I'm not an expert on weight loss. But I believe if you maintain calorie intake < calorie consumption, you should lose weight gradually.
How much weight did you gain? If it's within 1-2 Kg, I will ignore it.
One thing I read is that you should try to weigh yourself once a week at the same time (for example Saturday morning right after getting up).
And please have confidence that as long as you do the right things (eat well, exercise), eventually you will see results. Weight loss is not about rushing to the finishing line, but rather about getting into a healthy eating /exercising habit that you can comfortably stick to forever. i have seen many people lose a lot of weight and then put more back on. It gives the body shocks and puts it into imbalance.
Keep trying. And trust yourself and trust your body. [此贴子已经被作者于2012/5/4 10:24:37编辑过]
It's true. You have already picked the low hanging fruits, and incremental progress will be harder.
But once you reach your desired state, maintaining it will be easier.
I guess it's like learning many things: easy at the very beginning. Then it gets harder. And after a lot of time and effort you master it and it becomes easy again...
以下是引用KAMom在5/4/2012 10:20:00 AM的发言： My leg muscles got bigger after exercise with Jung Dayeon for ~10 times, now I use Callan AM to stretch after cardio, it feels very good.
Glad to hear :-) Before Callanetics, I hated stretching and never did it. Now I love it.
And it seems that almost half of the one hour video is stretching. That's also why when I saw it the first time I thought Callanetics was easy.

I'm leavning tomorrow for a business trip. Will be back in 2 weeks. Probably I'll be absent most of time during these two weeks. Please keep exercising!
I packed workout clothes this time. I will try to hit the gym 3 times a week at the hotel.

1） There is only 1 group of stomach exercise (the 400 repeats), so how does the ab get tighter? Are there other exercises that also work on ab muscle?
2) In addition to Callanetics, do I also need to do more abs such as crunches to get strong ab muscle?
2) Has anyone done the super callanetics? When do I know that I am ready for it?
Thank you!

I cannot follow the video at all! I have to take a rest every 20 counts. The book says "If you feel a burning sensation in muscles after you have done 25 or 30 repetitions when instructions say you are to do one hundred, stop what you are doing and shift your position. This may mean your muscles are't strong enough yet. Try to work on the opposite side , so that your muscle can rest." Another part also caught my attention: "I start students with 100 of each exercise." As each section of muscle is strengthened, you may feel that you are starting all over again and can only do a fourth of that you did before, because your muscles are working more deeply. You have progressed to another level. Keep going. Soon you will be able to do the full number again." I think we should do it at our own pace, as long as we do 400 counts in total. By the way, I really need to spend more time on doing the exercise than reading the book. :) [此贴子已经被作者于2012/5/8 23:15:18编辑过]

It takes time to build your strength to follow that speed, for me, it really took like 2 months before I got a hang of what it feels like. But not matter how many I could do at the beginning, I could still see the result which motivated me to continue it. Now, what challenge me the most is the pelvic floor rotation that makes me wonder if I am getting it in the correct form, my thigh muscle is toooo weak. [此贴子已经被作者于2012/5/9 7:53:00编辑过]

This sounds interesting. Makes sense. I think I should also go back to 一口气做完所有的动作 --- It's true: it feels the best when I do the whole hour

弱弱地问下... 我柔韧性很差，腿部那几个动作筋扯得生疼还是做不到位... 是放弃不做呢 还是改下动作呢？... 谢谢了
今天第一次做，感觉很多动作做不到位... 做完大腿酸，肚子现在还在发热。这个应该是正常的吧？说明有效果吧？... 呼呼... 这个夏天坚持做这个看看能不能把肚子练的紧实一点...

