Dear Cathe,
I've been working out about 4-5 times per week (doing both your cardio/weight workouts as well as pure cardio) for the past two months and instead of losing weight, I think I'm just getting bulkier b/c my pants are tighter and the scale reads the same. (I should also mention that I took my measurements and I'm exactly the same....*especially* in my mid-section.) I've been eating well & clean (aside from the occasional pasta dish) so I'm really trying to understand what I should be doing in regards to losing weight.
Also, I've been reading a lot of posts on your site (as well as others) that say that using heavy weights adds bulk and doesn't necessarily lead to weight loss.
I really enjoy using weights, but I do not want to get bulkier. Can you shed some light on all of these different messages I've been receiving?
Thanks so much,
Rose
