Hi! I am 27 and 5’3. I weight 163 and I would like to lose about 20-25lbs. I started exercising and attempting to eat better on Jan 25th. At most I lost two pounds since then. Not only am I trying to lose weight but I am also trying to adapt a new healthier lifestyle that I can stay consistent with. Since Jan 25th I have been going to the gym 4 times a week doing two upper body and two lower body days with dumbells only. I include 10-20 mins of cardio (stair master or treadmill) with my workouts depending on the time I have that day. My lower body days include 3 sets of 10-15 reps of RDLS, Bulgarian splits, squats, hip thrusts, goblet squats, split lunges, step ups. Upper body days - 3 sets of 8-12 reps of chest press,dumbbell rows, lateral raises, bicep curls, shoulder press and 4-5 abs workouts. On my rest days ill try to walk for 30 mins or ill go to the gym and do stairmaster for 30 mins. My diet consists of eggs toast and a fruit or homeade oatmeal and fruit fore breakfast with normally a homeade turkey sandwhich with wheat bread for lunch and for dinner ill usially have chicken rice and a veggie and water through out my day. I barely tend to snack but I do tend to overindulge on the weekends. I feel that my weight loss progress is slow for starting over a little over a month ago. I have noticed some definition on my biceps and my glutes have been a bit more noticeable. I worry that im eating too much and doing too little cardio which can be slowing down my weight loss. I try to eat 1700-1800 calories a day. I dont hard track them but I am always looking at the labels and trying to be conscious every meal as best as i can. Its quite discouraging when i see many women or men on here lose 10-15 pounds in just a month. I would appreciate some advice or improvement. Thanks for taking the time to read this!
