Hi luvmylbb,
I'm not Cathe, but as you probably already heard the last 10 is the hardest to lose. Also a word of advice, you may want to start looking at inches rather then pounds, this is because once we get working out and building nice lean muscles, we start to burn the fat (and lose fat weight), but muscle weight may take it's place or even make it seem like you weigh more. As muscle weight more then fat, if you compare an inch of fat to an inch of muscle. Your inch of muscle will weight 2 or 3 oz. Your inch of fat, will weigh .035 oz Or simply round, a 1/2 oz compared to 2 oz, it's a big difference, and it will throw your scales way off and tell you, your heavier but actually less fat. So be sure this is fat weight and not a product of you working out and being able to fit into smaller clothing.
But here are the details on the two rotations you choose: building more muscle will help you burn more calories, but you maybe trading fat for muscle fibers and may never see that scale move. But you may go down a dress size or two, so you'll be smaller and slimmer over all.
As for a fatloss rotation that has a lot of cardio and some strength training, the scale may move but you may or may not see a true dress size change, it will depend on your body, and where those fat cells are, and how many you have left.
What rotation you do is up to you and what you want your final product to be. As each rotation will burn calories and help remove the fat, but have a slightly different end product. Cathe’s rotations are awesome, so I’m sure you’ll see results no matter which one you pick.
Good luck
Kit
