sets of abs or whatever and then hit the treadmill for like a half hour or whatever.  I'm not sure, I'm no trainer... I know when Lisa started working out with me this way she really started to enjoy herself and the pump she got from lifting the weights and feeling the blood get into the muscle.  You could organize a split in a three-four-or five day fasion... whatever you think you could handle.  With this approach I think you will see a bog difference in your whole upper body.  You'll start to feel how everything is connected and when working one muscle group you can't help but hit other ones.  When working your chest... your shoulders and triceps are forced to work just as hard in the pressing movements, and you may feel your abs coming in to help with certain pulldown movements for your Lats, etc....  Again though, I think it's all a balance game in the long run... with the diet/cardio/weight training all in check everything comes together.  Hope this helps... or I might be way off?  See ya.

Is 1300 calories not way too low?  It sounds harsh to me, but I suppose I haven't been 100lbs since grade 3 or so.

You should try eating 5-6 small meals a day, while still keeping your calories low to promote higher metabolism... should help your body burn some fat through the day. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, I'm still somewhat a noob.

I am doing 5 meals per day right now. My metabolism seems ok. This morning I measured myself, my arm and my leg shrink another 1 inch. The thing make me frustrated is that I don't want to lose any size at my thigh ,coz it's very thin already. Did I do something wrong? I guess that I did too much stair master, however it's best fat burning exercises for me. I can burn 450 calorie at 30 mintues now. 
 
Any good suggestion for me.

Maybe your body likes to store its fat where you want to burn and inorder to burn the fat in the area you want to burn, you will have to burn fat where the body wants to burn fat first... I have noticed my arms shrink and chest a bit too, gut a bit too but my flabby butt is still there, so i assume it's going to be the last thing to leave
