10 pounds to lose ...

Yes, I am on the last stretch of my weight/fat loss, with MAYBE 12 more lbs. to lose. I say that because I have been weight training since July and have completely transformed my body by building muscle, which in turn revs up your metabolism and melts the fat off your body. I weigh more than if my goal was simply "weight" loss because muscle is denser and weighs more than fat--BUT it takes up less space, and I'm into the clothes size I was before I needed to lose the weight! If you lose any more than 2 lbs. per week, you are losing fat, water, AND muscle--which you do NOT want to lose! Muscle IS your metabolism. Any more weight loss than that, and you are begging for the yo-yo dieting syndrome because the weight lost will have included muscle, and you will have to eat fewer calories than before you started just to maintain that new weight loss. Most people cannot do this, return to their "normal" eating patterns and gain the weight back within a short amount of time, and THEN some! Please go to bodybuilding.com for some really good articles on how to tone up and lose fat. They use sound principles, and your body will look and feel great! Those last ten pounds can be the hardest, but it CAN be done! We'll do this together! I'm a weight-lifter for life, and I look and feel better than I ever have before and no longer feel the need to lose a certain amount of weight, just lose a little more fat off my muscles and see the muscle definition I'm after. Good luck....and more power to you!!

....I must also add that I eat very clean 6 days a week, with a splurge meal once a week, drink a gallon of water per day, take a good multivitamin, and additional supplements, which you can also learn about at bodybuilding.com.
