ST is right on IMO. Fat loss is more about diet than work outs. At least it was certainly the case for me. Cut out the sugar, potatoes, fried and processed foods and you are on your way. No eating after 6 helps immensely.

MT and I agreeing? Wait, I think I just saw a pig fly by my window. :-?

I don't want to get into my issues with PX 90 or any of the other popular type workouts but before embarking on any vigorous workout program, get your doctors okay.

Also know what kind of person you are?
What will you do when they show a "modification" for new exercisers or people not used to that much intensity.

Are you the type of person who can swallow your ego and listen, or the type that thinks " no pain, no gain" and ends hurt and depressed because you failed once again to find a workout/"diet" program you can live with.?

Getting up and moving your body, even in moderate ways and a good healthy eating program you can live with is the key.

Cutting out processed simple carb foods, and refined (white sugar" will jump start whatever food program you find that you can live with without feeling deprived.

Here's one that is getting good reviews. I'm not big on getting onto programs that are all encompassing but if you can understand the basic principals and learn to shop/cook, all the healthy "diet" sites have something you can use and learn for your healthy eating "diet".

PBS  had a show about her plan.
Lots of good info and some criticism as well.
Yes, for some people it will be the hardest thing they've ever done, especially if they eat poorly now.
But being obese/sick and old before your time is harder still and epidemic in this country.

Just understanding how to eat healthy for most people is the key.
When I first got into exercising, I quickly found that despite working out hard, I couldn't quite lose that body fat that in my mind should of melted off. :-?

Then a trainer I really respected asked me what I was eating/not eating?
Once she got me eating right, understanding how foods good or bad effect your metabolism, I was off to the races.

I always liked to cook, so I just acquired new healthy recipes and learned to modify old favorites that were less than healthy. Not as hard as you may think.
SHE always would tell her students in a hard class that " Nothing tastes as good, a healthy feels".
IF you've ever been there, you know how true that is.
