I haven't lost a single pound But, I did just do some measurements and I've lost 2.75" on my waist, an inch on my thighs, 1.5" on my butt and an inch on my arms! It would just be nice to see the scale move a bit -------------------- The Administrators of the Parenting Club take violators of the Terms of Service Agreement seriously.

Inches are better then lbs

Keep up the great work

kids keep you young! Group: Moderators Posts: 6,895 Member No.: 223 Joined: 22-July 03	Congratulations!! Give it more time for the scale to go down. I was just as disappointed in the lack of weight loss after six weeks of a similar routine at the Y. Now after six months, it's really happening. Amy, do you do about 20 minutes of weight-bearing cardio (like running on the treadmill) and then move to 30 minutes of weight-training on the equipment? When I switched to a routine that included weight training, I saw more obvious results more quickly. Just doing cardio only took me so far. -------------------- Tracy, George and Daniel (11/25/02)

Yes weight training will burn the fat faster.......

I really do notice a difference, just can't get the weight to go anywhere. Of course, I haven't changed my eating habits AT ALL, so that may be a contributing factor -------------------- The Administrators of the Parenting Club take violators of the Terms of Service Agreement seriously.
