    I wanna know If I'm on a good track, I do good workouts through out the week
    Started P90x2 Monday
    on top of that I go to Gym 4 times a week for at least 2 hours
    at least one hour of cardio a day.

    However I'm not sure if I'm eating too much or not enough.
    Sometimes It tells me that I should eat more so body does not go to starvation mode (that red warning)
    but what I eat through out the day gets me pretty full
    any help would be appreciated Thank you so much.(side note food wise I am on a budget recently so I try to work with what I can)

    Hi Nate, Im 47 y.o. 5'4, 168 lbs. My ideal would be about 145. But even when I was that, no matter what I did, i carried a pouch in my belly. Previously working out a year ago, wasnt paying attention to my intake, thus wasnt losing. Now I am.
    My questions are:
    1. I love elipitcal, is there any "upper body/core" cardio I can do? I am thinking Zumba but not very coordinated. Anything else?
    2. Is it true not to start strength training till some of this core fat is off?
    3. Not meeting my vitamin or calorie rec intake everyday. Can you look over my food too? (Minus the wine on valentines day that is)...

    hi, do chest press, assisted chinups, squats, and planks in a circuit training fashion, so maybe nonstop for 5 or 10 minutes. Please do both strength training and cardio for the best results, in that order also. Your diet looks good, just keep it as clean as possible.

    Really? That was the best straight forward advice I have EVER recieved. I:heart: Nate!!!!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you so much!!!!

    with so much interest in this topic, maybe a new forum category or group could be created by any trainers using MFP to help motivate & give advice? just think that would be a more organized way of tracking advice, etc and multiple trainers would help lighten the load also (nate has 300+ friends, guy is gonna be busy lol).
