:-). my tattoo is my profile pic. Thank you!!!!

You could have gone through a "whoosh". "The “whoosh” is when you are watching your weight day in and out and there is little to small changes even with big deficits. One day, out of nowhere, the scale will drop dramatically lower than it had been registering. This is known as a whoosh. The “whoosh” could be any number of…

I follow a Ketogenic eating program and use coconut oil in my coffee and to cook low fat meat like chicken breast to up the fat content. It can also be used to make ketogenic chocolate.

Your description of yourself in your profile speaks volumes: "OK, I am going to be real here... I am a little vain. Not high maintenance... actually the exact opposite, but I love the confidence I have walking into a room when I am strong and in shape, and yes, I like the looks. I know that sounds AWFUL! but honest." Seems…

Sorry that caused you to throw up, You should probably get that checked out. My bf is 43 yrs old and looks amazing. Kind hearted and down to earth. Not all muscular men are divas. There really is nothing sexier than watching a man work out and getting all sweaty, especially when he's mine. I love when he works on my car…

My bf has an amazing body... lifts weights daily.. ( my favorite passtime is watching him do pullups ohemgee i love it) and he likes me "thick" and is really against me losing any weight to be skinny. He says do it for health and my knee recovery but not to lose my curves or booty. I have always dated muscular men and it…

Deadlifts and kettlebell swing. Both great for the hams and glutes. Also leg press is great if you can remember to push through the heals (targets the butt more)

Here's the thing about cheat days. You can eat whatever but keep fat low. Super low. You will be living in the bathroom because all that new food is gonna make your stomach a mess. I am doing a cyclic ketogenic program which is High protein, low carb with a one day carb load after 14 days. I have read and read and the key…

I look good standing up but sitting down my fat spreads making me look bigger.

I usually do cardio in the morning, strength at night. If I am doing a full workout it's strength first and then cardio. However, if I am doing a leg day it's no cardio. Just weights.

Its the only way I measure success. I don't own a scale. Tape measure and clothes.

I ask myself if it's really worth it and squeeze my love handles as a reminder that Muffin tops are not attractive and neither is people thinking i am pregnant because my tummy is big.

Face, shoulders...

We are all here to support you! Good luck on your journey and add me as a friend!! :-)

One son who is 22 and blessed with the ability to eat whatever and still look like a twig. He does walk/ bike to work up and down hills which can't hurt. I

This is really amazing, yiu should be really proud of yourself. Stories like this keep me motivated.

we must be kindred spirits lol. I like mine with pb and banana too mix it up with sonic ice. mmmmmmmm

My favorite two brands: Lean Dessert Protein and Optimum Nutrition Whey. Both come in great flavors and mix well with water. For an on the go Protein: Muscle milk. It's got a great blend of protein, carbs and fat and is pretty filling with a banana.

That is amazing!!! I am hoping to find a plan that works for me. I just started this whole journey and am very excited to see what I can accomplish,

If you are doing a 14 day induction, you do it on day 15. If you are doing the strict Cyclic Ketogenic program you go 6 days HP/LC and one day loading w/ carbs. I chose the atkins 14 day first to get use to 20g of carbs and jump start my program. I will do my carb load next Saturday and then move to a 6 day Hp/lc and One…

Thanks Van. gonna check into that now.

I'm not a guy but I wear them for two reasons... easier to grip the weights and the ivknfactor of touching germ invested equipment. I wipe down the equip anyway but it gives me piece of mibd.

Absolutely!! Every night I prepare a 45 min playlist for my walk the next day. I love music.

Broccoli and spinach. I like to eat broccoli for a snack like chips. Love the crunch. I eat spinach because I like the taste and its better than lettuce which i dont like.

You gotta be patient. It took you months to gain weight, you can not expect to just lose it all quickly. Slow weightloss is the best because at that rate it tends to stay lost. Adjust little things... decrease sodium, boost protein, eat more real foodies.

I like protein powder but you have to remember they are not all the same. 30g of Protein is pretty good esp if used with milk because that just adds more protein to the mix. I would absolutely supplement with protein powders.

Bsn LD was the first protein powder that made me change my mind about protein powders. The flavors are fantastic and blend well with water. I get no lumps. ON is also great. I started buying it because I can buy a huge canister and it lasts forever. I also like to get the boxes of assorted flavors. That way I can change up…

My favorite protein shake is BSN's Lean Dessert Protein in Cinnamon Roll. It is so delicious. Second best would have to be Optimum Nutrition's Gold Standard Protein Powder in Banana Cream. Both brands have a variety of flavors. Those are just my favorite.

I love my kettlebell!!! I can't do impact cardio because of my knee surgery so the kettlebell exercises I do not only give me my cardio for the day but strength training as well.
