Well dont just start lifting heavy weights. You could injure yourself. You should start out slow with a strength program and work your way up. Building muscle burns more fat.0

At one time in my life I was what they call Skinny/Fat. I am 5'8 weighed around 132 pounds and was a size 0. I could eat whatever I wanted. When I had a body fat test done, I thought I was in great shape, until the BF came back at 36%. Yikes! The next question was, what are you eating? I was eating whatever I wanted. Hey, I was a size 0. After conversation with a trainer about nutrition and what I put into my body and about being skinny fat, I cleaned up my diet in a hurry. The white of my eyes becae whiter, my skin started glowing and I appearance improved. I dropped down to 21% fat. Since then, I gained alot of weight. I was up to 186 pounds from having an accident and stress eating. Currently, I am down to 143.6. But, I am doing it right this time. I am eating clean. No junk, sugars, white flours, little dairy, bread, rolls, yummy stuff. I had an accident in April 2006 and lost a good amount of muscle tone from being in a wheel chair for 7 1/2 monthFinally, I am building muscle and greatly reducing Body Fat. I started training in Sept. at 32.5 percent fat. 146.8 pounds Almost 2 months ago I was 26.2 % fat, 146 pounds I hope to have a fat check in 2 more weeks. So, the weight is coming off very slowly but the Body FAt is dropping because of clean eating. I am actually starting to see some muscle tone under this skin. My goal is to get under 20 percent Body Fat and never be skinny Fat again.0
