NOW:
My weight is 64 Kgs
Age-18 yrs
Height-5'6"
Waist 34 inches.

I am doing workout 6 days per week in a gym here. When I'd joined the gym, my aim was to make my abs and chest firm. As due to fats, they both are cming outside and looks very bad. Then my weight was approx 75 + kgs. I lost a weight mass around 11 kgs, but in very long period of approximately a year, it will be a year since i joined the gym in a 2 months. I'd tried fat burners available here, they helped me a lot, as the major portion of my weight loss was bcoz of their use.

I want to be a professional body builder, as like you are . But my major prob is when I build some muscles they disappear bcoz of fats. I need youe help. Please suggest me to loose my abs and the fats from chest which make my nipples sharp and appear very worst. Bcoz of my physique I am very stressed. Please help me sir. I'll really really thankful to you. PLEASE PLEASE.... Waiting for your response.
Thank you. Yours Sincerely
Aman

SO, FIRST THINGS FIRST STOP STRESSING YOURSELF OUT THAT MAKES YOU HOLD WATER. GET YOURSELF BACK IN THE GYM AND START HITTING THE TREADMILL 3-4 TIMES AWEEK, 30-40MINS OF WALKING(USE YOUR FAT BURNERS IF THEY HELP) TO BURN OFF THAT FAT THE MORE YOU DO THE CARDIO THE FASTER YOUR MATABOLISIM BECOMES OVER TIME IN ORDER TO HELP BURN AWAY FATS.HEY, THIS MIGHT SOUND GIRLISH BUT TRY SOME AREOBICS CLASSES WITH THE GIRLS-I DO AND IT HAS HELPED ME.

ALSO,REVALUATE YOUR DIET THROW OUT THE CRAP THAT YOU KNOW IS NOT GOOD FOR YOU AND START EATTING THE GOOD FOODS LIKE A GOOD LITTLE BB SHOULD.WATCH YOUR FAT INTAKE AND SODIUMS,DRINK PLENTY OF WATER AND WATCH WHAT YOUR ARE EATTING LATE AT NIGHT.START ATTACKING THE WEIGHTS AGAIN, PUT IN MIND THAT YOU HAVE A SHOW TO DO AND YOU HAVE TO GET READY.YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO "JUST DO IT" READ THE MUSCLE MAGAZINES LOOK AT PICTURES AND ASK QUESTIONS TO PEOPLE WHO ARE GETTING THE RESULTS.DON'T WORRY YOU HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TRY DIFFERENT DIETS AND EXERCISE TECHNIQUES AND SEE WHAT WORKS FOR YOU,YOU'LL GET THERE. REMEMBER PATIENCE. GOOD LUCK NOW.
