That can be such a scary thing! My sister also went through it, so I do feel for you. Since I'm not qualified to really do much more, I found these links that may give you a decent start on keeping your nutrition up with recipes and snacks. Hope this helps a little; may give you some direction to start with.…

sandryc79 and ceoverturf both asked multiple questions that may help her/him or others assist you sort through your current dilemma, and are 'seconded' here. @TimothyFish: The OP said nothing about her intake or exercise habits, let alone anything else that could be a contributing factor, so you really don't know for a…

I'm not with any 'group' of CrossFitters, but have become interested recently and have checked out some of the WODs for my own information that I'd be happy to send you via an email if you want. If more CrossFit enthusiasts show up here, add me to the group! :wink:

I don't use Stronglifts, per se, but I do weights and bodyweight lifting more than any other routine (and I do like the straightforward manner Mehdi takes - therefore, I do check out his site for useful information).

Feel free to correct me if my math was off... ;)

266# to 182# (approx) is a great achievement and something to be proud of! I like your list of things that worked for you. You don't have to go for a serious 5x5 or bulk/cut cycle. I'm one of those that leans much more toward strength training of some sort than cardio activities, such as running, but it's because the more…

A virus can make us all crap out sometimes. Along with having the kidlet plus two and other required duties of life, a virus can put us in a place where we're just feeling wiped out before even starting - even after you're over the illness.
