this question is regarding weight loss.
i used to have a great metabolism, and a great body. i could eat what i wanted, and just go jogging a couple of times a week. after i had my son two years ago, my metabolism changed but i didn't think that it would. for awhile after, i kept eating the way that i did before i got pregnant. especially since processed foods were so much cheaper at the grocery store.
however, i gained weight and i hated the way i looked. so in may 2010, i started the program p90x, and dieting.
i quite literally eat NO junk food, at all. the closest thing i have to junk food is smart pop; which i honestly don't consider that bad of a snack because it's 2g of fat, 40% of your daily fibre, potassium rather than salt, a good amount of protein, and 100 calories per serving. i also do not eat it everyday.
other than that, my breakfast consists of half a bowl of special k fat free cereal and a bio best yogurt or an all fruit smoothie with bio best yogurt in it.
my lunch is either chili (entirely homemade with LOTS of veggies and lean ground chicken rather than beef) or a mixed greens salad with lean chicken and veggies in it.
in between meals (because i like to eat 5-6 small meals rather than 3 big ones) i'll have nuts, fruit, or veggies.
for dinner, it's almost always something homemade and if it's not, it's MOSTLY homemade. i use only whole grain rice and pastas, skinless boneless chicken, and things along those lines. i also make a lot of homemade soup. i don't use precooked or prepackaged foods.
i don't eat fast food, and i don't have a "cheat day" which doesn't bother me at all. even at family get togethers i will bring my own chicken to bbq and im not at all tempted to eat burgers or sweets.
however, in light of all this; im not losing weight. perhaps a little, but im still considered overweight. i have a tiny waist, and big thighs and calves, which looks so disproportional. i also have a lot of arm fat to lose. yet i work out with my p90x videos EVERY DAY, i never miss one. and i do the whole hour, i don't stop in the middle. i've been working my butt off, and eating NOTHING bad.
i don't understand what im doing wrong, and why im not seeing the results i want to. i've gained muscle in some places, and like i said my waist is good now.. but there's still so much fat i need to get rid of, and can't seem to.
PLEASE help me figure out what i'm doing wrong. i need some tips, or perhaps someone can see something i'm doing wrong that i don't see. i'm desperate to get my body back, and if not that then at least get back to a normal weight. thank you so much for any help and advice.
