hi
i've done all sorts of exercise on cd. i've found that the more intense my exercise is the less i loose but the more i tone up.
the past week i've not had much chance to do anything much, just tuesday where i ran 4 miles and did some other stuff. this week i lost 4lbs on the 810. when i exercise 3 times a week to a high intensity and do my weights class my losses are lower, last week it was 2.5lbs.
it all depends on what exercise you'll be doing. walking and a few free weights are fine. just take it easy.
i think with me my body decides enough is enough and holds on to water and that is why my losses are slower. after running my fingers can be so big that they're like sausages.
