Gah I wish I weren't typing on a phone, I'd love to ask more questions. Thanks so much y'all for sharing you experiences. Please do continue.

I did have some very serious hypoglycemic issues at the end of summer after I foolishly went from a bulk at 3300 cal/day to a cut at approx 2300 cal/day. Yea I don't quite remember those days. Turns out changing like that overnight was not a good idea. Aside from that I don't quite understand my sugar lows. And sometimes…

Generally, no. I rarely feel hunger as I once did when I was a kid. Now it's just shakey, dizzy , and disoriented. I have looked into reactive hypoglycemia as, at times, I can eat and then feel the symptoms coming on not long thereafter.

I wouldn't quit eating cause I was full, I'd quit eating when I got tired of eating. ha

Yep. I did a mock log of what a day in my life used to be. It amazed me how much food I would consume every single day.

Awesome transformation. I needed to see this as I tend to get discouraged when this don't change quickly. Five years is not a terribly long time in the grand scheme of things. Thanks for sharing!

I ate 4 slices of pizza last night, still no cleanse?! What am I doing wrong? Please help, I don't wanna fall off the wagon again :(

Wow! Thanks for sharing your incredible success story!

Thanks SS.

I was told whey protein is for men and it makes women bulky. Also that soy protein is for women only. As you can guess, this information did not come from the likes of a scientist. I lol'd for a bit.

"How are you keeping your weight off, just not eating anything?". Rude. "You need to stop losing weight, you're looking like a *kitten*." Double rude

And everyone said...amen.

I hope I can work hard enough to be naturally thin one day...

Wtf pal. Is this real life?... pal

Food is a treat, and I eat all day everyday. Lately my favorite has been my nightly Cinnamon Toast Crunch...finding it hard to believe...I'm in heaven.

Someone bring me up to speed here. Can an individual choose not to work and just collect GA instead? Also, I have worked low pay jobs that are far away from home while trying to find something better. I always say I'd rather be able to pay 75% of my bills than 0% of my bills.

Ignore mode... engaged

It's on now!

Frosted mini wheats or cinnamon toast crunch. That reminds me, I'm out CTC.

Echo... C25K. Never could run growing up, now I can.

For special occasions I generally make one trip through the food line and as much as I can fit on one plate is what I eat. I then do the same with a small dessert plate. And if I need more I'll go back for things like ham and green beans etc. These few days a year have 0 impact on my overall goals

Might wanna have that house looked at, wouldn't wanna have it cave in

Considering my struggles with squat and ohp, I thought the only logical thing to do would be to attempt a lift I've never done before... power clean, have a gander. http://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=c4-feed-u&v=ML6ysjWLyMo

Also, these adjustments have made it so that I cannot currently get the bar to touch my chest without breaking my wrists back. Is this going to come with time and flexibility work?

As in using lower body to give a boost or is there a difference in bar placement for push press? I try to maintain a "strict" stance with glutes activated. I am indeed feeling the work in a different area of the shoulders no doubt.

Will do! Thanks for the suggestions. As little time as I have to lift, I'm getting frustred pissing it away with poor form.

Look up to the skies and see...

It feels like it's on the bottom of my traps and on top of the "shelf" I've created by pushing elbows back and up. Sorry for lack of technical terms.
