Help, please

[Guest guest]

Hi,

Introduced myself a few days ago. Have well over 100 lbs to lose and

am so tired of " starting " over and over and getting fatter and

fatter. In 6 wks I am leaving for my annual trip to NY, and yet here

I am again panicky and fatter than last year. I know there is no

quick fix that is for sure. But I am trying to compare this plan

with 6 wk body makeover (infomercial) Thurmond. They lose 35+

lbs in 6 wks. Amazing. Hard to believe.

I am 38, and SOOOO tired of the deprivation thing. So I have a few

questions.

1) Is there a free day on the women's version?

2) How do I figure out my body fat percentage? Do I need calipers?

3) Can I just use the machines that I normally do at the gym for

lifting (Nautilus, etc)?

4) Has anyone done full body lifting 2-3 times per week instead of

alternating upper/lower?

5) Has anyone else been in my situation of morbid obesity and had

success with this?

It sounds very doable, but I suffer from that all or nothing

mentality. Because the rest of my life is sucking the life out of

me, how can I possibly start and succeed on this?

I know I have to do it for my health. I have 2 young children and I

want to break out of this horrible body, I am starting to feel the

stigma in a big way. Hate it. But yet I keep eating the wrong

things.

Thanks.
