If you diet wasn't awfully wrong, then just nip back a bit on all your normal portion sizes... I couldn't keep it up unfortunately, but I found a morning run along with a 5 day weights/cardio program lost me 10 pounds in a about 4 weeks. I stopped the morning jog and went back to just the gym at 4pm and put on the 10 pounds again. I'm going to do it again when the sunshine hits the uk again! So that's my idea- morning run from 3 times a week up. I think it boosts your days metabolism somehow.

There is no "target" exercise you can do. Train your entire body, diet intelligently, and you will see results. Do not neglect weight training. This will strengthen and tone your body. Build lean tissue which in turn in itself burns fat. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com

I recommend you take a look at the Eating Disorder forum here on FT as there are several threads with similar questions. There's some good advice there already posted and you can also ask about anything you need help with. -------------- Mike in Pensacola Now.

I want to be one of the girls that can wear a two-peice swimsuit and stylish clothes; not tent shirts to hide my lovehandles. Thanks
