I am in desperate need of some weightloss advice... I am 5'2 and weigh aprx 130 pounds. I would like to lose 30 pounds..
I work out aprx. 5-6 days a week cardiovascular only, running, stairclimber, cycle, ... In the past I have strength trained but only seemed to have a bulky result mainly due to my height.
I am currently taking clenbuterol on a 2wk on 2wk off cycle. I am only on my second week, but haven't reallly noticed any results.
I would have to say my diet is fairly clean... lots of salads .. grilled chicken and homemade salsa, unbleached raw almonds, salmon, and at least one serving a fruit a day. and Only water to drink. Yet my weight will not budge?? should I just give up exercising alltogether?? I know they say muscle weighs more than fat but... if you have a massive layer of fat covering those muscles, what's the point???!!
I want to start stacking anavar with my clen to lean myself out. ? Is this a wise choice? On the off days (from taking clen), I am taking hoodia; an appetite suppressant, and yohimbe as fat burning supplement when I'm not on the clen..
If anyone has any advice.. I'd appreciate your comments.. Thanks
How long are your cardio sessions and what mg of clen are you on? at 5'2 i think you'd look fine at 115 even 120. set a smaller goal for yourself. Drop like 5 lbs then go for more. 5 to 6 small meals daily, lots of water
cardio i try to keep at 5 miles a day.. either running/jogging, or a combination of stairclimbing, cycling...
the clen I'm working my way through.. now running 2 pills/2 days 1 week off 1 week on... a day.. 20mg.. probably not enough?? any thoughts on the anavar?
Please post a pic so that we can get a better idea of what you are working with.
IMO, drugs arent your solution. Sure, they may help a little bit, but unless you have the underlying training and nutrition down, they arent going to aid your progress substantially.
Do you keep a food journal? Where you write down exactly what you eat every day, day in and day out? If not, you need to. If you are really serious about losing fat then you will have to be pretty specific and accurate with your food diary. I keep track of time of meal, the food, quantity (weighing if necessary), and how many grams of protein, carbs and fat in the meal. You can use something like Excel or fitday.com to track all this for you.
For calorie intake, I would suggest starting off at about 1300-1400 per day. Thats about 10-11x your bodyweight. You will probably have to go down a little lower than that, but Id rather you start off a little higher and work your way down over time. See how you respond to that particular calorie level and adjust as necessary. Also, be aware that almonds and salmon are going to be high calorie foods.
For your exercise, doing long, slow cardio isnt going to produce the fastest results for you. Intervals are the way to go. For example: slow jog/fast walk for 40 seconds, sprint for 20. Repeat 6-10 times. I prefer that people dont do it running, as it puts a tremendous amount of stress on your ankles, knees and lower back. An elliptical machine or stationary bike are good choices. 3x/wk of these will be better than the 5-6 days of your current running plan.
Unless you are a genetic freak, which I highly doubt it, then adding in some weightlifting isnt going to turn you into a musclebound Ms. Universe. 2-3 fullbody workouts per week would be a great start for you.
this is a pic of me in the green bikini at aprx 130 pounds.. i have also included a pic of what I want my body to look like although my goal weight is 100 pounds. (she claims a weight of 91 pounds)

If that chick is 91 pounds, then she is probably 4'9-5'0. My wife is 5'3, 98 pounds and has abs as good as that chick.
If you are 130 in that pic, then I think its reasonable to say that you could probably get down to 120 and be in the kind of shape that the other chick is in. For 130, it looks like you are carrying a good amount of muscle and probably are around the 20-22% mark. Dropping 10-15 pounds of fat would bring you down close to 14-15% and be in awesome shape. You'd be killer in the 14-17% range!
IMO, your goal should be a certain level of leanness and not a number on the scale. The scale is meaningless. Based on your current level and your goal look, then I stick by my recommendations from earlier. If you need more specifics, just let me know. All I charge is some pictures in my email.
