[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, that's great! Twenty pounds 6 weeks and not feeling hungry, way to go.  It sounds like you can continue this for a while.

Does your program also have a maintenance diet, when you're ready to stop losing weight?[/quote]

Not 100% sure, but I think so based on comments from other members.  The gym's nutritionist is the one providing the info for this 6 week fat loss challenge.  I joined the challenge because I hadn't been losing weight during my first month of workouts (in fact, I gained weight, but not fat).  I mostly wanted to kick myself into gear, as I keep reading here that diet is like 90% of the battle.

They offer an ongoing nutrition program one may join (for a fee, of course), but I'm still undecided whether I'll join or not.  A friend is doing the ongoing program, which has a little more variety in foods but hasn't reach maintenance level yet.  The kicker of this whole story is my daughter is a dietician.  The info she gives me (bless her heart because I know it kills her) is much more doom and gloom and disagrees with the gym's approach.  But I've noticed the same here, as well... people who insist metabolism slows way down with restrictive diets and dieting is never successful vs the other side.  I wish I understood more about how metabolism works (still need to watch the link), to decide if I'm messing myself up even more, or on a path to success.

Thank you for your encouragement![/quote]
