I say try bumping up the weight training to like 3-5 days/week.. and see if that doesn't help ya some. You can use bodybuilding.com and find TONS of beginner workouts and all the information you need. And it doesn't matter if you're "weak", just lift as heavy as you can and you'll get stronger as time goes on. What type of cardio are you doing?!

Aug 5, 2008 8:06am

I recommend picking up the weight training. If nothing else, it'll help build lean muscle, and for every pound of lean muscle you gain, you burn an extra 50 calories/day. I weight almost 140 lbs., but the average individual usually calls me out at 110. I dont know about you, but I'd rather look 110 and weigh 140 than weigh 110 and look like I don't eat!

Hey Crystal, you look amazing!

You're so very welcome. YES, the sugar-free Jell-o is kick-butt when hunger kicks in or sweet cravings attack ya! 6 lbs. isn't too bad.. at 1.5 lbs./week, you could get it off in about a month. How much cardio/weight training are you doing, now?! If ya don't mind me asking.. you can def. kick this last 6 lbs. in no time =]

Feel free to hit me up with any more questions!! I love helping where I can.. best wishes. I know you've got this =]

As far as cardio, I do almost none. Now, before a photo shoot, however, I'll throw some in.. how much depends on how much ab definition the photographer wants me to have. I'll do anything from 2 times a week to 2 times a day (up to 5 days a week). And I change it up because I hate it. I'll do high intensity interval training on the treadmill, take a spinning class, swim, or get on an elliptical. I HATE being bored =]

Sorry that is FOREVER long.. I tried to send you a private message, but it wouldn't let me!! Anyway, let me know if you have any questions about that. Now, it may or may not be what you need, but it's what I do and you asked for my secret ;) So, if you'd like something more tailored toward your specific goals, let me know and we'll see what we can't come up with.

I eat every 2-3 hours and use sugar-free Jell-o to hold me over if I get hungry! Also, I alternate EFA Gold (fish oil) with 1/4 c. almonds ever-other day to add some calories and flavor.
