I do 7 hours of cardio a week and 3 hours strength-training a week. I take dance classes (included in the 7 hours), but neither the classes nor any of my other cardio workouts are very rigorous (I mostly walk). I lift weights for strength-training as well as yoga and Pilates. I consume about 500 calories a day and 60 grams of protein. I’m 5’3, 129 lbs, and want to be 108 by the beginning of March. 129 may not seem like a lot but I feel like a lot of it is fat.
(It’s imperative you take notice of my exercise regime. Will that help me get into shape? For my dance team, I have to wear a midriff-bearing top, and I want my abs and my whole body to be toned.)
I hear you, T-Bone, but I’m not sure you understand. I HAVE to lose weight, and fast. I know my diet’s drastic, but sometimes that’s just what you have to do to get where you want. I’m so sick of my body, and I need to fit into my clothes!
Thanks, ya’ll, for your care and concern. I’m terrified of calories and gaining weight, and I’m probably borderline anorexic. I think my question should be “Will my diet work?” Because I KNOW my diet’s really unhealthy….I just put so much pressure on myself.
