So, I bit the bullet and got a trainer. ? re: results
And rejoined my gym, and got a personal trainer for 10 sessions.
I NEED to get rid of the baby weight. No more excuses. I am still carrying the weight from my first son, and now that my little one is three months old, and summer is around the corner, it's time to get my azz in gear.
I'm hoping to lose the gut by the summer at the latest.
How long did it take before you started to see results when using a trainer?

Re: So, I bit the bullet and got a trainer. ? re: results
Personally, when I was going to Ed, thats the only time I was going to the gym.. so it didn't work that great. I def saw an improvement in my strength and got sick work-outs, but it was the only 2 days a week i was doing anything. Plus my diet wasn't on point.
I think if my diet was on track and I was working out more than the 2 times I saw him, I would have seen results in a matter of weeks.
I miss ed

Eating right and doing cardio is going to be the key to seeing results
The trainer plays a part- but don't make the mistake that so many people make and think the trainer is going to magically transform them- you will get discourged
You can do it! Push yourself as much as the trainer pushes you!

Well said and ITA! Definitely get on a good diet, like weight watchers and really try to stick to it! You dont have to go to meetings but order books on ebay. Also make sure you do 30-40 min of cardio at least 4 times a week. Even if it is just walking, do something to stay active.
I have never worked out with a trainer more than 1 time but I make up my own routines and stick with them and they definitely pay off! After college I gained some weight and got pudgy in areas, I was not by any means huge but just soft. It took me 5 months of hardcore diet and gym and I got in the sickest shape of my life. Oh if I could look like that again! I was single and had tons of time to work out and stuff. So if you are dedicated I think you can do it by the summer! Good luck and keep us updated on your status!

Re: So, I bit the bullet and got a trainer. ? re: results
A friend of mine got herself a trainer and she didn't see results for a good 2 months I'd say...she was discouraged but kept at it and she finally saw results. She looks amazing. She was thin to begin with but totally toned up and her abs are tight and flat now...mind you she never was pregnant/had children but just figured I'd share. Took her a few months...so stick with it.
Also being a mom of 2 - if you ever find getting to the gym is too much...I HIGHLY recommend the Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred DVD...it's 30 minutes tops (may even be a tad less) and you literally see results in a week. I did it for a good 3 weeks straight and my pants felt so much loser in the waist....too bad I didn't stick with it - then I got prego. But that will be what I go back to after baby comes...you can't beat 30 mins a day and seeing results within a week.
Good Luck!

Everyone, thank you so much!
I do have the 30 day shred and figured I would do that a few days a week also (as well as extra cardio)
Brooke - I joined Synergy in Farmingdale! We can do Zumba together - I'll get you guest passes!

Re: So, I bit the bullet and got a trainer. ? re: results
I agree about the cardio, especially for a flat stomach. And eat lots of fiber too, at least you 25 grams a day, keep caffeine to a minimum and drink lots of water. Those things worked WONDERS for me.
I had a trainer for about 3 months before my wedding and I probably saw results within a month but I was going only once a week. Once I bumped it up to 2-3 times, I REALLY saw results. And planks, although they are like torture, are your best friend in the quest for a nice belly.
