This is especially important if you are exercising. You can actually wind up burning too much muscle mass which is a bad thing. Follow the dietician's advice. You didn't put the weight on overnight so don't expect to lose it that way. If you look at it more as a lifestyle change you will be much better off in the long term.

Good for you! But I can't see "personal trainer" without thinking of "Arthur II" and Marth's guy. HopeHoops Oct 2012 #8

Sorry, I didn't see that movie. Denninmi Oct 2012 #9

Just wave your tackle at him. He'll leave you alone. And Dudley Moore was THE Arthur. HopeHoops Oct 2012 #10
