But, after building all the muscle, the fat is still there. I am 25% body fat, and I would like to be down to maybe 18% or 15%. Still, I feel like a big pile of fat and muscle and I don't know what else to do. I want to look sexy and fit!
I live across the street from a free gym and I have been going 3 days a week for about 40 minutes each time and I have only lost 3 pounds total. I feel I am going to gain it all back with anything I eat. I don't have really good eating habits either 
Anyone got any good ideas, because at this point, anything seems food right now. |
I agree with everything 5kg and Stikfigure said.
I can remember how lazy I was at your age I certainly didn't make it to the gym 3 times a week, thats great!
With regards to your diet, don't try to cut back on anything or count cals.
Get eatting some lean protein, you can eat as much cottage cheese and lean chicken and fish as you want, it will help fill you up and help you build muscle and burn fat.
