right way to lose

emcur Posts: 3 Joined: 2003/05/27	2003/05/27, 06:12 PM i am 126 pounds, 5'5 and have 26% body fat. i can lose weight easily by eating less but feel too weak to get in a good workout. i've been down to 104 lbs but i lose a lot of muscle along with the fat and always end up gaining it back because I'm tired of feeling sluggish. i want to get rid of the fat tho, b/c i've worked my thighs and butt HARD and want it to show! any advice?

You'll loose weight and not feel tired. Good luck! -------------- - Nina :o) Les Victoires éternelles sont celles du coeur.

Unfortunately a 40 minute workout a day is all I can fit in. When I lift more weight I tend to gain more weight and then I tend to eat more also because I am hungrier.

That made me so much hungrier than normal. I know swimming can burn a lot of calories, but I have a feeling I ended up eating more than I burned :p Nina, what kind of fat burner would you suggest? I've never taken one and would like to try, just for a little bit. However, I'm feeling really uneasy about ephedra. -Krb

Everybody is different and those "magic" pills work differently for each person. With or without ephedrine, the only thing I can say is that you have to try yourself. I personally got one called Thermonol (from GEN) that I use once in a while. I never take the written doses (two pills twice a day) but only one (and I jump like a rabbit all day long). Works for me......... -------------- - Nina :o) Les Victoires éternelles sont celles du coeur.
