don't want to be fat anymore

wverdi Posts: 2 Joined: 2003/03/12	2003/03/12, 04:36 PM I turned 30 and decided I didn't want to be overweight any more, not only for myself, but also in order to teach my children a healthy lifestyle, so my questions are this: I do 30 min. on the treadmill early in the a.m., another 30 at night and about 30 minutes of various nautilus machines 4-5 times a week. Is this an effective schedule for weight loss? Also, my calves are large, am I stuck with them for the rest of my life or will they shrink with weight loss?

You can most likely see a inch or two come off depending on the fat to muscle ratio. As to the workout sounds good keep it going! -------------- IF YOU CAN STILL ITCH YOUR NOSE AFTER ARM DAY, GO DO ANOTHER SET!!!

To succeed you'll need a good diet as well. You are doing great so you'll get great results as well. Good luck!! -------------- - Nina :o) Les Victoires éternelles sont celles du coeur.
