So I just signed up for 9 more weeks with a trainer I have been working with and figured I would share some info...
I had trained with a woman at my gym who was great but it wasn't working...I was actually gaining weight (no, it wasn't muscle.) and was miserable. I stopped working with her because i was spending 35 bucks a session and not seeing the results i wanted.
I did some research and decided that I didn't need someone to work out with me since I know how to have proper form and will push myself, but I did need someone to tell me what workouts to do and what nutrition I should be giving myself. I found a woman who is an online personal trainer. At first I was like 'Huh? this won't work' But it totally has and I am so excited about it. For 9 weeks she charges 225 dollars (25 dollars a week.) She sends you a meal plan and workouts customized for you. It includes foods that you tell her you enjoy eating. She also has you send her pictures of yourself so she can see what your body type is so that she can better design your plan. I email her all the time with questions, comments, excitement whatever..she is always quick to write back.
So far, I have done 2 cycles with her and have lost about 15 pounds and lots of inches. I feel so much better and am going to keep up with this until our wedding so that I feel like a beautiful bride! I would put up the before and after pictures but I am a bit embarassed..if you want to see themFM me and I can send you!
her website is trainwithrae.com Just figured I would share!
UPDATE: I have gotten a bunch of FMs...here are the pictures..blah...i blocked out my face cause i am too embarassed1

Re: Personal training..updated with pictures...
thanks girls...the workouts are great. Im sure if you told her that you dont want to spend your life in the gym she can customize to you. She sends a chest/tri, back/bi, shoulders, legs workouts and tehn 2 different abdominal workouts to do each week. She asks you how much you work out or would like to workout and you go from there!
I think that you look totally amazing!! YOu have nothing to worry about...but either way,... you look even MORE amazing now! What a difference...and taht was only 2 sessions?? geeez... what does she have you do??? LOL Great job! Keep up the god work. I can't wait till I can post MY b4 and afters....

I think as soon as the money starts rolling in, this is my next step. I'm losing slowly, but not toning, and I need to kick it up a notch!!

lauren u look freaking awesome!
seriously u dont need to loose another lb or inch! you are perfect!
I have a question...why do you have to sign and do another cycle for another $225..cant you just keep up the same routine? It seems to be working really well?

hahaha thanks! In answer to JJC, I think it would get real boring to eat the same things for longer than nine weeks..also, its good to change the workouts...eventually i will probably create my own plans but for now until i reach where I would liek to be i am going to trust rae!
