I have been working on losing weight for the past 2 months. I went from 305 down to 276 in about a month which involved running twice a day for at least 30mins a time, 5 days a week and a diet plan that was 6 days at a calorie intake of 1500 or less a day and 1 “cheat day” of whatever I wanted (diet based upon caloric shock and your leptin level).I platued big time. Couldn’t get past 276, Of course, being dishearted, i then let up for about 3 weeks and went back up to 285 for weight. I then went back to working out once a day doing push-ups and sit-ups (3×25-30) and then staitionary bike or olyptical for 30 mins. I went back down to about 278.

So I have found a workout program that I just started (like yesterday) and already love it. It goes as follows:

Monday: Flat Bench – 6-10 Reps
Decline – 10-12 Reps
Incline – 10-12 Reps
Pec Dec – 10-12 Reps
Weighted Crunches – 20 Reps
Hyper Extensions – 20 Reps
Bridges – 1 min Reps

Tuesday:Squats – 10-12 Reps
Lunges – 10-12 Reps
Calf Raises – 10-12 Reps

Wednsday:Up/Right Rows – 8-10 Reps
Side Lateral Raises – 10-12 Reps
Dumbell Front Raises – 10-12 Reps
Shoulder Press – 10-12 Reps
Shrugs – 10-12 Reps
Hyperextensions – 25 Reps
Over Head Side Bend – 25 Reps
Russian Twists – 25 Reps

Thursday:Curls – 10-12 Reps
Hammer Head Curls – 10-12 Reps
Push Backs – 10-12 Reps
Cable Rope Pushdowns – 10-12 Reps
Cable Bar Pushdowns – 10-12 Reps
Barbell Curls – 10-12 Reps

Friday: Deadlifts – 10-12 Reps
Pulldowns – 10-12 Reps
Seated Military Press – 10-12 Reps
Seated Cable Rows – 10-12 Reps
One Arm Isolation Rows – 10-12 Reps
Chin Ups – 10-12 Reps
Hanging Leg Raises – 20 Reps
Russian Twists – 15 Reps
Bridges – 1 min Reps

And also 30mins of Cardio either after lifting (I do m-w-f) or before lifting (t-th)

SO again, I love it and am excited. But to lose weight you need a good workout plan and DIET!!!!
I learned that the 7-day “cheat day” diet works to an extent, but super easy to fall off of. And so…..

What is a really good diet program to get on? I have done alot of research and it seems that every diet plan I looked at was “the best diet out there” but honestly, I don’t want to buy a book, or download crap, or have a meal planner mailed to me for tons of $$$. Sorry if I don’t believe in purchasing a product (with this one time special offer and a warning that if your intent is to only lose a few pounds, this isn’t for you) when the very next product I look at, and the one after that all same the same thing.

I am looking either for a plan that someone has ACTUALLY done, stuck to, and has had sucess from and not just for 6 weeks either but for a good amount of time. I want something that is gonna help me with my life style change, not something that is change my life (for about 6 or so weeks).

And I swear to god if I see that amino berry acid promo as an answer, I am gonna flip!!!!
