Currently, I am only doing the elliptical machine and following the first type of diet menu you first tried. Do you have a fat loss book with free weight training tips? I was wondering if I'll stay soft if I continue doing what I'm doing. Amy Linde Anthony:

The short answer is that you need to address the back pain as your number one priority. The best way to do this is to see a physiotherapist or physician to evaluate the nature of the back pain. Once accomplished a strength training regime that includes strengthening the deep core muscles in the torso, strenghtening the hip girdle and training flexibility and strength into the hamstrings. Without knowing the nature of the back problem it is impossible to recommend specifics but these are well established general guidelines for managing back pain. Walking is the best form of exercise, at least initially, for those living with back pain. When you can walk without discomfort for extended periods you can move to an elyptical or a recumbent bike for increasingly intense bouts of exercise. From your description it sounds like your back is the weakest link in your body. It is critical that you address it as your priority for physical training. Think about the long term consequences of back pain and not the short term inconvenience of managing the problem properly. Hope you get back on track. kh Hello Mishell

I was given a computerised pedometer called Fitbug (http://www.fitbug.co.uk - it was on Diet Doctors last night) for my birthday. At first I was a bit sceptical, but it's actually not just a pedometer - they have a members' portal which makes a massive difference. The site tracks how many steps I've been doing from day to day and then figures out a whole exercise and nutrition plan to fit around my lifestyle - and it keeps sending me SMS messages on my mobile to let me know when I haven't been doing enough steps. The best bit for me though is the competitive element - you can set up leagues and compete with your friends. It gets you all exercising 'against' each other - I've become a bit addicted!

If you got the will to do things and the endurance you have great changes to reach your goal. Make sure your goal is feasible. Read as much as you can in order to set your milestones. If you set your goals to high you lose soon your motivation. Always reconsider your goal! Adjust Adjust Adjust. If your goal is losing weight but you do not lose much then set other milestones. I also created a website under http://www.goalsetting1.com where you can post your goal online. It has the nice affect that when other people know about your goal you go faster...a bit a stress factor... Greetings Michael :) Hi Jeremy, here are some tips for goalsetting.

If you got the will to do things and the endurance you have great changes to reach your goal.

Make sure your goal is feasible. Read as much as you can in order to set your milestones. If you set your goals to high you lose soon your motivation.

Always reconsider your goal! Adjust Adjust Adjust.

If your goal is losing weight but you do not lose much then set other milestones.

I also created a website under http://www.goalsetting1.com where you can post your goal online. It has the nice affect that when other people know about your goal you go faster…a bit a stress factor…

Is this true? I've had 3 children and I think that my stomach is my most problematic area and no matter what I do, there is no improvement. Help. Am I wasting my time with crunches and sit-ups, etc.?
