Espi's been posting about this in my log, but I'd figure I'd ask the question here. I've been in the 230-240 range for about a year and a half or so. The majority of my workouts since about May 07 were fat loss style programs (Fat Loss I, II and III from NROL, and programs in that style from my trainer), but even with that, my weight's remained about the same. I believe that Espi is suggesting (and correct me if I'm wrong) I should back off on the intensity of my workouts as that would make it easier for me to gauge my nutrition and let diet take the weight off. While I can see what she's saying, it seems a bit counterintuitive to me as well - but, either way, it'd be nice to cut off some more body fat. Any help/responses appreciated. Thanks.
