  • I bought the book and did this plan awhile ago and it did work, but I'm someone who really struggles with low carb and low energy, so I went back to strictly counting calories. However, I know I do better when I keep my carbs under control so I am going to give this another shot. Plus, I always find it helpful to shake…
    in Chris Powell Turbo Carb Cycling Plan Comment by Kristi_Mitch September 2014
  • I'm on my first week of the Turbo Cycle. I have read a lot of information prior to this on carb cycling, but his book and he and his wife are extremely motivational so I'm enjoying that. I appreciate the fact that even with low and high carb days he still has a calorie range you should be at for the day. I like the fact…

  • Take it at your own speed. I am by no means a dance expert or even a aerobics expert, but I love Zumba. I felt overwhelmed the first time I went, but I kept going back and now I can't imagine not going. In June it will be 3 years since my first zumba class. You will notice that as your confidence builds and you become more…

  • If I hover over the sync icon in the taskbar it will tell me what the current battery level is. Once it reaches 100% the pop-up reappears and says something like "Battery Charging Complete, Battery at 100%" and then the pop up disappears again. If I go back and hover over the sync icon at that point it says "Waiting for…

  • I have often said I have "Opposite Anorexia" I have never thought I looked awesome, but when I would look in the mirror I would think this looks pretty good, then when I see a pic, I want to die. It's not just you! For this very reason I take pics of myself to remind me of why I need to stay motivated.

  • Add me to the list, I work FT outside the home and have 3 kids ages 14,10 and 6. My DH works part time mostly nights and weekends. Most of the time we feel like we cross each others paths saying "Tag, Your it". I still am able to prioritize working out 6 days a week. I made a decision a few years ago that if I wasn't going…

  • I don't think I saw anyone else mention the GNC Lean Shakes. They come pre-mixed and in powder form. I love the pre-mixed ones, no chalky or after taste. I did switch to the powder for convenience of mixing it myself after I workout and with sales, the powder is more economical. I love the banana flavor in the powder! I…

  • I was diagnosed with PCOS no IR in 2002 after having trouble conceiving my 2nd child. I took clomid and was pregnant my first cycle. After giving birth I did not go on any meds and did not lose the baby weight I gained. Thinking that I wouldn't get pregnant again without meds, I did not even go back on BC pills. Lo and…

  • I posted on the technical board about the sync issues with exercise and haven't heard back. I burned over 3,000 calories yesterday in BM and synced my armband with BM this morning. When I logged into MFP this morning it says I burned 447 yesterday. My calorie deficit in BM was 1400 so I know it's wrong, but I can not…
