   im 5’4 too and im 155, ive been working out a lot and on the scale i haven’t lost much weight but my love handles are shrinking and my husband says he can see the difference. Im getting disappointed that im not seeing results faster but im not going to give up. Im using this website called caloriecount.about.com it helps me keep track on how much i eat and how many calories i burn when i exercise. It gave me a goal date to reach 125 pounds and even though its far from now it keeps me motivated to keep dieting and working out. you should try it out

   First off, a low carbohydrate diet is the best thing to lose weight. Drink 8 to 10 glasses of water each day (NO SODA). Natural juices are ok but they do have sugar in them and yes folk’s sugar is a BAD carbohydrate so limit the amount of juice you intake. Now as far as working out you should do a 3 day a week (M-W-F) type of workout. You will GAIN weight if you work out every day. The best way to lose weight, tone your body, and keep your heart rate up is Peripheral Heart Action (PHA) Circuit Training. So, what in the world does “peripheral heart action” mean? I’m glad you asked. The term refers to a circuit where upper body and lower body exercises are alternated back and forth. What this does is force the blood flow to keep switching from different parts of the body as you change exercises emphasizing different muscle groups. It results in a more demanding workout for the cardiovascular system because the blood flow isn’t able to get into an established pattern like it could if you were just working the same muscle groups. The most important part is the concept of alternating upper and lower body (or core) exercises, you can use any exercises you want. When you do this type of work out your body will keep burning fat 24 to 36 hours after the workout is done. That is why you want to only do a M-W-F workout. With this type of program you can lose up to 10 lbs a week but that is on the high end. Most people lose about 3 to 6 lbs a week and get the same results every single week. It is not like most plans where you start of loosing large amounts and then taper off. This is the best way to lose weight, tone your body, and have a good cardio workout. Below is an example of a starter PHA Program.

   Go through each of the 4 exercises in the Group A back to back with no rest in between (this is called a “superset”). When you have completed all 4 exercises, rest for a short period of time, then repeat the circuit two more times in the same manner (for a total of 3 times through). After the 3rd time, rest a short period then switch to the exercises in Group B and go through those 4 new exercises in the same manner as Group A for 3 sets.

   Rest periods: Initially, rest for one minute in between each circuit and in between switching from circuit A to B. Gradually decrease the rest periods until you can complete the whole thing with only 30 seconds rest in between each circuit. If you can’t get through the 4 exercises in a row with no rest, that’s OK in the beginning. Take a few breaths in between exercises as needed.

   Weight/number of repetitions: Use weights that allow you to get in between 8-15 repetitions of each exercise. 12 is a good number to start, there is no magic to it. Remember, you will be taxing your cardio as well, so the weights will have to be a little lighter than what you could lift with longer rest periods. Make sure you are pushing yourself though…if you aren’t huffing and puffing hard afterwards, you aren’t getting the full benefits.

   Frequency: Do this program 3 times per week. Combine it with a good warm up and cool down. You can do some walking, running or other cardio on off days if you wish, but that isn’t necessary. Follow the program for 6 weeks and then take a week off of weight training. After the back off week, you can start up again with a new circuit by substituting in the alternate exercise suggestions to change it up.

   Conclusion: Try this program out for a few months and I’m sure you will be pleased with the results. When combined with a sensible nutrition plan, you can expect to see some good results in terms of weight loss and body composition. Good luck with your training and stay healthy.

   Group A

   Chest Press: Hold a dumbbell in each hand, lie on a bench with your feet flat on the floor. Press the dumbbells straight up to full lockout and lower them to the bottom of your chest. Alternate exercises: Barbell bench press, dumbbell bench press on a stability ball, floor press (bench press lying on the floor)

   Lunge: Step forward with one leg and lower yourself until your knee almost touches the ground. Keep your back straight and vertical, don’t lean forward. Use dumbbells to add resistance as necessary. Alternate exercises: Instead of the lunge you can step up onto a bench.

   Standing Row: With a barbell or dumbbells, stand with your knees slightly bent. Fold at the hips and allow your torso to bend forward. Keep your back straight (don’t let it round), stick your chest out and pull the weight from hanging in front of you up to just below your chest. Alternate exercises: seated cable row, row from knees on a stability ball, pull ups.

   Stiff Leg Dead lift: Stand with your feet close together. Pick up 2 heavier dumbbells or a barbell from the floor and stand up straight, lower it back down. Keep your legs straight (minimal bend at the knees), this will target the hamstrings. Don’t round your back. Keep your arms locked out straight as well. Alte

   I found this on this website. There are more tips and info.

   1. If what you are eating has less than 1 carb, count it as 1 carb just to be sure.

   2. Totally avoid caffine at least for the first two weeks on the program.

   3. Drink a MINIMUM of 8 glasses of plain water or seltzer daily.

   4. Don’t weigh yourself more than once a week

   5. Take starting measurements as well as weight – sometimes you’ll lose inches before pounds

   6. Avoid any type of “low carb” sweetener for the first two weeks

   7. Don’t compare your loss to someone else’s – this is a YMMV thing (your milage may vary)

   8. Stalls are common around the third week so don’t panic

   9. If you follow your plan to the T and don’t lose, consider Candida as a possibility and avoid vinegar, cheese, mushrooms and any other fermented food

   10. Have bloodwork done before starting so you have a comparison

   11. Cholesterol can be elevated in the first few weeks til your body adjusts – make sure your doctor knows that you’re doing low carb and when you started

   12. Don’t blame the diet if you don’t read your plan book — blame the diet if you don’t read the labels — Don’t blame the diet if you don’t follow the diet

   Loosing weight fast is always an unhealthy thing.
   There are many diets who tell you that you can loose a lot of weight in no time. And it is working, but you are doing no good to your body. And there’s also the Jojo-effect.
   The best thing to loose and hold a healthy weight is healthy food, less sugar, lots of drinking water, and sports.
   Diet has to begin in your head. And you already started to think about your nutrition. That’s an important step. It is too easy just to make a magazine-diet for 2-3 weeks and loose some weight. But it will come back soon again. If you are over-thinking your nutrition and activity, you will have a constantly good result. Isn’t that much better and healthier than a crash-diet ?

   Take care,
