Gaining lean muscle, lose fat- how?

[RosieLig]

Hi,

Hopefully someone can help me. I'm fairly slim at 9.5 stone and 5 foot 6. A size 8/10 with fairly big build. My body fat is around 25%

Over the last few months, I've done quite a lot of exercise. Body pump 2/3 times a week (lifting as heavy as I can without losing form eg 20kg on squats), boxercise and Gillian Michaels DVDs. So most days.

Despite this I feel I've not seem much improvement in my physique. Still a wobbly tummy and arms.

I do eat a bit of chocolate in the evenings and a couple of glasses of wine. I've decided to cut them out for now but I'm a big annoyed about it! The rest of my diet is good.

I just feel like I put in a lot of effort for little results. Can anyone help?

Thanks!

Under 15%! That's seriously impressive. Are you training for anything in particular?

Yes I would like to be good enough to get on that stage in bikini fitness competitions some time soon. I just need more muscle gains now which are increasing weekly. I did my first photo shoot today

Wow Littlepumkinpie good on you. Good luck with your competition.
