Alternatively, if you are already relatively lean (say 17% BF as a woman) then you could try "The Stubborn Body Fat Solution" by Lyle McDonald.
Also, while I don't really like this article a huge amount (intellectually) it may put some of your issues in context:

Bumping my own post so it doesn't get lost in the melee.

I have two back photos in my profile..a before and after..go look..I got that by strength training.
So the weight lifting people on here are correct.
You're not.

Whoa. Why are you bashing Sara? I must've missed something (or a lot of things) in this thread...Sara rocks...period the end. She's got a bunch of followers because she selflessly offers her time and knowledge to help those who don't have a clue (and those who might have one but are hesitant for whatever reason). I have the utmost respect for that woman and would you believe, I'm not even friends with her on here? Step down girl...no reason to play these games. For real. This has gotten really low. (And so what if she is/was blonde...really?!?)
And you picked someone up a little while ago about *their* spelling...0 -
Don't listen to these men. Hire a FEMALE personal trainer and talk to her. Men don't understand a woman's body. It's not the same. Women's bodies are even designed to hold on to fat in preparation for childbirth. It doesn't know there isn't a famine around the corner. Women even have certain days of the month they should be buffing and certain days of the month they should be boosting. It's based on hormones. Your diet and your workouts should be based on that. How many men can explain that one?
1. Lose more weight.
2. Start strength training
3. If you have a back, chest, arms and shoulders, upper body strength training is probably a good idea.
- FROM A WOMAN.
ETA:
1. What in the HALE is buffing and boosting??
2. OP if you want guidance as to why you haven't lost weight during a year of exercising, you should open your diary, providing that it is accurate.
No one can really comment
^ Another vote for strength training from a woman. The basics are the same for males and females.
Cant help without seeing your diary but I would add:
4. Small calorie deficit
5. Enough protein.
How sexist are you? Men dont understand that women hold more fat? Are you serious? Get a female trainer? WTF?
Yes women hold more fat than men. We also look leaner at higher BF% Win for us.
Changes nothing about how to retain LBM while losing body fat. Exactly the same process for men and women at all times of the month.
What sexist things....please quote them.
How about you providing evidence that we need to train to our 'hormones' to be effective?
You really have an age issue, don't you? I can't tell if you're 15 and jealous Mummy won't let you drink, or 60 and upset you wasted your life.... Hmm, mysteries are always fun though.
Also, NOBODY here has any respect for your opinions. Maybe time to keep them to yourself.
Are you making inferences about blonds now?
No, I was just wondering how many groups of people you were going to insult in this thread, that's all.
Pretty sure all that's left are Jewish people.
Actually, I think you're the one with the comprehension problem. So I will spell it out for you. Since you have been in this thread. You have insulted multiple people and groups of people. So many in fact that all you have left to insult is the Jewish people. And I'm sure at some point you will take care of that too. Is good enough or do I have to go even slower?0 -

It could well be that I am not good at getting my point across to you, yes. I obviously need to explain things more.0 -
I like that when Sara uses ironic, it's actually relevant. Can't say the same about summer and her dribble though.0
