in Introduce Yourself
My name is Jack, I just joined today not too long ago. I started working out at the beginning of this month and lost 20 pounds. i do plan to keep on going. I was sick and tired of looking the way i do, being turned down by girls and feeling like crap. I wanted to make a change and do something about it. I started going to the rush fitness at midnight almost every night. if i didnt feel like going i would just jog around my apartment complex for an hour. i totally changed the way i ate too, by actually eating! i would often skip breakfast and lunch and have a big dinner. it shot my metabolism. i now eat frequent smaller meals, and my god let me tell you i get a crazy hunger. i dont let it get the best of me though, I must stay in control. I must keep going, yeah, I want a girlfriend of course, but i'm doing this for my health! I wanna feel healthy again. and so far I can feel i'm getting there. my stamina is up, I feel strong again and I am able to fit somewhat comfortably in my race car again haha. a friend of mine named Dena suggested I sign up for this, because apparently, I am motivating her! :P it's great that I could be of help to anyone. but hey, why not motivate a few more people as well. feel free to add me as a friend, I can use even more motivation!

    This site is awesome I been using it for the last few months and have lost almost 40 pounds it def makes you more aware of everything you put in your mouth.

    The reason you're crazy hungry now is because your ghrellin levels have increased (the hormone controlling hunger) due to frequent feeding. Believe it or not, your metabolism isn't determined by how often you eat. You can certainly eat 2-3 HUGE meals and still lose weight. I'm working with IF right now, and it's going well.

    Good luck with your goals man. Keep it up.
