Start slow, nutrition is more important than the workout! YOU WILL NOT "GET RIPPED IN 90 DAYS!"....
Nutrition, nutrition, nutrition..... Figure out your BMR etc..
Start slow! Don't mentally burn yourself out with hard workouts that may at first show no real signs of weight lose etc... You won't accomplish anything if you jump in all gung ho and then quit after a few weeks. You have your entire life to be healthy.
(Eating a turkey sandwich with a glass of 2% milk as I type this)

At boot camp I gained approximately 20 pounds. That was about 3 months of fun.

Good lick Lizz! Remember to post the results in Xterra gurlz....[/b]Extremely few people will lose enough weight to get "ripped" You got to hit around 10% body fat or less to see any major muscle definition. Lizz is not in the army where she'll be forced to exercise and eat etc. Just saying.

OK I just weighed myself. I am 6 lbs. less than last Sunday. Crazy!
Today is "rest" day. Tomorrow I start back up. Basically this is the workout for the first three weeks:
Monday - Chest and Back (i.e. one hour of pushups and pullups -- TWO THINGS I HATE!!!) and 15-minute Ab workout (i.e. insanity)
Tuesday - Plyometrics (i.e. one hour of jumping and squatting)
Wednesday - Shoulders and Arms (i.e. one hour of weights and band exercises. By this time, I want to cry) and 15-minute Ab workout
Thursday - Yoga (i.e. 1 1/2 hours of me thinking "what did I get myself into?!?!?" I thought yoga was supposed to be easy!)
Friday - Legs and Back (i.e. one hour of squats and pullups) and 15-minute Ab workout
Saturday - Kenpo (i.e. one hour of kickboxing moves. This one wasn't so bad since I've done kickboxing for years so I was used to all the moves and doing the cardio.)
Sunday - Rest or the Stretch DVD
The next 9 weeks the workout order mixes around.
I've been following the nutrition plan exactly, with a few minor adjustments because I don't like seafood (I know, crazy!). I am getting used to eating egg whites, and I'm not really hungry in between meals. The first two days I was SUPER tired all day, but by Wednesday I was more energetic. In cases like yesterday where I spent the day out with my boyfriend, I would eat a salad with grilled chicken and low-fat dressing on the side. No cheese. No croutons. No bread. We even went to the Flea Market and he had a corn dog with mustard and I watched him eat it and was soooo jealous. This is so hard. But I am determined to do it!
By the way, I highly recommend this product to anyone who works out all the time but is at a plateau. I was at the gym 6 times a week, twice a week with a personal trainer, but wasn't getting results and wasn't motivated to eat right. This guy Tony is cool and kinda corny sometimes, but I laugh at his comments. It's like having a personal trainer every day. The program really spells out everything for you and is easy to follow.
Well, it's EASY to follow, but it's HARD to do the damn workouts and eat healthy all the time!

Liz, you should also think about buying a Bodybugg. I took off about 30lbs w/o even really trying. Okay, I do workout every day now but they aren't hard by any means now that I have gotten used to it. I run 25-30 miles a week and it's easy. The BB is like a 24 hour baby sitter. http://www.bodybugg.com/ YOU CAN DOOO EEET! Keep up the good work!

I just don't get people smoking today when the evidence on the health implications is so clear. I hate to break this to you, Liz, but do you know who the least attractive woman in the world is? Any woman with a cigarette in her mouth.

Any woman with a cigarette in her mouth. Well it's a good thing we're not dating![/b]Yeah, my wife would get cranky about that. Seriously, start observing movies, TV, and print media. See how seldom they show a woman with a cigarette actually in her mouth. They usually show them holding it, but very infrequently will they show it in the woman's mouth, and it's because of what I said. It just isn't very nice to look at. And that's aside from the taste.
