So weight training and cardio, but also a diet who correspond. Not extremely low in calories but high enough to give you some lean muscle mass, and keep your metabolism and fat burning active. AND of course your body needs to to recover after each training to make its changings........ -------------- - Nina :o) Les Victoires éternelles sont celles du coeur. www.nme-pro.com

I wasnt eating enough when I started working out so my body wouldnt let go of any weight for fear I would starve it. Could there be anything else going on with you? Birth control maybe? Or any meds added at about the same time you started gaining? -------------- ~Victoria~ ...Do not be discouraged; everyone who got where he is, started where he was.--anon ...There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.--Beverly Sills
