I've been doing Bar Method classes 4-5 times a week since last April. I definitely see a difference and people tell me that they see a huge difference. I was really out of shape when I started and now I am much much stronger. Many years ago I was a professional ballet dancer so my body responds well to this type of…

Thank you for responding. I do have a mild allergy to gluten. The binging started when I made the decision to stop gluten. It is defiantly psychological.

I was JUST about to post about this!!!! I was on a very low dose steroid for 4 weeks and didn't think it could possibly impact my weight. During that time I was working out very hard and was eating very clean and....nothing. My weight didn't budge and I actually went up a pound. I stopped it last Wednesday and since then I…

She was projecting her own lack of discilpline onto to you. She wanted you to feel about yourself the way she feels about herself: bad and out of control. The way to handle it? Try to remind yourself that she is projecting and it had nothing to do with you. You didn't mention your relationship with this woman but she…

Very impressive! As a guy you need more protien, right? I'm going to try to up the protien to 90 grams. It is hard for me to get that much because I cant stand shakes. I guess it will be a lot more egg whites for me.

I'm finally doing this for the reward of feeling like myself again. It just clicked for me about 2 months ago. I have been through a very rough time and have been very stuck and not knowing where to go. I realized that I have to feel like myslef in order to get in touch with who I am and what I want out of my life. That's…

I'm doing lots and lots of toning work...the muscles are tight and the skin/fat over them are jiggly :(

I thought that the ketoses reaction was only when doing very low carb (I'm not doing that now but have in the past) so I didn't think of that. Maybe that is the reason for the BO...

Thank you everyone for the advice and feedback!

Thank you for the advice! I have had my thyroid checked over and over because I wasn't loosing weight and it is "perfect"...

Ok, thank you for the advice.

Do you have access to a treadmill? I don't run now but at one point in my life I got into running and the way I did it was I walked on the treadmill for 10 minutes, then I jogged as long as I could which, to start with, was about 20 seconds! Then I went back to walking for another 10 minutes. The next day I decided to try…

It is my term for that feeling...like all of the fuel to my brain has been drained out. It is exactly like the experience you describe.

Ok, this is a little out there but it is free and it is harmless. I was introduced to something called EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) and, at first, I thought it was absurd. However, it has really really helped with my extreme anxiety. Google it and give it a try...it is odd but it has worked for me.

There is a website where you can upload a photo and then apply a weight-loss to see what you will look like. It might be fun to try http://makeovr.com/weightmirror/

There is an electrolyte drink mix called Ultimo It is all natural and low calorie. I buy it at Whole Foods. Works wonders to rehydrate.

Were you having trouble losing before you stopped the gluten?

I put on 80 pounds and couldn't figure out why. After FIVE years of MD visits my micronutrients were tested and they found out that I was severely D deficient. I started to supplement and I dropped about 35 pounds within a couple of months. Now I am having trouble taking off the rest. D is actually a co-hormone and thyroid…

First of all, congratulations on the 70 pound weight loss! One of my many diet books (I can't remember which one) recommended completely switching your diet for a couple of weeks to get through a plateau. The theory is that it shocks your body because your body has become accustomed to what you are eating. So, if you have…

I had similar issues after having my daughter. The best advice I can give you is to get your micronutrients tested. Not all MDs know the need to do this test. When I finally went to a MD who ordered it, i found out that I had some severe vitamin deficiencies. When I began to supplemt, I lost 35 pounds very quickly. I still…

All I was asking about is if anyone else got light headed at the beginning of their diet and if so, if it got better.

for the stomach...have you tried the Plank exercise? Google it to get the basics and then more advanced work. Many fitness trainers swear by it to flatten the stomach. I've been doing it every day for a week, holding it for a little longer each day and I already feel my abs tighter and flatter...now I just have to lose the…

First of all, congratulations!!! The first few weeks after you deliver can be a bit rough. Make sure you have healthy food in the house so when you need to grab something quickly there are healthy options. I was so tired that I just wanted sugar (which I never ate before) and carbs. When you are up to it, put your baby in…

Get your micronutrients tested!!! I have a very long weight gain story that I won't go into here. The relevant part of the story is that I gained 80 pounds and was continuing to gain and no-one could figure out what was going on. It looked like a thyroid disorder but my thyroid tests were normal. I kept exercising and was…
