I try to eat right after a workout, giving my body good protein.

Very Good job, Thats the way to reach back to your history (USMC) and get the job done. Semper Fi

I would bet you are putting on muscle, get a tape measure out. Keep up the good work a fit body looks better then a skinny one.

This is a great site, Thank you

Are you working as hard as you can doing the P90?. Don't forget to get enough recovery time.:smile:

Have you noticed that you are getting stronger? Muscle weaighs more then fat, you may want to use a tape measure.. This gain could be a combination of things. Keep up the good work.

I agree with aareeyesee, don't get a gel seat get fitted to your bike and wear padded bike shorts. I take cliff bars with me on my rides and also drink Gatorade. Have fun during the ride Make sure to stretch after.

You do not have to eat all the cals. Just make sure you are getting additional when you exercise.

Give your knee a rest for a couple of days

Congrats and good luck

Very interesting

This is tough question, I just had a conversation about this with someone that knows more about it then me. In short if you are doing alot heavy lifting you may need more protein. If you are doing a lot of cardio you may need carbs. Timing can also be very important as the body may need protein for muscle building, it may…

Better written then most of the BS in the fitness mags. If you write more I will read it. :-)

Go to the gym and work hard try different things. Most people that work out will respect someone who is working hard. Those that don't are fools and I wouldn't worry about fools. Keep working and do it for you. Good luck

3.1 lbs will be hard to keep up. But congrats on your first week and keep working hard no matter what the scale says.

Chicken fajitas made with Corn Tortilles easy on the oil, no cheese or sour cream. No chips I use the salsa on the Fajitas.

Maybe your whole family could cut back. I am sure it would be good for everyone. Can you replace some of the sweets with a serving of fruit.

Congrats, Good job

Cut down, not out. Follow the guide lines on here and you will lose. Exercise, Eat less, Eat healthy and Exercise.

From all the research I have seen the answer is NO. Your body is going drop weight all over and in some cases not where you want it. My personal feeling is you don't need the sweat band. Just exercise hard and long enough that the sweat starts dripping. What you can do to help make the problem areas look better is tone…

Get back on track and exercise, if you had Tommy Europe as your trainer he would give you a butt kicking :-)

You may want to split your workouts up. Arms one day Legs another, abs or some kind of mix. Your muscles do need time to heal. Each workout tears the micro-fibers of the muscle and then they need to heal.

That is great.:happy:

Wow,,,, 15lbs is ok for someone who is much heavier like when I was 270lbs. You can go for it but it is a very big goal. I have done some cleanses and it may help. Main thing is to eat good foods watch the cals and do a lot of cardio. Good luck

I am so proud of myself. Today I rode a 50Km bike ride. I am also proud of losing all the weight I have lost. MFP is great, what makes it great is people like Jeannie who start such a motivating post.

Great job. keep up the good work. I don't know about your asthma case but my sister-in-law was diagnosed with it then another Doctor put her on the South Beach diet and her breathing has gotten better. Keep up the good work

I am so happy :happy: It is great having her support and being with her as she does this.: :love:

I use this protein, its a good quality ISO Whey protein, it goes to the muscle quickly and taste good.

stupid spellcheck on my computer.... I meant metabolism:laugh:

I have stopped drinking Caffeine. It messes with digestion and materialism.