扯得疼？是不是扯得太厉害了，轻一点，到极限但不要伤到自己，我就是这样的，不要对自己太狠了，受伤了不值得。
加油。

恩 稍微偷工减料下看看... 我没想怎么减重 就想紧实一点...
连卡兰真的不减肥，我这一个月好像体重都没动，就是结实了。 我还有走步呢。 对我来说，熊掌真不可兼得啊！
只要身体线条出来，看不出嘟嘟着的赘肉，体重秤上的数字是多少我都不care：）
以下内容需要魅力达到500才可以浏览
去年其实就大概看过睡香香的帖子，但一直不知道兰卡是什么，看了版上几位mm的照片，动力大大的增强啊 今

我感觉卡兰真是塑身的，从后边看成果很明显。
[此贴子已经被作者于2012/4/27 16:20:33编辑过]

最近见我的人说我瘦了，但是体重没有什么变化。卡兰树上说，有些人还长体重。
我在想：大体重的人，比如我，是不是应该先减体重再来塑身？但是现在好像晚了点，我已经迷上卡兰了。

That is what I think. too much fat....... lose some fat first......
lzmm, 因为这个楼，我也从以前单纯的跑步改成跑步加卡兰了，希望有理想的效果。只是刚开始做卡兰，那个stomach的动作真的很打击我，我觉得做这个时脑袋眩晕充血的感觉远远大于腹部肌肉紧绷的酸胀的感觉，很难坚持到100.
Hi qiaqiaqiaqqq MM, welcome! Most people have problem finishing 100 at the beginning. So it's normal. 脑袋眩晕充血: if too serious, you should rest a bit and try again. Don't push yourself if you are experiencing uncomfort other than muscle pain.
另外做the behind and hips 的第一个动作，我做起来很容易，让我怀疑自己是不是没做到位。
looks like 没做到位. Because even when you have very strong muscle, you could still push your muscle harder and make it difficult.
但the behind and hips第二个动作做得时候能看到我大腿的肉在抖，不知道这样是不是正确的呢？希望mm能帮我解惑，谢谢mm：）
This one I'm not sure. The key is that you feel the muscle on your butt work hard. you can put one hand on the muscle to see it's working.
+U+U
腹部那个动作，按她说的要把肩膀拉开，下巴触到身体下面的锁骨位置，把手放开，但是胳膊位置不要动，这样几个动作定格，脖子就不会感到特别累了，试试看。
Good advice!
我要来报个到！
生完娃两年了。当时体重4个月后就回到孕前状态，但是身材彻底走样。仍然能穿0号的衣服裤子，可是裤腰附近都是赘肉，大腿都是橘皮。
为了消灭我的颤巍巍的小肚腩和腰上的两坨肉，我要努力！！！
Understand your situation completely. Most of us went through the same :-)
今天第一次跟着callan 10hr的录像做运动，感觉差距太大了！！！！！
她的腹部运动要停100sec，可是我觉得脖子眼睛比肚皮要疼。而且可能是腹肌无力吧，肩胛骨根本都抬离不开地面，她说后背要放松，可我基本上是靠着后背撑着的。
腿部的运动也是很别扭。
我不懂，她是斜坐在地上，要把胯骨转一下，膝盖向前，然后用臀部和腿后侧肌肉使劲保持位置么？
I think so.
我如果要把腿伸直抬高的话，一定是膝盖向上的位置。不知道这个动作怎么达成呢？
总之除了第一部分warm up以外，对我都是挑战呀。。。。
At the beginning it's hard. on the other hand it's also the period you see the biggest progress. So +U!
[此贴子已经被作者于2012/4/24 13:41:12编辑过]
我觉得无论练什么，坚持就会有效果。
Totally agree. This is also the most important learning I got from this board.
The key is to find an exercise routine that I can really enjoy and stick to!

This part I recommend you to keep doing (with any exercise actually). The stretching helps avoid injury, and pulls your muscle into long and lean shape. It also makes your body flexible and young.
今天第三个小时。老公表扬说肚子不是以前那种嘟嘟的了。。。
Very fast results! This is the best --- this way it makes you motivated. without quick effect, its easy to be skeptical and lose interest.
只要身体线条出来，看不出嘟嘟着的赘肉，体重秤上的数字是多少我都不care：）
This I totally agree.
Weight is just a number. You're the only one who knows how much you weigh. Everybody else only sees how you look.
The mirror and a pair of pants are better measures than the scale :-)

