So far so good, day 57 and 11 down, want 10 more but I am hitting plateaus every three pounds. I am a 34 years old female, 5'8 and 145. I have great muscle tone but the flab is still hanging on my lower tummy and inner thighs, upper arms. Can I do 10 pounds realistically in 5 weeks? Or should I give up the number goal?
Both my husband and I are doing the program, I just so happened to see the infomercial exactly 90 days before our scheduled first ever warm exotic vacation in 11 years! He is doing great, lost ten pounds and his upper body is getting buff. Last week, I started to exersize twice a day, a walk, run or rollerblade in the morning in addition to power 90 in the afternoon with my husband 6 days a week. I also scaled back on starches, bread, rice, potatoes, and pasta. Still lots of veggies and lean protiens with every meal, beans ans oatmeal occasional fruit. I am a stay at home Mom, so I have a very open schedule, what is the most ideal schedule for eating, supplements and exersize? Thanks for any input-this is the most success I have ever had dieting and exercize, I am psyched but want to stay realistic. |

Great job to both of you!
At 5'8" 145 you will have trouble losing 10 pounds in 5 weeks. It is possible but I suggest that you just stay the course that's working and not worry about it too much. A pound a week is very reasonable so you should get close. You may be able to get there by zig-zagging somewhat severely (meaning that you eat less than your normal amount a few days a week to ensure that your BMR doesn't drop and you guarantee negetive calories.) If you don't hit it exactly at 90 days you should be able to shortly after. Just don't go crazy and vastly undereat or you risk getting sick or injured. It sounds like you are doing great. The only real suggestion I have is that you always do your moderate exercise (like cardio) on an empty stomach (no food for three hours prior or in the morning before you've eaten), then eat after. Do the higher intensity stuff later in the day when your blood sugar is higher and you'll perform better. Always eat a post-exercise snack that consists of some sugar and around 40 - 60 grams of carbs and 10 - 15 grams of protein. This will help you recover much faster and you should get less hungry throughout the course of the day. Good luck and keep at it, and have a great trip! |
