[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for the quick replies.

Agree i need to adjust the diet.

There seems to be a conflict in the other responses... one PP saying i can lose this weight on diet alone, and another saying that running 4 times a week is nothing (which i agree with -- hence my request for a stepped up workout).  Can someone clarify: Do you think my best bet is to stick with my current running schedule and just do a big calorie cut?  Or should i be cutting calories and intensifying my workout?

On the weight training, my issue was i was legitimately getting bigger. I  wasn't doing any significant cardio during that era.  After about 3 months of the personal trainer, a lot of my clothes legitimately did not fit anymore.  Like, work blouses were bursting tight  in my upper arms, sheath dresses were squeezing on my shoulders and pants were so tight on my thighs that they were no longer appropriate for work.  Basically, half my work wardrobe was either too uncomfortable or inappropriate to wear because i'd gone up a full clothing size just from muscle mass.  Once i stopped the personal training and shifted entirely to cardio, the muscle mass went away and i went right back to my original size within 2 weeks. So no, i wasn't imagining i was bigger -- my clothes legitimately didn't fit me.  I'm actually pretty muscular naturally, so muscle mass is just not something i want to actively seek out.  I really want to focus on weight loss.

With that additional info, doesn't that help you narrow your recommendations?   [/quote]

1.  I doubt you actually put on that much muscle mass in 3 months.  That's just not possible, but if it really is true, perhaps you should enter Ms. Olympia.

2.  Focus on your diet - cut your calories by 20%. [/quote]