天发个帖子，记录一下，希望一个月后来检测自己的运动成果。
Height：170cm
Current-----------Goal
Weight:126.5lb-----------110lb
Waist: 72cm -------------63cm
Hip: 87cm -------------没概念，翘一点就好
Thigh: 50cm --------------42cm
Above the knee: 32.5cm --没概念
calf: 33cm--------------30cm
记得当初刚来美国的时候只有106lb,在国内也基本没发胖过，一直都很瘦。可是这资本主义国家的食物就是养人啊，尽管我吃中餐占90%，但体重最高达到150lb. 经过了几个朋友的打击，洗心革面，，去年瘦了20lb，但有一大部分是心情所致。可以从上述数据分析出来，我这个人不太胖腿的部分，只是腰很粗，但我想这可能和基因有关，因为我从小就没有出现过细腰，一直被我妈称为水桶腰。希望通过兰卡有所改善，望贴里的JM监督我！

Welcome 2008mimi!
I remember I also gained 10 lbs first year in the US (chocolate and cookies). +U!
能不能双管齐下，减重塑形同步进行？比如控制饮食加卡兰，或者做点瘦身运动加卡兰？
Also recommend 减重塑形同步进行. I think you can
1. Eat well (maybe a little less, but not < 1200 cal/day.) Find a healthy way of eating that you can do for the rest of your life.
2. Cardio to burn calorie and lose weight
3. Callan or weight training to 塑形
今天第四个小时，有几个之前根本做不了100下的动作，今天咬咬牙也能勉强做到了：）
Congrats! :-)
Thanks! I am lucky to be in the camp of "easily thin".
上周三下班后去出差。晚上到酒店，就奔健身房了。没有人打扰，整晚时间都是自己的，真是奢侈。踩了30分钟自行车，练了整套卡兰。真舒服。可是临走的时候有点冷。
晚上睡觉被子太厚，觉得口干舌噪。早上醒来就整个的感冒症状。本来想出去晨练的，放弃了。坚持着把一天的事做下来，基本可以用苟延残喘来形容。下午回家路上已经是高烧了。
周五好些了，做了椭圆机。周六也做了，可感觉不好，特别吃力，和通常的疲劳感不同。周日出去一天，回来已经没有时间了。
这个星期要重新开始！
周末这几天没做卡兰，但是基本都做了伸展那部分，过敏加感冒，所以给了自己理由放纵，并且猛吃。希望明天继续。

最近大家注意身体啊，我们办公室的人轮流感冒生病，我要顶住
My husband also got sick yesterday with fever...
第七个小时。。。。。。。。
Great! +U!
本来今天要完成全套的，但2个小家伙看我在地上运动的部分就开始在我身上爬来爬去的，结果只完成了伸展和腹部。
My son does the same :-). If I do the stomach, he climbs on me. If I do the legs, he comes and holds my legs. It's impossible with he is around.
今天总算10/20做了！ ：））
Great job!
我每天都坚持做卡兰，外加跑步或者快走2 miles，为什么我体重没下降反而上升了
Weight fluctuates depending on the time of day, type of food you just ate, your monthly cycle, etc.
How about your clothes? Are they getting looser or tighter?
PMS。尽量休息好，坚持锻炼，多吃麦片和香蕉，而且每天补钙。

我每天早晨都会称体重。自我感觉好像看上去瘦了，但是没有量过，我想等到10次以后再量。吃的方面我也在控制，就是不理解为什么会增重呢，我在想是不是需要一个过程先增肥再减肥呢？
谢谢MM的推荐，觉得很适合我的体型，改善下半身的曲线。今天开始了第一个hour，做的是那个10in10最基本的，很多动作都做不到位，希望能够慢慢提高。
Yes. Slowly, slowly... Hope you like it.

My leg muscles got bigger after exercise with Jung Dayeon for ~10 times, now I use Callan AM to stretch after cardio, it feels very good.
Glad to hear :-) Before Callanetics, I hated stretching and never did it. Now I love it.
And it seems that almost half of the one hour video is stretching. That's also why when I saw it the first time I thought Callanetics was easy.
Will do a bit of Callanetics later.
tomorrow I will leave for the airport at 11am. Hope to do crosstrainer in the morning before I leave.

