I am going to give her one more week of just cardio to help her get used to having SOME activity in her life.
The weight training will begin in one week and will consist of a full body circuit style approach for approx. 30 mins. She will do this 3 days/week.
That is my plan as of now but if there is a better option I am definately open to advice. Thanks again.

She can lose a TON of weight just with heavy deads/squats.... with minimal cardio. You would be surprised how much some heavy lifting can do.

Thanks ...I was definately not going to be THAT guy but I never really considered real heavy reps either.
Considering what kind of effort is required to move large amounts of weight it makes sense that you would progress rapidly that way.
Thanks again everyone for all the help...
EDIT: We will be checking our progress this evening and then starting weight training tomorrow.Last edited by CanadianGhost; 04-16-2006 at 05:20 PM.

Week #2
Week 1 of our log complete and we are now entering week #2
Monday April 17 '06
Original Weight: 265 lbs
Current Weight: 263 lbs
Calories: 2600
Cardio: Bike 45 mins twice daily, 5 days/week @60-70% Max Rate
Supplements: Whey Protein, ECA 2x's daily, Multi Vitamin,
10 gms Glutamine
Weight Training: Full body Circuit Training 3x's / week for approx. 30 mins / session. Target rep range 10-15 reps.
Not a bad week and progress was made.
We are now beginning weight training and glutamine has been added to the diet.
It will be interesting to see next weeks results as this past week she was having a visit from here ahem "lady friend" which she has said she usually puts on weight during.
Thanks again to all involved and any advice or useful criticism is appreciated.
