Yes exactley that is why I only do 20 min after that your body starts to break down muscle for energy, and yes I also weight train like bodybuilders, bodybuilding.com my fav site after this one of course. I have major muscle now just need fat gone to see it.

Thanks, yes I do agree their is no to much but I don't want to burn out either. I do have a protein shake after workouts only when strength training 3x a week with dextrose to get it to my muscle as fast as possible.

I had my gallbladder removed years ago, doc told me it was because of my heavy weight that I had gallstones and asked me when I was on the table if I ever thought of a gastric bypass. I just about cryed I was then 19yrs old with a husband and a 1 yr old. Went got the gallbladder removed and much better now. Best of luck.

YES. They are calling my along with all the others, and I have decided I will have some because I know if I do not for the next 2weeks I will be looking for every way to get candy. So for me better now and have some then later and have a ton. I understand we are all in weight loss mode but we will need to deal with these…

Look on bodybuilding.com and look up keto diet, this is what I do and yes it is a low carb, high fat, high protein diet.

I love it, you friends make me laugh. Laughing is good. :)

Funny I have not eaten wheat for the last 3 yrs, I did not die and my blood work looks AWSOME, doctor ran it twice because he could not believe it he thought they made a mistake. LOl

Actually I eat more primal, and I eat 5-6 times a day normally 5 on non gym days then 6 gym days because I consider my PWO shake a meal

I new I would have the few people telling me my fats are bad, I wish people would educate themselves before posting sometimes.

I am at 1490 cals a day and do a 30/65/5 p/f/c so 112g/108g/19g

I also am a cross between primal and keto eating, I eat very little grains, popcorn is my grain maybe once a week. Then I take a cheat day every 12-15days if I need it. My diary is open

I go with thongs, they are comfortable for me. My granny panties only come out once a month.

Yes I lift weight, heavy weights 3x a week and cardio after that for 20 min.

No it is not typical, actually here is a little backround, I started in Dec 2009 and did a program that is low carb, low fat, low cals under doctor supervision. So I was eating for that program 800-1000 cals/day, under 100g carbs normally around 70-80g, protein was at 110g, and fat was at 20g. That is how I lost all my…

How do I get carbs down to 50g and eat enough calories? I agree with the sodium, just trying to tweak it to start losing again. Thanks so far keep them coming.

Don't use it, I used to be obsessive about my scale I don't use it, I use the mirror and the measuring tape.

Yes depending on how much you want to lose per week. I also have a bodybugg and love it.

I have not taken after photos I did take almost their photos, but yes I do flex my abs and straighten the shoulders but this is because I walk around like this all the time it is how we are supposed to look a lot of us slouch and have bad posture and bad posture makes us look heavier then we are. It was hard to do this for…

I guess it depends on what you think a fad diet is, me I decided after a lot of research to eat primal for my life style and lost all my weight doing that of course with some cheat days or months in their. But hey we are human.

I use extra dessert gum, yummy and mints because I don't want to eat anything after a mint.

Just remember you can not spot reduce and flat bellies are made in the kitchen not the gym, you won't see any abs no matter what if their is still fat over them just need to decrease the body fat %. I am also working on this and yes it is hard. I can feel my abs under the fat but cannot see them.

I think it depends on the person. Some people cannot handle it but others can. I drink it in my one diet pop for the week. Personally I think as long as you are not having it by the gallons or in everything once in a while is ok.

Yes I am too, love to read the articles and talk to people.

That looks good, yummy!!!

I did read that article, I also thought it was very interesting. I am just not sure about the calories eaten and maybe that is my problem, do I eat enough? I was thinking of trying what they said in the article it is a little confusing, I just don't want my whole day to seem like I am thinking about what to eat all the…

I agree that even if you are skinny you may not be healthy, even when I was 262lbs my blood work was great no high blood pressure or high cholesterol or any of that. I just stayed the same weight didn't gain didn't lose. But I am happy with my weight loss, it's all about what makes you happy and yes it is not fair that…

Thanks for getting the pic to work, she does not have much definition but coming from where I was I think this is a good goal. I still cannot see any abs but I can feel them under all my fat, so one day I may be able to see them, I hope. I really don't think anyone wants to see my underwear pics, they are scary

I could nor copy the pic but here is my idol, Michelle Rodriguez she does not have to much definition but I think she is one he'll of a good looking bad *kitten* http://www.celebrity-pictures.ca/Celebrities/Michelle-Rodriguez/Michelle-Rodriguez-25.JPG

You will be fine just make sure to drink plenty of water to help the body with the extra protein, I eat at least my weight in grams of protein so 150g a day.
