    if you want to do her guide you can find it online for free. there's nothing special about it.


    i agree that 90% of that is just from having a low body fat. Just curious though, did you talk with your trainer? They might be able to do something like 1 time a month where you check in, but they still build a plan just for you, etc. Since it seems you're willing to do something all on your own.

    Yeah, we talked today. I am not really willing to do it alone, but it may be the only way. I wish I had a friend to train with.


    Why aren't you willing to do alone?

    I think one of the worst things a person can do while losing weight is start up an exercise type or program they know they aren't willing to follow through on for the long haul. (Lacking funds to continue, I understand and that's more a "can't " than a "not willing to".)

    I forgot to elaborate. I can't motivate myself, a trainer pushes me much further than I would push myself, if I perceive something to be too hard, I give up. Or that has been my pattern so far.

    If finances are an issue, then cut back. I have clients that I only meet with once a month, write a program then they do it for that month and the next is different. Which BTW, your trainer should have been giving you a written program at least once a week out of courtesy.
    And you have motivation or you wouldn't have shown up at all. You may not have as much persistence on your own to do exercises that are difficult without encouragement. I get that. That's something you try to get over.

    I might do better on my own now that I've been training for over 18 months. I guess I'll just have to try.
