Like others have stated, YES - IT WORKS. You will no longer feel hungry or deprived. I also did not used to eat enough - did gain a little in the beginning - but things pretty immediately balanced out. I do sometimes have to "force myself to eat" which is a very very weird concept for me but amazingly enough, I always wake…

what a nice, pleasant, and knowledgable way to have this discussion. I am so grateful y'all are doing this now... This was one of those topics that I just simply could not understand or figure out "what worked for me" because my workouts are also not always so typical or consistant calorie burn wise... Finally found my…

Yeah I think that's a good plan. I stopped wearing mine to class too because it hurts in some postures and the info was just not accurate. Funny, it actually improved my practice too though since I was no longer thinking about the information it was gathering. Glad this helped you too!! :smile:

Oh wow. Those are pretty high burns in general. Burning 500 cals in 30 mins is pretty unusual. I think the OP is possibly smaller than you and would conversely burn less. That's great you're getting that kind of a workout though - most people on here would kill for that high of a burn!

It's a LOT lower than you think. I take pretty hard core classes as well and have never topped maayyyyybeeee a 200 cal burn (and that's still pretty grossly over estimating). Yoga just does not raise your heart rate the way cardio or weight lifting will. Do not let this stop you though... I cut way back on my practice…

Well shoooot... GAME ON!!!! I just KNEW we were meant to be!!!! :heart: :heart: :heart:

alright. this has gone on long enough.... I am a man. I am a fat, bald, short man. But everything I have said is true!! I meant every word!!!! please don't leave me! :cry:

I also do yoga and weight lifting. I find that doing yoga on my rest days really helps with water retention and muscle recovery... I don' t have any scientific data to quote, just my body and my experience. It works for me. And I actually didn't do yoga for a few weeks because I personally enjoy lifting so much and I did…

I did something very similar and lasted about 7 days. I was so grouchy my friends had to sit me down and tell me to join the human race again.... There is no food (or lack thereof) that is worth losing my happiness over. And as others have said, you gain it back in the blink of an eye...

gah how do I make those dang pics smaller...???? That is an annoyingly large photograph.

I'll smug it up: I have more pics on my profile too. This was only 2 months into lifting. I'm due to take the next set of photos this weekend. All I can say is; IT WORKS. Diet plays a HUGE role in your progress - and then gym/rest play the rest.

I would also like to see where this goes.

OMGosh I have these zero calorie packets of air -- YOU SHOULD TOTALLY TRY THEM!!!! I bought them on clearance at Wal-Mart.

It's going to be really hard to explain to my friends and family why I DIED from laughing while eating my lunch to this quote. IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE IT'S TRUE. AND, a "serious note" ... it's like anything else in life. You just learn as you go. People aren't going to be peaches and cream - whether it's here or in the grocery…

alright folks .. we have a clear winner here: BOOBS. and ericmessier: are the moobs cute ..?

oh okay.. I see what you did there. you funny huh? see if you had BOOBS I would send you a FR and then we could take this to wall!

also true.

because people like you on a forum aren't going to turn a crappy day upside down. Friends like HER on the other hand, WILL.

because she SHOULD come first. duh. Friends all the way! IMO....

Oh. Hi Taunto.. Didn't see ya there... can I buy you a coffee?

Look at LorinaLynn's blog/profile/pics. She has documented the difference so well! She was one of the people that motivate me to make the change... I am only 2 months in with heavy lifting but you can already tell a HUGE difference: ^ This was just me, pretty pear shaped.. Was very active (running, etc) but was not eating…

closes eyes - jumps in!

Is this a hamburger ?
