Go to a health club nearby and find a fitness coach. You may not even need to enroll if you take lessons privately.

In spite of the ads a person cannot only eliminate fat from their belly, it just doesn't work that way. An over all conditioning routine is what is needed and that really requires a trainer or at least a partner for accountability.

Aerobic activity three times a week for twenty minutes at an advanced heart rate of 3/4 of your maximum level. Any lifting should be far from the maximum for you weight class but done for repetition not max weight.

an email relationship will not do, since you really need someone to stand right beside you and encourage you as you go. (or push you whichever is required)

Brutal honesty is also a good thing when it comes to things like this and an email relationship cannot be a substitute.

Good luck.

I lost 65 lbs by biking to lose weight. Biking exercise is the best way to lose weight, but getting a nice bike can cost some money. Look at my past threads - I've posted on how I lost weight and went from a size 16 to 6. But I can fit some size 2 & 4 stuff too !

Erica-- Me to-- I can stand to lose at least 40 lbs--- but after trying the e-mail thing and even nutrisystems--- I sincerley believe Celeste is 100% correct--- That is my next step-- I need someone or something to give me that push and also to match up my abilitys with my diet--- Only thing I got from those other diets was portion control--- and lots of bulk like veggies and salads-8 glasses of water per day. I quit smoking a year ago today Jan 8th 05 and have gained 2 to 3 lbs a month since-- My Dr say's that I now subsitute food for tobacco. He ! HE !-- I have been putting bra extenders on my favorite bras - some of my lingeria is to small-- so darned if you do and darned if you don't-- Lots of luck Janice Ann
