.......he's definitely trying to sell you something....his personal trainer services.

I know from personal experience that when your weight is high & you just start to move gain, the weight starts to come off......even without a gym....so you add that to your activity & it's going to boost your metabolism & also wear off the calories more than you put into your body.

I had really bad migraines 24/7 until I finally got the pain under control with a pain specialist.....I couldn't even get out of the house because of the pain. Light was horrible on my eyes, forget smells & I was just too sick most of the time to even get out of bed.....so I got the pain under control December of 2003.....I decided to take a few interior design classes at the junior college, ended up being treasurer of the on campus interior design club & the representative with the professional interior design associations. Started being able to ride my horse again.....went out to the ranch again constantly. My normal weight all my life was around 105 at 5'2".....had a time with anorexia in 1995 & lost a huge amount of weight & constantly in the hospital with central line IV nutrition. When the migraines got so bad was when the weight started climbing on with my lack of activity so I had gained quite a bit of weight the end of 2003. Just the moving around I was then able to do caused me to loose at a safe pace of 5 lbs/month. Only problem I had was that I was also on foal watch with my mare & sleeping in the back of my jeep at the ranch right at the time we had a huge forest fire....ended up with a massive asthma attack & bronchitis & in the hospital for 10 days......right after my mother had her cancer surgery. Everything I ate tasted like forest fire smoke, then I ended up with mild sun stroke after getting out of the hospital & back out in the 100F temps of the California desert.....my foal was born, then she injured her leg at 3 weeks old & nursing & caring for her several times a day & then my mother started declining in her health & stress big time set in & my controlled weight loss went into major uncontrolled weight loss & then I went through a trauma with the home care person who was caring for my mother & the massive uncontrolled weight loss ended up even greater until by the end of that year, I again ended up in the hospital with anorexia.

The point however really is that you don't need a personal trainer to loose weight.....activity really is all you need & to keep pushing your activity when you come to what feels like a plateau increase your activity level or find a different exercise that you enjoy doing to add into your routine because your body has built up stamina
