Ladies! Did you lose weight faster when you added weight training? -

I ve been struggling many years to get rid of this last 20 pounds. I lost about 80 lbs doing cardio everyday...and then a combination of settling with what I had achieved mixed with a serious plateau occurred. It s lasted a few years now!! I continue cardio...but the past few weeks I ve added about 2 nights of 40 minute toning workouts. Lunges, squats, etc...should I expect to see a difference soon? What do you think? I need encouragement I guess, hahaha...

Weight training is excellent for women. (it even prevents osteoporosis) Just remember......muscle weighs more than fat, but takes up less space. I don t measure my fitness progress by weighing myself. I pay attention to how my clothes fit and how I look in the mirror.If you need some hard numbers to measure your progress use a tape measure.Also, since weight training builds muscle, it also increases the metabolism. ALL women should get some resistance training into their routine. (I like to think of it as body shaping because toning your muscles through weight training can literally reshape your body)-

yesA good way to loose weight is to use a calorie counter watchKeep to a 1,200 food intakeAdd 1,200 plus 3,500 (equals one pound of fat) ...and that is the total amount of calories you need to burn each day. Its actually really easy once you start watching the numbers and it doesn t seem like work or exercise. Its just a matter of changing the way you think about loosing weight.I use this method when i gain some pounds. The first time I did this I went from 168 to 127

cardio will get rid of the fat its the best! 20 mins 5 days a week is fine, some weight training is good but it increases your muscle mass therefore when you look on the scales there may be an increase in your weight. You need a light weight training program for a toned look, (but not too much, think madonna arms eeek) at this tage I would consult a gym instructor as your body has changed and is ready for a totally new routine. Go for it I admire your commitment!

One thing that will help you lose weight: diet pills. I was one of those who did not believe in them until I tried it. And I tried a few. The best product I found on the market is made with pure hoodia and it works great! You can go to http://www.justlonline.info and order you free trial, also you only pay 6.95$ shipping and handling. Good luck!
