Did you take your measurements before you started? I bet your body composition has changed a ton with all that muscle building exercise!

Everyday religiously!! Its a feedback loop that lets me know if I am drinking enough water. The key for me is being happy about the loss and seeing the small gains as opportunity to hone in on my behavior as well as celebrate muscle gain. I only update MFP with loss not gain because I am shooting for a goal and need to…

My mouth is on the floor in amazement! I have not words...

A salad with sliced of chicken on top!

All processed foods (Well 99% of them) No grains including corn No more peanut butter or beans of any kind The real question is what cheats do I still eat? Hormel Black Label Pre-cooked Bacon (only 1 minute and its done, too convenient to give up) Morningstar Farms Veggie Sausage Patties (too much protein to give up)…

Good question! I have resigned myself that my booty will always be my defining feature but it would be nice to see what the possibilities are.

So inspirational!

So I gave it a shot to make some that are Paleo friendly. They are so amazingly good!! Ingredients Throw all these in the food processer: Fresh Ground Almond Butter, 8 tablespoons Bob's Red Mill - All Natural Whey Protein Concentrate, 1 cup (20g) Splenda - Sweetener - 2 Packet Let's Do Organic - Coconut Flour, 8…

Thanks for the yummy recipe! I am not eating oats because they are a grain but I will see if I can monkey with the recipe to still make it work. Yum!

I hadn't measured them until now. You make me feel better with your measurements. Mine are 17" and my ankles 9.25"

I hate mine! With size 6 feet and these huge calves I can't ever wear tall boots. In highschool when I used to lift daily they got so big that I got stretch marks. Super gross!

Do you like popcorn and a movie! Thats how I get my IRON and I actually crave it because its so yummy! Recipe for Brewers Yeast Popcorn 1 large bowl of air popped popcorn (White is tastier than yellow corn) Drizzle warm olive oil over the popcorn to your desired amount (I like 3 Tbl regular with a Tbl of Garlic Olive Oil)…

I think a small cheat is okay here and there but I try to make them still fit into my calories with a little extra exercise. A whole cheat day would totally throw me off track. I hate the cravings so its worth it to keep myself away from processed crap and refined sugar as much as possible.

Stay away from processed foods and you won't have any issues.

Primal all the way!! Check out marksdailyapple.com Friend me if you do I would love to support you through it!

You look amazing and I can tell you are feeling it! You have that spark of confidence in your eyes!:wink:

1.5 C of Costco Rotissarie Chicken (Take Out!) 1 Cup Sauted Brussel Sprouts in 1 Tb Olive Oil with salt and pepper Mix of Raspberries, Blueberries, Strawberries over a little marscapone cheese and Fage Yogurt drizzeled with honey. Can't wait!! All of this and only 692 Cals, 21 Carbs, 31 Fat, and 73 Prot.

For anyone like me that had no idea what "MIM" meant: Muffin in a Minute (MIM) allowed on Atkins Induction (this is taken from an American site which is why the fibre is deducted) Serving Size: 1 1/4 cup flax meal (8.09 total carbs, 7.6 fiber) which is 30 grams in weight 1/2 teaspoon baking powder (0.64 net carbs) 1 packet…

Bump

Sounds like you are a carb binger like me. Best way to stop is not start. I have been Grain Free (no rice, no wheat, no corn, etc) for about 2 months now and my cravings are gone. I still have fruit and a sweet potato here and there but I don't feel like packing it in the way I used to. Check out marksdailyapple.com Good…

Can't wait to watch later!

Harness that hurt and use it in a positive way. We all have those moments where we have to accept where we are at. Mine was when a daycare teacher at my daughters school asked her in front of me "Are you gonna have a baby sister or brother?"...I wasn't pregnant! Its moments like these that broke my haze of acceptance and…

Here are some more recipes that I want to try! http://www.neohomesteading.com/

Make your own! So easy and you can put all your favorite stuff in! http://www.marksdailyapple.com/make-your-own-primal-energy-bars-in-10-easy-steps/#axzz1oThParD9 These ones are great but make sure you use fine sea salt instead of grinding your own. I also added chia seeds and goji berries to mine. They last a really long…

Advance logging works way better for me. I can adjust all my portions before I have ate them allowing me to really ensure that my macronutient ratios are right on!

I suggest getting yourself an HRM if you don't have one. I used the circuit training numbers for 30DS and they were off by about 70 Calories. In otherworks MFP was totally over estimating my spend and I was eating my exercise calories back.

Its truely amazing how rude people can be! Wish I could give you a hug! They are not worth your time and energy. Pick yourself up, dust your self off and leave them in your dust. Turn around that hurt into power!

At least someone around here is forward thinking and not stuck in la-la land.

FYI: They can be doctors and much more well rounded ones at that.

Take a look at all the years of research that Dr. Gerson has done. I am not saying a pill is the answer but if you have been eating total pesticide ridden crap for years I don't see how it can hurt.
