Here's a workout vid from another fitness facility just down the road from where you live. After you have a few weeks in with Charles Dao, you might jog down there and give it a try. http://youtu.be/Vp6bJyQl504

Christelyn, I love your site, and I'm proud and happy for your weight loss! You look great. I am so frustrated right now with my progress. I've lost a total of ten pounds on weight watchers since February. I live in Florida, so I exercise frequently (4-5) times per week of walking. I've been in two car accidents and I'm going through phsyical therapy right now, so I haven't added in weight training.
I've changed my creamer to sugar free french vanilla, sometimes I'll have soy milk creamer (3 grams of sugar). I eat brown rice, couscous, whole wheat rounds (occasionally, meaning once per week), bison, chicken, ground turkey, shrimp, corvina (white fish), black beans, etc etc.....and lately I've been going up. I've gained a pound and half in two weeks. It's very frustrating.
Yes, I do have the occasional treat. I'll have a cake pop from Starbucks, and a grande lite Frappucino. This is once per week. Am I being stupid, blind, crazy, or what? It was suggested that I may have a gluten and dairy allergy. I eat within in my points, as a matter of fact I've cut the points down by four. I still feel satisfied and get in my nutrients. Your thoughts, and the thoughts of the group would be very helpful, and appreciated.
DarlingNikki69 Hi Nikki, it sounds like something might be "off." Have you had your thyroid and hormones checked? Hormones tell our cells what to do, and if your hormones are telling your cells to hold on store fat or put on pounds, there's a problem. If you rule out those issues, you might want to check to see if in fact you do have some sort of allergy. Finally, the sad fact is that most Americans eat WAY more calories than they need. Walking is good, but you might want to employ low-impact pilates, which was designed for dancers who had been injured. Muscle burns more calories than fat, so the more muscle you build the efficiently the calories are expended. Hope that helps!

Thanks for the quick response. I have a doctors appointment set for the 26th of this month. I had a hysterectomy about two years ago. I maybe perimneopausal. I intend to find out.
Yes, we do eat more calories than we need here in the states. Maybe it's something that I'm not seeing, or closing my eyes too. I'm frustrated, but hopeful.
Hysterectomy? I'd bet my right eyeball your weight gain is hormone related. Get your hormones under control and I'll bet the weight comes right off. Good luck, and make your doctor earn her money--ask lots of questions and be sure they know all your concerns! DarlingNikki69
Yeah girl! Nothing destroys fat cells and your ego like 30 minutes with a personal trainer. My gym wingwoman and I decided that we were fit enough after 50 something days of working out to get one from Gold's. You know, training hard core for a 5 k and all. We were confident, almost proud. Bring it..'cuz nothing is easy at Gold's. Then came Theresa... destroyed all that in 30 minutes of very modified calisthenics. After crawling back into changing rooms looking like shell-shocked refugee victims, we were wondering what happened. Swiss balls, slider pads and resista-bands are the tools of the Devil! Jacob's ladder mimics crawling to Hell... We meet up with her ever 2 weeks to tweak our work outs and I'm all for spitting in the Devil's eye! Good luck with your training. If it's easy, you're not doing it right :)

I dunno, Ricky; I think it's getting to be swimsuit season. Any thoughts?
Law Wanxi I sincerely hope Mr. Karazin does not roll up in here on the two of you, lol.
love it!
My Turbo Kickboxing instructor teaches a class at that gym and told me I should check it out. Been trying classes in different gyms to keep me moving. Bodyworks with weights at LA fitness was a killa.
