Ah, ok. Diet and cardio are key to losing those 5 pounds. I would suggest that she do 30-45mins of cardio 5-6x a week. Also, just letting you know that those 5 pounds she would lose would be water, not fat. As for diet, make sure her sugar/simple carb intake is minimal.

Is the meds keeping her from losing the last 5pounds or does she need to up the cardio by 15mins. Two Online trainers i grew up with said her heart rate is always the same so she is wasting time doing cardio and Topamax isn't helping but she gets migraines without it.


Are you familar with those Meds

That is my Tread.

Bro, my gf is on topamax for her seizures. Topamax is known to actually suppress appetite. I don't know about the other medication though.

I can get her in the Sauna and lose 5pound of water

She wants to lose the Belly. She lost 65lbs from February 2008 to February2009 and has been at 125lbs since she takes a week or two off she is the same she does an hr of cardio for a month she is the same.

Ok, so you clarified the situation. My gf has the same problem where she has lost a ton of weight but it seems as though she can't lose any more weight. My insight on this is that she needs to do something different because her body has plateaued and won't lose any more fat unless changes things up. Perhaps more cardio may be necessary.

Two Options she is Considered

Lipo or giving $300.00 to one of our Online buddies and doing a pre-contest Diet and Uping Cardio which one is $1000 plus and one is $300.00

I just have seen her unconsous for two days puking from a Migraine and she is actually considering going off all the meds. I told her to play the tape back and relized that that last 5pounds isn't worth pain, but I would probably want to do drastic stuff to so....
