Alright I am getting married in June and need to lose about 25 lbs quick. I go to the gym about 4-5 days a week and am just not seeing the results that I would like and plus I am not seeing the lbs off the scale. All advice will be appreciated from stacks, anabolics to specific workouts. Let me know what you got.
Sorry pretty new with all this...
...I am assuming if you are trying to lose weight this is the correct place to post on the sites? I dont want to use DNP and like I said on the anabolics page i have lost 25 lbs in the last 2 months but i have plateaued and cant seem to keep it going...
First, do NOT focus on the SCALE WEIGHT - it is IRrlevant. What IS important is your BODY COMPOSITION, so concentrate on that - find out what it is and then set a target body composition and aim for THAT.
Second, since you're new to this, I recommend downloading and reviewing
The 3 Keys to Fat Loss - it contains comprehensive advice and information on nutrition, supplementation (only the basics required - and since you are a newbie, all you should be using), and training for effective and successful fat loss. Follow the principles outlined in that article and you should see progress. There are more articles on fat loss
here, and more links down the right-hand side re nutrition and training under "Rosie's Must Reads"
here.
You mention that you have been training for two months and have now plateaued - if you are a newbie, you are going to see rapid progress because your body is "new" to everything, but that will slow as it becomes accustomed to it. If you plateau, look FIRST at your NUTRITION, and then at your training, adjusting and fixing them before looking at anything else.
Ignore the DNP suggestion - that was completely irresponsible and uncalled for. If you're a newbie, then stick to the basic staples (creatine, multivitamin, good fats, protein, and BCAAs) - NUTRITION AND TRAINING are what are going to get your results!
Going about things "fast" is not the way to do it either, since fast usually means not maintainable if you get to where you want that way, and usually is done in an unhealthy manner, everything rebounding back plus some afterwards when you return to "normal." You need to make your nutrition AND training a LIFESTYLE - adjusting it according to your goals and needs at any particular time.
I highly recommend that if you have not already, get yourself a trainer who can and will design you a nutrition plan and training programme specific to YOU, your goals and needs.
