There simply isn't enough info here to prove anything. What was your starting weight? And what is your goal weight? Did you change your workout routine? Did you measure body fat percentage? How do you know that you aren't sacrificing muscle?

Here's what works for me and I feel the diffrence if I don't do it. I workout 1-2 times per day depending the day. My main stay workout is always at 5:30 am after a 6-8 hour fast and varys between cardio and strenth traning. 30 mins before I drink a shake with the following: Protein Dextrose AAKG Beta Alanine Creatine…

Not enough can be said here. The GI assumes sugar absorbtion in a fasted stated with no other foods being present. That is generaly not how we eat. Absorbtion must be taken from a whole meal standpoint. There is some value to high GI carb discussions in pre-workout directly following a 6-8 hour fast. A pre-work out drink…

My suggestion is to figure it one of two ways: 1. To maintain lean muscle during weight loss. Consume 1 gram per pound of lean muscle weight. (You'll need your boday fat percentage for this.) 2. If you are working hard for strength/muscle gains you may want to consider 1 gram per pound of your target weight. I am…

Here are my top 3: 1. We are gonna be five flavors of f*cked 2. That was slicker than cat snot 3. What do you mean it won't fit? Lube it up and stick it in sideways!

I guess I'm bad becasue I will always skip the gym for this reason! On the up side you can always count it as cardio!

My 2 cents: - You belong on the side with the free weights. - Lift Heavy

As long as you are burning more calories that you are eating than you will lose weight. You could try soy milk if the sugar is a big concern for you but, I don't think I would be concenred about it. Beyond the MFP numbers, is there a reason you are concerned with sugar intake?

This may be the best post I have ever read! You, sir, are an inspiration! Cheers to you!

Consider Casin Protein. It digests slowly by design helping you stay full longer. I like to mix it in with oatmeal.

I weigh once a week and check my Body Fat percentage once a month. That I can make sure I'm also maintaining the lean muscle and just losing the fat.

I demand pics or it's a lie!

OP: You have some pretty big holes in your diary. You may want to start there and then look at other goals.

OP - I showed your post to my wife and she thanks you for the laugh. She then turned to me and told me to stay the heck away from HER kitchen! Can I cook? I think so. She disagrees. We used to fight about it but after 13 years there are just other hills for me to die on...

10 lbs

^^ This except I only step on the scale once a week.

^^ This Take a look at your sodium number and is your excercise regiment a recent change?

This is a difficult question since you haven't said anything about your goals. If you goal is strictly weight loss you could add some "burpees" to your current program and have your major muscle groups covered. Beyond that there are a number of programs targeted at starting weight training. A quick search of the fourms…

Intelligent and articulate with amazing eyes.

I'm a tall guy so this has never really been an issue for me. However, every guy I know loves a lady in heels. It's very hard to notice if an attractive woman is taller than the guy she is with if you can't stop admiring her legs...

Great Job! You look amazing!

Fixed that for ya!

Are we just talking about the waffles here or does this include the mixing before hand?

Tried to fix the tag and still a fail

After 13 years I'm in charge of the following things: - Enforce her policies with the kids - Fix the broken things - Lift the heavy things - Mow the lawn/shovel the driveway - Earn money She's in charge of everything else. Yes, I am a blunt instrument bond to her will. But, if I’m good I get to have Waffles!!!!

Anyone at the gym I go to will tell you that I am approachable and encouraging and so are the rest of the regulars. However, if you are new I'm not just going to walk up to you and start talking to you about your program or your form. That's pretty overbearing and rude. If you are new and have question or need a spot, it's…

^^ This!

I guess I live in a weird area. We don't see the drop off until March 1st. If any of the new folks are left after that I'll start to make some new friends...

My faith is fine, thank you. It is the complete failure of any form of apologetics (Christian or otherwise) in this thread that would illicit the incredibly absurd statement that I made. Most of the discussion here sounds a lot like two elementary school children who think truth is defined by their points of view. In the…
