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.

By the way, I'm down 41 lbs in those 8 weeks! Thanks FT! -------------- Dave ---------------------------------------- Eu procuro um amor que seja bom para mim...

From the sounds of it, you've gotten alot out of FT! Congratulations on the drop man! I agree w/ Tim, take some time off and rest/refocus. You're really the only one that can determine how long you think you need off. If it's your regular day(s) off at the end, or a whole week, you'll know if you listen to your body. Well done again on the progress! I hope I can post an improvement like that. -------------- Josh Hollers hollers2@freetrainers.com -We get out of life what we put into it.

You could try a special program for a change. The alternative would be to do a fitbuddysearch and look at programs on the message boards, or pick a program out of a good fitness magazine (and if you're not sure if it's good, you could post a thread to get it checked) well done so far and good luck
	2005/03/31, 04:30 PM great job....the hardest part however is keeping up....you have hoprefully changed your behaviors/routine that led to your weight problems to begin with.....so make a note of that.....so that you don't revert back.... take a week off after the 8 weeks....do 'active rest'.....so walk/play sports/go hiking......go swimming.....etc...... after the week choose another program to help you progress.....change is a good thing as it deals with fitness....otherwise your body becomes accustomed and finds more 'effecient' ways of adapting to the stress of exercise....which in this case is not a good thing.....
