With such a topic so broad we truly try to cover the basics from all angles in this group. Nothing too big or too small. Nutrition is as significant if not more as exercise is to reaching your goals so learn all you can.

The exercise, approximately 5 days a week....the diet constantly...I am not firming up, nor am I loosing weight. In fact, I'm still flabby and I've gained 8 pounds. This cannot be normal. I didn't expect to look like a goddess in 10 days :) But I did expect to see some weight loss and some firmer body parts, not the opposite when I'm working my butt off and doing everyting I'm told. Any ideas? ---------------------------- Semper Fidelis, Christina

Since you are excersising you built muscle. It will eventually burn fat. Don't rush and you will see results. -------------- Nothing is too small to know, and nothing is too big to attempt!

It may seem that you did gain weight in some parts, but you gotta give it time. Trust me, I know. It took me such a long time, but the results at the end are so worth it. Buy a tape measure and measure the different parts of your body, also go by the way your clothes fit. -------------- Lisa
