Hey everyone,
Im having a very hard time losing weight. Since last November I have been trying to really tone up for this summer, before this I spent most of my time bulk lifting, with a high protein diet and little cardio. But its not the body type I want, I was at 205, I dropped down to 195 by mid January, but since then I have been stuck around that weight with little change. I have Hypothyroidism, which causes an extremely low metabolism, but since January my Doctor gave me 88mg of Synthroid to take every morning before I eat to rebuild my metabolism, I havent missed a day at all. But still, even with increased cardio and more toning workouts I cant lose the weight I want, I would like to be around 180 to 185 by end of June or July, which would put me around 12 to 15% bodyfat. Ill include my workout schedule and my basic diet.
(Every 3 weeks or so, workouts change to add muscle confusion)
(Everyday at the end of my lifts I do 40 minutes of cardio on the Eliptical, maintaining 8 to 9 mph, heart rate above 160)

As for diet, I eat no fastfood and drink no soda. I only use wheat bread, wheat wraps, and wheat pasta. Monday through Friday, I take my medication and eat a 20gram protein bar before work at 4 a.m, after work around 9 a.m I have 1 whole egg, 2 egg whites, one strip of bacon, and a lowfat cheese (whichever i have at the time) in a wheat wrap. Then hit the gym. After the gym its normally coldcuts in a wrap or on wheat bread. Then for dinner its a range of meals, normally using grilled chicken with a side of vegetables. Daily I drink about 4 16oz bottles of water. I know its not the perfect diet, but I always assumed its healthy enough to be at that weight. Im going to increase my run to 45 minutes a day, someone tell me please if i should keep doing what im doing or if i should change anything. Thank you very much!!
