The most important thing, even more important than diet and trainig is consistency.

You need to start eating about 6 small meals per day. It's going to be odd to assimilate that into your life at first, so what I would reccomend is getting a protein bar (low sugar) or yogurt (low sugar) or pack something simple (like 2 hardboiled eggs de-shelled). Wake up, eat, 2 hours later, have the simple meal, 2 hours later, lunch, 2 hours later, simple meal, 2 hours later dinner, 2 hours after that simple meal and bed.

As far as fruits go, it's better than candy, but not as good as a piece of chicken, or some tuna. In the beginning stages of altering your weight though you want to do things one step at a time so you don't become overwhelmed.

Picture it like smoking ciggarettes, if you smoke 10 cigarettes a day, and just stop, it's going to be a lot harder to stick with it than if you were to ween down to 9 cigarettes and then 8 and so on and so forth.

As far as your squatting goes, if you can do a ten on each side of the bar (I'm assuming a 45 pound bar, so that's 65 pounds total) and you can do that for four sets, I don't see why you couldn't do 75 pounds.

If you can't do 75 pounds though, I would suggest lowering the weight a little bit, to 60 pounds, and doing a set of ten. Then do 65 pounds for a set of ten. Finally, throw 70 pounds on there and crank out 10 of them (or as many as you can).

This'll help your squat weight go up, and it'll also make your ass look better.

A journal is just your own thread on the forum where you make a bunch of posts of what you did at the gym, how many sets, how much weight, how many reps, cardio, diet, supplements, mood, thoughts, etc... it's just a personal diary that makes it easier to keep track of your progress and stuff and let other people read it and critique you or give you some suggestions or motivation.

just go here: http://www.discussbodybuilding.com/Online_Training_Journal/forumid_30/tt.htm
and make a new thread titled something like "Kanita's Workout Journal" or you can be creative and name it something cool like "Kanita's Sexy Workout Plan" or something fabulous like that.

I will be blunt, because this method that I will give you insight in is very, very complex and so puzzling that it's quite the phenomenon.

The secret to losing fat?

Get your diet down.

And the phenomenon part...

Get OUTSIDE and run. (Runnersworld.com)

-go to that site, they're make a training guide for you. I only use treadmills, arc trainers, ellipitcals etc. if I'm injured, otherwise, hit the track or pavement. You'll see results in days, guaranteed.

There's some instant oats that are like, 160 calories, 7g protein, 4g fiber, 29g carbs for only 1g of sugar. I dunno if that's a lot for some people, but it looks awesome to me.

ahhh oh man. HIIT 6 days a week? erms lol i do weights like 4 days and HIIT like 3 max, and even then I dont do it for more than 20. BUt i do it intense mwahahha.
n yaa. janes post helped me a LOT. veryy good. thanks so much guys.

and okay i posted one pic, only one i cud find in my inbox n i know u cant really tell me shape behind an adidas tshirt lol but i dont wanna do any bikini pics or w.e lol

the whole 20-25 thing wasnt even my idea.. it was my consultant at the gym. she said i would look my best around that weight with 8 lbs of muscle so together 135-25= 115
+ 8 lbs of fat would be around 123. Thats a decent goal right.

i'd say do HIIT 3 days a week, and long distance once. like 30-40 minutes just walking on a treadmill, or an elliptical. making a good diet for yourself is key though, just make sure you have that down as your #1 priority

x 2 but i know we all have our own issues of self image.... but good luck seems like you got some great advice out of jane and jon. I would say though that fruits are okay in the morning but i dont know if it would be ideal for a lady post workout.. but neways try out both ways and see what the best results are for you.
