Working out does matter and so does your eating habits.

When you're trying to lose weight, you can't change just your eating habits. You have to work out to maintain your muscle mass, too. This ensures that the calories you do consume go toward rebuilding and repairing your muscles. If you restrict calories without working out, once your diet is over, you're in big trouble. Your body is smart; it tries to think about long-term survival and wants to hold on to all the calories it can. When you starve yourself, you're making your body think it's going through a famine, so it does everything it can to conserve calories — including cannibalizing your muscles for fuel. Without those muscles, your metabolism is slower. Muscles are crucial to keeping that metabolism humming, so keep yours strong!

Jillian Michaels says the above in her blog.

I let my clients know it doesn't have to be so hard, but it won't be so easy either. It's hard to explain to a person that wants to lose weight that you have to eat sensibly, reduce your stress level and exercise on a regular basis. Our bodies are smarter than we think and proves it everytime a person gets off a diet and goes back to their regular way of eating.

Do yourself a favor and ditch the diet. If you need help with your eating habits or looking for a meal plan, take a look at the 21 Days to Amaze Program or the 90 Days to a New You.

Here are a couple of the results that my clients have had within 2 weeks of starting the program;

• THANK YOU to Wanda McCormick for her 'Get Fit' class and 'Eating Plan'. I love being able to put on last winter's trousers/pants (as it was a little cooler today) and have them be about 2" too big! YEAH...........working on the time they will just slide down my hips (in the privacy of my room!!!).
  My husband has lost 4lbs and is down under 200....Thanks again for the 90 Days To A New You eating plan, it has really helped us both.  B Manning, Colorado Springs
• Wanda... Thank You! I have lost 7 lbs in the last 14 days and I attribute it to working out 3 times a week and the new eating program 90 Days To A New You that you provided for me!!!!! Gone are the exta pounds I found in Mexico plus a couple more! Lighter and Stronger what can be better than that! Thanks Again.... JL, Colorado Springs
