  • I hear that plateau's are most often the result of your metabolism stabilizing or getting used to your current diet. I listen to Fat-2-Fit radio and they would suggest going over your recommended caloric intake for a week and then going back to your reduced calorie plan.

  • I split my workouts about 50/50 between the gym and staying in. I use a Gazelle Elite and DVDs for at home workouts (Biggest Loser Cardio and Biggest Loser Power Sculpt) as well as outdoor physical activity on the weekends.
