Another thread about working out/losing weight

[tropical_fishy]

Yeah, another one.

I'm competing in the pan-american championships for jiu jitsu on april 2nd.

I need to make the weight requirement or I will be immediately disqualified.


So that means losing five pounds (I'd like to make it 10 to be safe), because apparently the gi weighs 5 lbs. Mine doesn't, but whatever, I need to lose 10 lbs. Without losing muscle mass- preferrably GAINING muscle mass.

My schedule is pretty full. I have karate for 1.5 hrs monday-thursday, a private ballet class for 2.5 hours on saturday, and next week I'm starting my workouts for lifeguarding. I know this is going to make me lose fat, but i'll gain muscle. How do I fix this?

I don't like to share this, but I have to be careful because I'm prone to eating disorders, if that changes your reply at all. Any insight would be appreciated.

5 - 10 lbs is pretty easy. Just cut out the crap. No soda, just water. Eat salad with very little dressing and some lean grilled chicken. Also, add a little cardio, jog a couple miles. Or swim, since you're gonna be lifeguarding.
