    You should be eating all your calories AND all your exercise calories. Give it a try and see what happens. :smile:

    Talked to a Nutritionist at the Gym. They will check your daily intake of calories. Change up the foods you eat daily and your exercise routine. Good luck! And keep up the great work outs!

    Try turbo jam! a freind of mine lost over 60 pounds doing that for 30 minutes every day and eating about 1200 calories. I just started and so far so good. it's really fun.

    I never get on the scale once I start my gym routine again. As you gain muscle, you retain water temporarily. You need this water. You will start to lose fat after a couple of weeks of consistant exercise. This is the healthy way to lose weight. My advice, do not get on the scale and go by how your clothes feel. I went through a span where the scale didn't change for weeks, but my clothes were getting bigger and that's all that counts. Stick with it. You will get there. I am back on the wagon again after almost 6 months off. I am basically starting over.

    Good Luck!!!:wink:

    I agree with Heatmiser. I recently started hitting the gym after about a year. :ohwell: It has been two weeks and I have actually gained a few pounds. But just like she said, my clothes are starting to get bigger and I'm feeling so much better and energetic. Keep at it and the results will come, they just don't come instantly.
