Id assume you will burn yourself out on grapes long before u start noticing any changes. Especially if u are eating that much daily!

Maybe try splitting the grapes into serving size baggies that way you dont mindlessly munch.

I drink organic milk. Usually skim or 1%. It doesnt really cost me much more than regular milk. I usually cant go thru an entire gallon of milk without it going bad so I instead get the half gallon of organic. (both are about 3.50)

I only do organic milk and a few organic veggies. Only where I can taste a difference. OMG organic carrots... to die for they are so delicious and sweet compared to regular ones.

I had a similar problem a few weeks ago. Turned out my scale was broken and was weighing me 8lbs heavier... consistently! Double check your scale u might need to change the batteries.

The only things that help me are long hot showers or walking on the treadmill with an incline.

Maybe she has more muscle.

Have u cut out salty foods? Too much salt will make u retain water.

Dont get discouraged. Its only been a week.

I have spoke to the trainer. Maybe I didnt phrase my question to the forum properly. My concern is not about being sore. From what I understand it is good to be sore for a few days after a work out shows that u had a good workout. And I am not experiencing any pain.

I was looking for an opinion from the forum on which was better results wise. With the last trainer I was training 2x a week and attending a body works class 2x a week in addition to kickboxing class and step classes. I averaged 5 classes a week in addition to the two training sessions plus maybe an hour of cardio. The classes are more intense cardio workout.

With the new guy I am doing the same amount of cardio and spending the same amount of time in the gym but too sore to do any of the body works classes or step. I spend more time doing ellipitcal or treadmill.

Is it better to have more intense weight lifting and less intense cardio? Or can I expect to see similar results from more the opposite?

Its general muscle stiffness/soreness. Occasionally after a leg workout I'll feel nautious. Althought, Im not concerned about him pushing me too hard. Im mainly concerned with being to sore to able to participate in the group cardio classes. I burn way more calories in those classes than I do using the elliptical or treadmill for an hour. 

Its been a couple of weeks already and Im still sore. Its good tho to switch to a harder trainer to avoid a plateau?

And yes, I cant spell. :)

Buy a bb-gun. Problem solved.

Crank the incline on the treadmill up to the max. Even if your at a slow pace to read it'll burn more calories and get u a lil short of breath.

My doctor told me not to eat more than 1200 calories per day. Even with me working out 5x a day! Also, she said the cereal I was eating for breakfast (Rasin Bran) had too high sugar.

My foot scale tells me I have 34% body fat, but the hand held machine at the gym reads 29.5% Big difference!

I used them for about 6 weeks. No problems until one day..... only once... leakage... I thought I was eating healthy for lunch (steamed veggies and chicken from the chinese restaurant with NO SAUCE) Little did I know.

It was gross and I have never ever touched them again.

Good idea. :)
