    I thought the whole point of the Internet was that you don't need to live in the same area to communicate. Or have I missed something here?

    hello, just checked your diary for a few days and just by that i am seeing that you are eating less protein, if you can put your stats maybe people can recommend a good macronutrient split you can follow, 40-40-20 is a good start but you have to really know your TDEE and this is a moving target, for example a male 170 lbs and wants to lose 20 lbs of bodyfat he's intake would be

    170 lbs x 14 calories = 2380 calories per day intake of which
    40 percent goes to protein = 952 calories / 4 calories = 238 grams per day
    40 percent goes to carbs = 952 calories/ 4 = 238 grams per day
    20 percent goes to fats = 476 calories / 9 = 53 grams per day

    initially you would want to exercise 3 days per week full body workout focusing on proper form and tempo progressing each week. RECORD weight used, repitition, rest periods and progress as your strenght improves

    i probably would start of a 2 cardio sessions in between so if you are working out mon- wed - fri, cardio tues- thurs. for about 15-20 mins. HIIT including warm-up and cooldown choose an equiptment of your choice elliptical, bike, rowing machine, etc. 5 mins warm-up 30 sec. HIIT, rest, repeat, 5 mins. cooldown

    needless to say proper recovery is crucial as well as eating nutritious foods, 8 hours sleep is a good starting point.

    lastly understand that this is a journey and not a race which means for the next 6 months, focus on logging your food intake as close as possible to how you planned it, focus on doing your exercise consistently and the rest will fall into place, most people in their quest for fatloss doesnt have patience.... IT IS CRUCIAL for you to GIVE YOURSELF TIME.... if you have 20lbs to lose, you might want to give yourself 20 weeks to do that, slow dieting is the key.... GOODLUCK

    Hampshire, Uk here. So, not your area, but rather Southwest.
    Feel free to add me, anyone who wishes to, bearing in mind I am not really aiming to lose much weight, am more focused on my fitness(love muscle definition), used to have an ED, still struggle with some ED thinking on occasion but am mostly recovered.
