i worked as a trainer for a while...i would trust him if you have seen other clients of his that have good results.  since you are overweight,  you will naturally burn more calories during cardio sessions than people who are not.  so...step up the cardio,  do weights a couple times a week..i am sure you are already doing this with your trainer.  i once knew a woman who was in an aerobics class with us..and all she did was walk in place for the class.  she was quite overweight...but at the end of a 6 week period, after working out religiously,  she had dropped 8 % of her total body fat percentage...and we were all like NO WAY....so...persistance pays off,  surround yourself with positive images...people who inspire you..clip their picture and put it on your wall, on your mirror,  wherever...stay real..keep your chin up...and let us know how you are doing!  good luck to you!

If your into to keeping diaries and track of your food intake, it is a great program. I think the charges to join and continue going to the meetings is too high though. I joined and when I got my diary, points book, weight on their scale, I never went back. I don't need any support - some people do. I lost over 20 pounds and have kept if off. I still have all  my supplies so if I gain a few pounds over the holidays, i can go back to counting points. Of course, when you reach your goal, you cannot go back to your old eating habits. You have to eat the types of food and portions of food you did when following the diet.  Good luck - will power is the way to lose weight with or w/o weight watchers.

I've been having this one for years now. I exercise on it every day while watching my favorite show, for about 10 minutes. \n\nWhen I first got the trainer, I exercised more, for about 20-30 minutes a day, and at first I didn't experience any weight loss, but my muscles began to form, my bum felt firmer and my arms lost the flappines. Since muscless are a heavier tissue than fat, this is normal, but after one month you start to loose fat too, and than the weight loss starts.\n\nJust be persistant, exercise every day and diet too, and you'll reach your weight goal. Check out Comonsense diet tips on the sources I provided, if you seek diet and exercise advice.\n\nNow I use the trainer for maintenance only, so 10 minutes per day suffice.

I have them and swear by them.  It's a real workout.  You will be amazed at the muscles you use.  And hubby will be amazed by the moves you learn.  They start out very, very basic and not so sexy, then work their way up, but the beginning is important so you can get used to the proper way to do it.  Go for it, you'll be glad you did!

Weight Watchers have been around forever.....i joined for about 3 months for the first time after i had my first baby.  I joined because I couldn't lose the baby fat, I  just could not loose the last 15 or so pounds and stuck at around 125 - 127 pounds.  I just  wanted to get back to my regular 112 - 115 pound range.  It took me less than 2 months to lose at least 10 pounds!\n\nI loved weight watchers!  I was amazed at how much you could eat and still lose weight.  Plus it gets you back on track to eating healthy foods and making healthier choices, and you are in total control of what you eat, just so long as you keep it within your points range which is very easy to do.....you still lose weight!\n\nAnother added bonus of weight watchers is that you can carry over points that you don't use.....so you can save for a special outing/occasion.\n\nThe meetings are very informative as well, with lots of hints and recipes that are shared, among the other members or if you just need  a bust of encouragement!\n\nEvery week you weigh in and are given more food choices and new recipes! its really great!!  you really look forward to each week, it is that encouraging!\n\nWell hope this helps, take care...\n\nWish you and your baby all the very best!

Worked out for about 80 minutes 4 or more times per week and joined Weight Watchers.  Having to weigh in and knowing I had all those other members pulling for me, weight that had been clinging to me for 6 months finally started coming off.  It's so mental.  Also, do not use diet pills, but I highly recommend reading and interacting with the website www.fheit.com.  Especially good is the inches and pounds tracker. Keeps you accountable!

I'm assuming that you're a member of a gym. They may well have someone there who will help you set up a programme depending on what your goals are.

I would try the weight watchers point system instead- it worked for me and for at least 5 other people immediately close to me... its so much easier than counting calories too

No, I don't think you're weird.  Probably just a phase you'll grow out of soon.  You might take this opportunity to join in the work outs though.  Exercising with him; having him show you proper techniques will be good for you in the long run.

well what i did, when i first joind the gym, is i asked the front desk if they could help me out with what to do in the g ym, and considering your a female, i would ask a male to help you out, or something else you could do is ask one of the guys in the area where they ift weights and stuff, and that can also help make a good relationship. ps dont ask one of those guys that are a muccle head, their mean, ps im 14lol im also a male. lol use the advice, it sould work, also you can ask just any random guy for help with the machines.

You're going about this the wrong way.  Everyone is different -- the workout for one person may be entirely the wrong approach for another.  If you want the best results for your efforts, schedule a few sessions with a personal trainer and consult with a dietician.  Many gyms offer these services for free for new members, or at a nominal cost for regular members.  \n\nAlso, don't look up to movie stars like Tom Cruise as a role model for physical fitness.  Too many people are ruining their psyche trying to look like movie stars who have a) hordes of cash to spend on full-time trainers, b) someone to cook their special meals, and c) workouts that are part of their JOB.  For the rest of us, it's the real world.

I have a friend that got me to join a gym.  He never has mentioned that I should lose weight but tells me how proud he is that I am working out.  We go for walks, add More dancing, and shopping, just find things that keep you moving.  Let her tell you how much she has lost never ask or don't make her losing weight your top priority it has to b hers.  Just be PROUD of what she has done. Encourage her that she looks great even if you don't see much of a change. Encourage with compliments

In my opinion it would really depend on the person dieting. Weight Watchers allows you to eat almost anything just within reason, and you have to count points. It's not a diet that will cause you to lose weight extremely fast, however it will cause you to keep the weight off that you do lose, unlike Adkins. This diet you can lose a lot of weight really fast but most people (not all) gain it back just a quick and then some, because sooner or later you'll want those carbs back.
