 Posted: 05/31/06 - 17:39 Post subject: This program just ain't working for me. UPDated!
This is what a lady said to me yesterday.  She is suppose to be coming in 5 days a week doing an hour of higher intensity cardio. She signed up the first of the year cuz she is in a wedding THIS SUMMER and is also going on a tropical vacation and thinks she looks like crap(she does) in a swimming suit. She needs to lose about 50 lbs at least. SHE'S BEEN IN THE GYM TWICE THIS YEAR!  
She wants to sit down with me and discuss her program and why it ain't working. Since I'm not good at subtle according to you guys, what might I tell her??!!  She's in her mid 20's.
Help.me.

No advice, but I would pay big money to be there to observe.

well, I would bring your work out schedule, and ask her to show you yours, and then compare notes.
That ought to make her shut up, and most likely quit anyway.

If you have it somewhere on paper that says the program needs to be done 5 times a week and then ask her how many times has she been in? The face slap needs to be gentle I think.

The Shelfmeister is right.
Workout includes the word WORK
You don't lose the weight by coming in once and then sit on your azz and eat bon bons...

 at the same time emphasize that what's done is done, don't harbor on it, just move forward and begin the program today, day 1. If she starts today, she'll look better mid summer than she would if she didn't start today.

as tempting as it may be to slap her upside her head, i'd do what pf is suggesting. if she feels guilt on top of slacking, she's doomed.
this program isn't working for me.....FOR ME.  what happened to me working for it????????? geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze.

this is why I don't work in a customer service-oriented field, or as a teacher - I always think a bish-slap to the head works the best. Even tho I know it's not appropriate. My favorite prof in college was the one everybody else hated b/c he wasn't afraid to answer questions with "had you done the assigned reading, you wouldn't be asking such a stupid question" 
How did it go?
