wanna start slimming down, with weights and cardio mix. how long should i...

[masterskier25]

...see SOME results? last june i took a stand to myself and started to loose weight, to this day im 45 pounds lighter, ( i started at 217, now 172) until january i felt more confident, i went down to a 34 pant size, and now normally wear a L size shirt, when i used to wear XL normally.

basically i just been watching my calorie intake, balance my nutrition out, and cut bad eating habits, then i do interval cardio for 40 minutes every other day on the treadmill. cardio i think was the main reason for my weight loss, i have SOME weights here and there but not much, and i kno all bout wut weights does, by slimming u down wit higher metabolism, etc

but since january, i still continue to loose weight numbers wise, but it seems like im gaining some fat bak, so i want to start weight training on a regular basis. in order to burn pure fat. i kno i will gain weight but loose fat, if i keep up wut i've been doin plus a steady weight plan, how long can i expect to see some decent results. my ultimate goal is size M

Wow congratulations on the 45 pound loss! That's really amazing actually.

Depending on your caloric intake and how intense your workouts are, and genetics, and sex, you should start seeing results within 2 weeks. Results will "happen" a week from now but you won't really be able to notice until it builds up.

If you want to "bulk up" (if you're a woman this won't happen, your body will just become more shapely), use the heavy weights with lower weights but make sure you gradually add up the weights. If you want to tone your muscles and get more of a cardio workout from weight training, keep the repititions high with lower weights, like 8 or 5 pounds.

Keep the eating clean and the workouts consistent and you WILL see results.
