How do weight loss pills work? Is it safe to use them for weight loss?

Wednesday, February 4th, 2009

Sophie

I’m 14 and I’m 4′6 and I weigh 68 pounds. I’m a competitive gymnast and fat is really not good so I need to lose weight. Some of the girls on my team use weight loss pills, and they say they work really well. Oh and also are they expensive? Do you need a prescription?
Exercise and diet aren’t the problem. I train 6 hours a day and eat about 1300 calories.

I have a co worker who has generously offered to give me personal training. She herself isn’t a licensed personal trainer but she knows a lot about it. What would be the appropriate amount to pay her?

Also how would one start a personal training boot camp? Are these generally associated with a fitness center? Are personal trainers generally permanent or contract positions?

Confusion about weight loss? How is it possible to have permanent weight loss if dieting slows down metabolism

Wednesday, January 7th, 2009

ClumsyClumsy:]

well, i know that eating less will have the body adjust to the new calorie intake and thus, no further weight loss. So how is it possible to have permanent weight loss if eating less doesn’t work?

Please give tips and suggestions, people who have sucessfully lost weight. thanks soo much!

What to expect from weekly personal training?

Monday, December 22nd, 2008

I’m going to get weekly personal training for 15 weeks - and I’m nervous. I’ve never played a sport and I’ve never been an athlete. I’ve never run a mile (but that’s my goal). I am a little overweight from my pregnancy.

I just don’t know what to expect - will it be bearable? Should I expect any (physical) results in those 15 weeks? And how many times a week would I have to work out in addition to the personal training? I can make it 2/week, but I have a toddler at home so it’s hard to go to the gym more often.

And yes, I know I should ask the trainer this, I’m just wondering right now.

San Jose Mommy

I have an appt with a trainer on Monday and want to know what to expect. This is the initial consultation. I am looking at 40 weeks of training. Probably 3 sessions a week at one hour each.

Can you tell me about your personal training experiences?
How much money did you spend to get to where you wanted to be?
Was it worth it?

I want to lose 30 to 40 pounds…basically the baby belly left over from my 6 month old daughter.
