Gulp. "Die-off effect?"
Hooray for your Mom!
I doubt that I can progress "far faster." I've been exercising regularly for three months now, and I have flexibility, a bit more alertness, and slightly better posture. That's all. I haven't lost any weight, and the fit of my clothes indicates that I haven't lost any inches, either.
The one time I made an attempt (about a month ago) to ramp up to a more intense level, I mildly sprained my ankle--but I didn't have to stop exercising; I was able to work around it.
I have started doing some strange little exercises that combine isometrics with stretching in an interesting way, and the way I think it's going, perhaps three to five months from now I might be ready for a severely modified pushup or two.
I am so out of shape that it's scary, but if it takes three years to get into decent shape, so be it. Then your mom and I can run a footrace. :-)

Edith,
one the HG diet you will find that you will cut out the source of toxins and the gut will heal itself. Be aware that you might experience the "die off effect" as poor bacteria dies aff and fight for thier lives. It passes quickly, but I found that for people I know acidopholious pills are better as the milk sugars can incourage the bacterial growth.
for 6 years I pressed my mom to work out. For some reason known only to her, and to her credit completely to my suprise, one day she callled me with questions.

Im sure you can advance far faster, If you want to. But begin with a comfortable level, keeeping always in mmind that this workout is not to last 2 weeks or months or years, but the rest of your life. Your muscles and body will suprise you with thier desire to progress. Follow them, not MuscleHead Magazine.