I have the book " 10 years younger in 10 hours".
I found two parts related to your first question.
It says "You are working on you upper stomach muscles first, Also your hips are pulling in and your behind is rising. Keep working. All of a sudden your abdominal muscles will catch up with the rest of you newly-firm body and be beautifully flat."
It also says: If you have weak stomach muscles, the contractions will begin under your bustline. The stronger , more relaxed these muscles are, the higher you will be able to pull your shoulders and upper body, which will result in deeper, lower contractions of the stomach and abdomen."
之前我曾经认为既然每个动作都是把特定的肌肉群分别出来，所以不做全套，只坚持做一个动作也是会有效果的，比如腹部的。
但是书上写着，“if you want with all your heart to get rid of your thunder thighs and think you can do only the exercises for the behind and hips and have your dream come true, you are only fooling yourself. Follow the program as it is written. That works”
之前我曾经跳过其他步，做了10几次腹部，效果并不大。
我的理解是，可以一口气做完所有的动作最好。不能的话，可以今天做这个，明天做那个，但是不能一直只做一个。

I have the book " 10 years younger in 10 hours".
I found two parts related to your first question.
It says "You are working on you upper stomach muscles first, Also your hips are pulling in and your behind is rising. Keep working. All of a sudden your abdominal muscles will catch up with the rest of you newly-firm body and be beautifully flat."
It also says: If you have weak stomach muscles, the contractions will begin under your bustline. The stronger , more relaxed these muscles are, the higher you will be able to pull your shoulders and upper body, which will result in deeper, lower contractions of the stomach and abdomen."
之前我曾经认为既然每个动作都是把特定的肌肉群分别出来，所以不做全套，只坚持做一个动作也是会有效果的，比如腹部的。

谢谢你的详细的解释，这也是我一直疑惑的问题：可不可以只做几个动作而不是全套。 看来还是不能偷懒，必须全做。

我现在晚上和小家伙们一起就睡着了，早上就醒得早，然后先伸展一下，顺势就做完了。有时候也不行，只能做一部分。

姐妹们，stomach部分我跟不上视频的节奏啊，她那里数完100下，我这里才哼哧哼哧五六十下呢。。。大家有没有和我一样情况的呀？而且这部分四个动作全做的话，大家都能每个动作都做100次吗？我原来以为多练习一段时间就能按要求完成400次，但我现在练十几个小时了，还是做不到。。
I cannot follow the video at all! I have to take a rest every 20 counts.
The book says "If you feel a burning sensation in muscles after you have done 25 or 30 repetitions when instructions say you are to do one hundred, stop what you are doing and shift your position. This may mean your muscles are't strong enough yet. Try to work on the opposite side , so that your muscle can rest."
Another part also caught my attention:
"I start students with 100 of each exercise." As each section of muscle is strengthened, you may feel that you are starting all over again and can only do a fourth of that you did before, because your muscles are working more deeply. You have progressed to another level. Keep going. Soon you will be able to do the full number again."
I think we should do it at our own pace, as long as we do 400 counts in total.
By the way, I really need to spend more time on doing the exercise than reading the book. :)

It takes time to build your strength to follow that speed, for me, it really took like 2 months before I got a hang of what it feels like. But not matter how many I could do at the beginning, I could still see the result which motivated me to continue it. Now, what challenge me the most is the pelvic floor rotation that makes me wonder if I am getting it in the correct form, my thigh muscle is toooo weak.

这周前四天每天都到健身房，骑自行车，因为可以边骑边看东西。卡兰只做了stretching
今天去中国了，应该十几天上不了华人。大家继续努力。LZ没有弃楼，今后几天也会坚持练卡兰的。。。
抓时间上来看看。。。

This sounds interesting. Makes sense. I think I should also go back to 一口气做完所有的动作 --- It's true: it feels the best when I do the whole hour
14/20 完成！
Great job! You inspire me :-)

谢谢谢谢：）mm真是个爱钻研的人：）
好像vedio前面的字幕还是她的讲解里面说到，他们在vedio里面的速度是中级水平的，所以刚开始做的时候尽力就行，按自己的速度做到100下
讲解里说follow your own pace.但如果我不按照视频的进度，就得做完往回倒视频，我好懒啊，就直接跟着往下做了。。。
5:12 ： 16/20
5:13: 17/20
5:14: 18/20
