It's worth it!!!!!

So I went and met with the personal trainer yesterday. She is very straight to the point and willing to help. She knows her stuff I must say!!! She is ranked in the top 50 personal trainers in the United States! So no big deal we are talking about nutrition and what I have to do. 1100 Calories sounds like ALOT :eek: But like she broke it down for me and if I eat around five small meals a day.. that makes each meal only about 240 to 250 calories!!! :phanvan That sounds like NOTHING!!!! But I am real positive. The nice thing is she is not paper thin, but yet she looks really really good! So the dreaded question.. how much does she charge! I thought about 600 a month. I don't know how trainers work! HAHAHAHAHAHA Boy did I make myself laugh :whoo: For 12 weeks and four times a week the grand total is $2,280.00. Thank god for tax return season is all I have to say! To me her training me for three months is WORTH it. So I meet with her today we are going to just do measurements... the DREADED measurments! :cry But... I the good thing is I won't have to dread measurments or getting on the scale ever AGAIN!!!!! :biggrin1: I cannot wait to see myself in 12 weeks, just the improvements. You know she said something wise to me and it really stuck. "people think that eating does not control them losing weight, and it is the key factor, you cannot just do 2 hours of cardio and strength training and not watch your calories, and you cannot just do cardio and skip what you eat." Makes alot of sense from that perspective. She said we have to have ALL of the pieces of the puzzle. So true, and my whole life I have NEVER had all the pieces to the puzzle! All I can say is LOOK OUT WORLD CAUSE HERE I COME!!!!! :peace::peace::P

You're getting a deal with the trainer. Here in NY $90+ a session.

I'm not banded yet but My Dr has me on a 1200 cal diet until the surgery. Than 880 cal for the next month, very high protein. 16-20gms each meal.

I guess every Dr and every person is different.

You sound so pumped up!!!:peace:
