    WOW!
    I am so sorry you had to go through all that and a "trainer" that has no medical training. I think you should make your community aware of the "trainers" name and make sure everyone knows he/she is a fraud.
    Good job on the healthy weight loss.


    Not sure of her training. I wouldn't say she is a fraud...she knows a lot...just not about how to train people with multiple medical issues.

    I tried eating 1200 calories a day and I couldn't do it ALL the time, I think it's too low for someone such as myself weighting in at 273! I eat at least 1450 if not a bit more on some days. Lately I have been getting very hungry and from what I understand, it means that you are losing weight when you are hungry all the time and I'm not talking about the not sure hungry, I mean the true hungry where your stomache is growling alot. I even have cheat meals once a week and so far I have lost 42 pounds in just under 12 weeks, so yes, more calories should do the trick and eat your exercise calories, some or all when you feel you need to. Listen to your body, it knows best! Good luck.

    I have tried to use the "quote" option to respond directly to some of the posts here. They aren't showing up. I am not a vindictive person. I have no plans of bashing her name. That is specifically why I haven't used her name. However, I will strongly encourage others in the weight loss challenge to sit down with their doctor and go over their nutrition goals. I am not sure of her education, I never asked (I should have). I just assumed the information she was giving me was accurate. Hind sight is 20/20. Also, I don't think she is a quack or a fraud. She is smart on many areas of nutrition and fitness. I just don't think she needs to take on people with multiple health issues. I just hope she learns from this experience. Lashing out in anger over this wouldn't accomplish a thing. Yes, I am upset this had to happen, It scared me! She needs to be aware of her mistakes, but I can go about that in a civilized way. I try my best to find a little hope in bad situations. I think there is a lot to be learned from this whole thing.
