The problem is I do not want to look like a guy. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. ---------------------------- Deb

Alot can happen in 90 days but it cannot turn you into superwoman. Diet and excercise will do it. -------------- The trouble with jogging is that, by the time you realize you are not in shape for it, it is too far to walk back! Franklin P. Jones Ivan Montreal Canada

Please fill in your profile, let FT set you up with a great program. Then any questions you may have or alterations you may feel needed feel free to post and one of us will be glad to help you very quickly.

One cannot spot reduce so an overall resistance training program with good nutrition will give you the strength and fat loss you are looking for. The reason the fat (that last bit) won't come off is because it's been there the longest and now you really have to speed up that metabolic rate. Put in your co-ordinates for an excersize program from this sight and start it. Also combine it with cardio. Those 2 will speed up your metabolism, build lean muscle tissue, and will replace the fatty tissue. Eat a good diet high in protien, good carbs, and fats. The upper body will come and the lower body will get better. Hope this helps, and I'm sure you will get more responses on this. Good Luck. -------------- The trouble with jogging is that, by the time you realize you are not in shape for it, it is too far to walk back! Franklin P. Jones Ivan Montreal Canada
