[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For 15 pounds?  No.

Put that money into a personal trainer.[/quote]

This. For $300 you can get a personal trainer 2-3 times a month. Lift Heavy.[/quote]

Did you miss that part? I’m doing that 3x a week w a personal trainer. [/quote]
But what is your walking pace. Big difference between ambling and power walking.[/quote]

And between light weights and heavy weights. I'm skeptical OP is actually challenging herself in terms of fitness.[/quote]
Agreed. She is doing a lot, but perhaps not exerting herself. I do 1/3 of what she does and easily maintain my weight, despite age and questionable food choices. I walk briskly for 3 miles every day and that is the extent of my exercise.[/quote]

And that’s exactly why I need this and you don’t. That’s the point. 
For legs I do 50 lbs and arms I do 30 lbs (15lb dumbbells and 25 pound dumbells) [/quote]

The only reason weight lifting helps with weight loss is because it builds muscle and hence your resting metabolic rate. You’re probably not getting enough muscle growth, despite your heavy weightlifting, to cut back on cardio the way you have with just walking. You probably need more intense cardio to burn more calories, too. Everyone keeps saying that, but you refuse to hear it. You want the drugs that may or may not help you lose those 15 pounds, but that will surely put the nail in the coffin of your metabolism once you inevitably stop taking them. Proceed as you wish. There is no stopping you because you’ve made up your mind anyway.[/quote]
