I'm am not trying to sound harsh... so forgive me if I am.

I just know for me... and you are my size... for someone as small as us already... it takes SERIOUS DEDICATION and WORK to lose weight. We can't just fluff through it and eat bad food and not exercise and still lose weight. If someone has 50-70 pounds to lose (or more!), they can eat a little less and lose weight. That won't work for us.

Now, you might also want to tell the trainer what works for you... meaning... him picking over every little thing you eat... is driving you NUTS!

But you also need to be prepared for him to possibly drop you as a client. Some trainers just won't tolerate working with clients who aren't willing to do the work they want them to.

I am sure you two can find a balance between the two though.

Keep in mind, he's just doing what he knows to do... to help you achieve your goals.
Good advice. Thanks. I think I didn't realize/appreciate how hard it would be to lose 10 lbs. Also, I checked his certifications and one is ACE, one is from some 24-Hour fitness program and I cannot recall the name of the other one and it's in my gym bag which I left in my car! Will edit when I get the info. Thanks again everyone.
