I finally realized that the thing that works best for me is variety, variety, variety! The minute I feel that I 'have" to just do one program or stick to one diet, I always blow it off. So I'm working with using some elements of several healthy diet plans, I'm working with a (very patient!) trainer who understands my need for variety, and I am also giving myself permission to try different supplements under advice of my doctor. I've been working with the new Alli weight loss supplement and have had really great results. I think this will help a lot of people boost their results. But you absolutely HAVE to combine it with a good diet and fitness regimen, or none of it really works. Thanks for your blog and I love your advice section - will be back to read more.

I don't even remember how I found your site about a week ago, but after reading this and knowing there must be more posts like it, you've just earned yourself a new reader. Three years ago I weighed 197 lbs, and I had no muscle mass to speak of, I couldn't really even move the bar at the gym. In about 6 months, I dropped to 145 lbs, now I'm up to 165, and gaining muscle, losing fat, every single day. I'm only 16, and I wasn't a big kid, until about 5th grade, then I seemed to just explode, now that I've lost it all, I'm inspired never to go back to it, and I continue to strive to better myself. People like you are an inspiration to me, and I hope you have a great life with the wonderful transformation you've attained. That was quite an inspirational post.
