Well after so many naysayers I wanted to do some research and see if I was wrong about squats and ballerinas. Turns out I was half wrong, half right. Most top ballerinas do use squats to shape their *kitten* and these were the folks I was thinking about which is where I was wrong. But they do avoid heavy weightlifting…

I've had success with cardio but only paired with diet. At one point I was burning a 1000 calories a day but my joints began to wear out and I wasn't losing since I was using it as an excuse for late night snacking.

I lost 23 pounds in 3 weeks following an 1800 calorie diabetic exchange diet.

If your doing the weight lifting for fat loss you might as well stop. Weight lifting for weight loss makes little sense. It will help you look better and either help you gain endurance, strength or both but a pound of muscle doesn't burn much more than a pound of fat. It takes a tremendous effort to gain a pound of muscle…
