Trying hard not to give up
I am 32 yrs. old, 5'0" and I weigh 175lbs. I have been working out, eating healthier and controlling portion sizes for the last 2 months and I have only lost 2lbs. I started of by power walking everyday for 30 minutes. Three weeks ago I joined a gym and I have been doing cardio at least four days a week and lifting heavy weights everyother day. I can not afford a personal trainer and I'm afraid if I don't start seeing results I'm going to give up. I am a bridesmaid in a May wedding in Miami and I am desperate to loose weight, can someone please help me!
The Peak 8 routine it will quickly raise your heart rate 8 times for very short bursts, with a cooling down period in between. Ideally you’ll be sprinting or cycling full throttle for 30 seconds with a 90 second cool down in between each outburst.
This is the fastest way to lose fat and build muscle in the body. Peak 8 actually stimulates the growth hormone in the body. I encourage you to visit Dr Mercola’s site to learn more about Peak 8 fitness because I personally feel that it is one of the best ways to exercise, especially considering the speed at which you can lose fat and build muscle.
I highly recommend you read this article and watch the videos on the page. It will give you all the information you need to know about Peak 8 – Flood Your Body With This “Youth Hormone” In Just 20 Minutes
What you eat after Peak 8 training does matter
It’s recommended that you do not eat sugar or carbohydrate for 2 hours after the Peak 8 exercise because these foods can impact the release of the growth hormone in the body. The link is below

Figure your heart rate by this formula
The formula involves using your maximum heart rate (MHR) minus your age to come up with a target heart rate range (which is a percentage of your MHR). Staying within this range will help you work most effectively during your cardio workouts.
First thing in the morning before you get out of bed have a clock with a second hand and check your resting heart rate then figure your rate by
checking your pulse for 15 seconds and multiply that by 4 that's your resting heart rate. Now take your age 32 subtract that from 220 that is your maximum heart rate 188. when you do cardio you want to stay between
65%- 85% of your maximum heart rate that would be between 122 & 159
I suggest buying a heart rate monitor that straps around your chest and has a wrist band that shows your heart rate. the ones at your gym that are part of the equipment aren't accurate.
You burn 30 percent more fat from doing cardio after a weights session as opposed to cardio on its own.

No do not give up. It takes sometime but you will see the results. Trust me. Keep doing what ur doing and stop watching every lb. Just work out, don't jump on the scale immediately after. Between now and May you will see results.
Also maybe you ought to cut certain things out completely, Switch to healthier brands of food such as wheat and soy.
Good Luck
