Hi Adrian,
I am 36 yrs old, 5'2", and 139 lbs. I have A LOT of fat on my body and small frame after having twins (8 yrs ago now!) that just cannot get off! I am doing the treadmill 1-2 times per day (burning about 500 cals daily). Usually interval workouts. Prior to my treadmill I do my 5 lb arm weights, situps,squats, and lunges. I am using an online calorie counter and eating around 1200 cals per day, which they say is ok for my height. I have gained 3 pounds! I am eating healthy...yogurt, chicken, veggies, green tea. Please help- I am getting frustrated! Thank you!

Hey Adrian,
I recently went on your program and have been losing 2 pounds a day for the last two week!!! (I'm doing the fast weight loss program because I want to lose as much weight as I can by Thanksgiving). Anyway, I'm getting scared, is it okay for me to be losing this much weight this fast? I've went from 210-182. My goal weight is 135. I'm only 5'3 and I am a female. I workout three times a day for about 20 minutes doing your interval training suggestions. I do the kettleball every other day for resistance training. I just don't want the weight to come back after I go into a maintenance program. I'm thinking/hoping you're going to say it's okay since I have so much weight to lose???

Your response is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
