Hey Bro! Suggest cutting back. That workout schedule is conflicting with the number of hours your body needs to rest and recover. I found that I used to be able to get by on 5-6 hours, but am starting to notice that I see better results and feel better when I get closer to 7-8 hours. I tend to work out 5-6 days a week.…

Congratulations! Very well done!

One of the best things to do to encourage someone else is to "friend" them. But don't just stop there. Take the time to encourage them, review their diaries or offer a daily word of encouragement. Remember, part of the challenge to to "encourage" at least 10 of your MFP friends daily. A word to the wise: On MFP you tend to…

Do what you think is best. However, I would recommend that you take your measurements the way you take them--as long as you consistently do them that way. You want to establish a baseline to work from. Often, your weight may not fluctuate, but your body composition will. Monthly numbers will help you see that. Shawn

Adjectives are insufficient to describe your TOTAL TRANSFORMATION! Simply "Flabuless!" Congratulations! Shawn

You'll find that the primal and paleo approaches to eating tend to yield the best results. I lost more weight quickly taking a paleo approach to eating. It does take some getting used to. Shawn

Normally, if someone makes a comment like, "I could lose some weight myself", I typically ask, "what are you currently doing to try to lose weight?" It normally gets a positive conversation started and I may offer a couple of suggestions to help.

Amazing transformation! Congratulations!

I'm African-American, but get mistaken for Cuban or Brazilian on occasion--especially when I'm hangin' in Miami!

I think muscle and tone are great and attractive to an extent. When you develop the ability to crack walnuts with your butt cheeks...too much muscle...

Girls who are nerds always caught my eye over girls who were jocks. Give me a shy girl with a nice smile and librarian glasses, and I'm hooked!

Boogie Down! Go ahead girl! You look fabulous! Congrats on all of your efforts!

ABSOLUTELY!!! The key to a thicker protein shake is to mix it with Guava Gum, which you can get at most health food stores. One teaspoon per 8 ounces (I mix my protein shake with water), thickens them right up and only adds about 10 calories to the serving. One of the best kept secrets to a thicker shake minus the calories!

I weigh myself every day. First thing in the morning; au natural.

Currently I take a rest day every Sunday. However, in the first year I began my fitness regimen, I actually took Thursdays AND Sundays off. I was going through the same thing you were--primarily being tired through the week. The rest days worked wonders. I also take a week off every 12 weeks of training. Kind of a reward…

You loo amazing as usual MsQT! Your transformation has been phenomenal!

"Flabuless" transformation! Congratulations!

Great transformation! Keep it going! Shawn
