5th week fears-- Help!?!?

[Guest guest]

Hi.

I need some major help. I'm an athlete- naturally very strong and

bulky around the thighs/butt. I've always hated my legs and have

tried thousands of diets and workout routines that haven't amounted

to much. Soon I decided the only way to lose the legs was to work

out hard, and stop eating. Yes, I have a history of eating very

little (if anything at all), and then extending my workout for hours

if I feel I've eaten too much that day. I gained nearly 15 pounds in

that routine and decided it was time for a change.

I've been doing BFL for five weeks now- going into my 6th... and I

haven't seen ANY (or very little) change in the scale, or in my legs.

I can see and feel changes in my body otherwise-- for instance, I

have a lot more energy, I don't have cravings or feel hungry during

the day, my arms are more defined, i've lost an inch here and there,

but physically, I don't see any big changes happening. Does anyone

have suggestions as to what I may be doing wrong?

My meal plans look (generally) like this

9am- 1portion cottage cheese with pineapple

11am - 1portion cottage cheese, piece of fruit

1pm - BFL chili, piece of fruit OR grilled chicken breast salad

4pm - Shake or Myoplex bar

7pm - Grilled chicken breast salad, or Tuna sandwich, or BFL soup

10pm - Shake

Workouts:

Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday 8am - 20 min aerobics solution

Monday, Wednesday, Friday 7pm - weight training (alternating UB/LB)

I've been following the workouts, increasing weight every week, and

increasing speed on the treadmill-- and I can lift more now than I've

been able to since high school. So I can definately feel changes- I

just don't see any. My clothes fit better, but I haven't gone down

any sizes.

Part of me thinks I'm eating way too much, and should think about

cutting carbs.

Another part of me wonders if I'm not eating enough and slowing the

process.

....help?
