I understand what personal trainers are for, and if they are good, they do have a good amount of knowledge. But if you are paying for motivation, it only works if you make it to the gym. Many of the gyms (say like LA fitness) make you pay up front for the trainers, and if you stop going, you still have to pay. ive seen trainers stand there in front of someone they were training, eating something while watching them do the excersize....or socializing while they were doing the excersize....and by the end, I didnt even see them work up a sweat. So how motivating is that? Im not bashing all trainers, but what the main problem is, that people (mostly americans) have gotten so lazy, that they have to pay people to "motivate" them. Point is, if you want something, you have to rely on youreself, not someone else. And what was "off based" about my comments?

As far as Zerona, I said that it is not to be used to offset a persons lazyness, but for those who hit a plateu and cannot lose the fat no matter how hard they workout, this may be a good push over that hump, as you are forcing the inside of the fat cells to be accessed. And thats where the excersize and drinking water come in. Both of these are important and can have their own affects by themselves, but what was brought up here, is that you have to excersize to but the "energy" that is being released by the cells, and drink plenty of water to flush the byproducts out of your body so they dont get reabsorbed byt the cells. I cant make in any simpler to undersatand.
