Congrats! I'm 4 days in and I was experiencing some of those symptoms... I read that replacing your body's electrolytes really, really helps... so I upped my salt intake and I feel better. I also ordered some sugar-free electrolytes to add to my water.

Yeah... I'm doing Atkins. I'm just in the induction phase... one week into it... but I feel great.

Thanks!

Sounds great! Matthew MacIntosh Current Weight: 176.5 Goal Weight: 160 After 90 days, I hope to hit my goal of 160 pounds/roughly 12% body fat.

Thanks for your thoughts, everybody!

I'm almost a raw vegan... if you don't count all the meat and dairy.

Damn you, reality!! Oh well, I guess for now, until I reach my goal, it's going to be fat free spray.

You're in the right place!! This is such a great community! Best of luck to you! If you'd like, feel free to add me as a friend. I'd love to see how you progress over time. You've got a great journey ahead of you!

Congratulations!

Since other guys have weighed in, I say... GO FOR IT! If guys are allowed to date younger women, why shouldn't y'all have some fun as well? It's funny... I've dated 12 years older and 15 years younger... and I've found that age doesn't always correlate to maturity. Sure, there are differences in life stages, but if you…

Dear God!!! Re-read the original post!!! That's exactly what the guy was saying all along. Volume for volume muscle weighs more than fat! It's all in there!!!

Of course you don't understand. Now... does a ton of idiots weigh more than a gaggle of ****tards of equal volume?

No way, dude! Newton was wrong. The earth is resting on the back of a gigantic tortoise... and it's TURTLES ALL THE WAY DOWN! Seriously, thanks for this very articulate and thoughtful explanation. I love that the very first reply is someone saying, "No! That makes no sense! A pound of muscle is the same weight as a pound…

Nope -- decimal isn't in the wrong place... I changed the original figure from dollars to cents, so I moved the decimal point over two spaces. It's .0075833 dollars... which makes it .75833 cents.

PS: I'm glad to know there are people out there who appreciate my strange sense of humor! It is interesting, though, to actually consider how valuable storing fat must have been for our ancestors, wandering the Kalahari desert where the human race began. Like so many of our traits, they don't translate so well to surviving…

Yeah, you do sound like a cheap *kitten*... but it's okay, my *kitten* it getting less and less cheap every day. In fact, come to think of it, my *kitten* probably isn't worth much at all... I carry it in my belly... my $540 belly. :smile:

I had that problem too! I was was starving constantly. Here's what worked for me.... I find exercise helps... I burn about 500 per day doing cardio... and interestingly enough, I find that I'm not 500 calories hungrier... if that makes sense. Another thing that helps is avoiding simple sugars (pastries, candy, etc.) and…

I'm hypoglycemic... which is more or less the opposite of Diabetes/pre-diabetes... but the way to control it is identical. A higher protein, lower carb diet works well for both conditions because it doesn't cause a spike in blood-sugar... when your blood-sugar spikes, your pancreas struggles to produce enough insulin to…

Yup! I gained the freshman 15 and never took it off... but I'm trying to get back to the weight I was my senior year of high school. Now is the time to do it... get it off and keep it off! Feel free to add me if you'd like. I'm happy to be friends with anyone who is serious about their weight loss. This is a great…

Good luck! This site/app is amazing... tons of supportive people and great tools. The calorie counting makes it so simple and the support of others is vital. Best of luck to you + feel free to add me!

I'm lovin' the love! This is a great place. Feel free to add me as well.

Me too! Sounds great.

Thanks!

Thank you! You, too! How's this site been working out for you?

Hey there! I love you enthusiasm! I discovered this site/app a month ago and I've lost 10 pounds... I'd lost 25 pounds on my own but I just got stuck and it took me a lot longer than doing it with this site. I've got another 20 pounds to go until I'm at a 12% body fat... which is athlete level for a man. Can't wait!

Welcome! This is a great place to lose weight!

You can totally do it! This site makes it easy... especially if you download the app for your smart phone. Stay connected to the community and get your friend on board with your weight loss.
