    Hello! I am female about 5'6" 146 lbs and I think 23-25% bf. I have had good comments about my upper body but still have a problem with losing fat around my waistline. In the last 2 mo I have started to get serious about diet and weights. I'm not sure if I'm on the right track though or even if I know what I'm doing yet. Could use some advise. There are days that I can't always get to the gym, with young children and all, but I usually get there 4 times per week and this is the workout and diet I follow:

    8a 3 eggs (2 whites and 1 whole egg), 1/3c oatmeal with
    a little skim milk or wheat toast, 1 cup of coffee with
    1tsp of unrefined sugar and a little half-n-half (I'm
    halving a hard time giving this up)
    9:30a step aerobics 45min or cardio machine 30min
    10:45a weights
    11:30a protien shake w skim milk (20gr of protein total),
    1tbls flax seed and 1tsp creatine mixed in

    1p lean meat, sw potato or brown rice (is wheat
    pasta ok here?), veggies
    4p same as 11:30 meal except no creatine (I am always
    still hungry here)
    6:30p same as 1p meal or sometimes stir fry(chicken with
    veggies fried in a little olive oil, small portion of soba
    (buckwheat) noodles

    weight workout (10 reps)

    day1- 3 sets squats, 3sets leg press or lunges, 3 sets extentions
    day2- 3sets ea. of 2 different lat rowing exercises, 3sets ea. of 2
    different lat movements
    day3- 3sets chest incline press, 3sets flat press, 3sets ea of 2
    different pec exercises
    day4- 3sets ea of 3 different bicep exercises, same for triceps
    day5- 3sets of SLDL, 3sets hamstring curls (lying down),
    shoulders: 3sets side raises, 3sets press, 3sets bent
    over raises


    Also I was wondering if I miss a day or two of my workout should I cut down on my protein intake? I don't want to put on fat.

    consistancy is key... get your diet down pat and keep it that way and the changes will come.

    drop sugar and use equal... ditch the skim milk, its still filled with sugar. carnation makes a creamer witn only 10 cals per serving.. and little carbs or fat.

    muscles grow on the days your not lifting, so keep the protine in to feed the muscles.
