Studies have shown that weight loss that occurs to quickly puts too much stress on the body and can cause subsequent damage to vital organs....I agree with this method of permanence...and, believe it. My heart IS in it. I work out six days a week, three of which involve weight lifting and resistance training. My calories are very regulated and I have strength and muscle tone now.

I was just teasing you, but it's hard to communicate that on the Internet. Especially since I didn't use any smilies or anything.
Dropping weight steadily week after week takes some real work, I know all about it. January 1st I was 235 pounds. Today I'm 197 pounds (back to fighting weight) in just about 10 weeks exactly.
This is what I do personally:
3 - 1 hour weight sessions per week with personal trainer
4 - 2 hour Brazillian Jiu Jitsu Sessions per week
6 - 1 hour cardio days per week.
2000 calories, less than 30 grams of fat and more than 150 grams of protein per day.
Luckily I'm just about done crash dieting now myself and I can get back to eating a little more, can't wait actually.
Anyway, keep up the good work and don't forget to reward yourself everynow and then, you've earned it.
