In addition to a good exercise routine, you need to get your diet in check in order to be shredded. You can't out-exercise a bad diet.

You can't out-exercise a bad diet.

I've tried my best this year to do just that. Hasn't worked too well for me, but I continue to try.

I call it perserverance

I know for me sometimes I go through the motions without really pushing myself. As long as I'm pushing, I enjoy results.
Keep a workout journal. Like a food journal, it keeps you honest.

Takes way longer than that, Just keep giving it your all and you'll get there!

I appreciate this post more than you can imagine.

I know for myself, I need to clean up the eating and push harder in the gym. That's the only thing I can do better. And not quit. EVER.

Its easy to get fairly cut in 6 months.. but from the get go you'll barely have muscle to show so it doesn't really look that impressive.

so my diet is pretty all over the place,i have a sweet tooth and love carbs,iv been on 2000 calories a day because im breastfeeding so apparently you consume an extra 300 but weight loss has been to slow so iv lowered it to 1800,not sure how to unlock my good diary

alanahbastion

i want no fat but want to look strong and have lean muscle so i dont look to thin but its such a fricking process of trial and error

and i have 2 kids and carry them both,and my shopping,i lift a fare amount at the gym no pink weights

What sort of exercises are you doing? Are you squatting/dead lifting?
Are you constantly upping your weight once a set stops being challenging?

alanahbastion

The breastfeeding might be what is slowing you down. For some women, it helps just melt the weight right off...for women like me, not so much. At least for my second and third babies, I seemed to cling to the last 10lbs or so of my pregnancy weight for several years!

It's a long and slow process. I wish it happened over night.

i thought I'd be jacked after like 3 months or so. (thank you fitness magazines)

2 years later, I realize I'll spend the rest of my life chasing goals.

Yup.

Results do come, but they take a helluva lot of time and effort.

Jeneba

I wonder if you are logging your results..... When I go to the gym, I keep a record of number of sets, weight used, number of reps. I keep challenging myself to do more EVERY SINGLE time! So - no, I am not Ripped - but I am stronger and stronger every day and I look pretty buff. But to be RIPPED, your % body fat has to be fairly low and this isn't realistic for most women.

then you need to take closer look at your nutrition, your macros. It is 70% nutrition, 30% workouts what makes your body.
