41. Need to get back under 200 lbs.... its been a few years since i was under

I like teh Cliff's Builders Bar. 20g protein - way better than a lot of the others.

started jan 7, 6'2, 240 now am just under 207. Definately works if you stick with it and don't lose faith. Even if you are not 100% perfect, you will make headway if you can change your habits and give it time. Looking to lose another 10 lbs or so. Good luck!

d@mn dude - great job!

i'm not a creatine expert, but if i'm not mistaken, it takes a while to creatine "load" - the point at which your body has stored up the maximum amount it can use, and then it can take up to 6 weeks for it to be totally out of your system. From my experience, i definately noticed a difference in a weeks time, and it can…

Ha! that's hilarious - your wife and mine must be cut from the same cloth!

there are pre workout energy supplements that you can take which are probably mostly caffeine but have other supplements like B vitamins, Nitric Oxide and creatine - a relatively cheap one is NO Extreme which can be found in Walmart Jac3d is another popular one. These are aimed at people lifting weights but i've used them…

holy smokes i'd say just from the pics you lost way more than 20lbs! Great job!

i just started taking them with lunch and breakfast as i'm on a lower carb diet and was having a hard time hitting my fiber requirements daily. Haven't noticed whether it makes me feel more full or not, maily doing it for fiber content. No issues, seems to work as adveritised for me (if you catch my drift)

1301+5=1306

they folks above that commented about high carbs are right on. Now that you've lost a good bit of weight, it may be time to "shake it up" a bit to keep your body guessing - this often helps w/ plateaus. You may want to even consider changing the daily goals from protein and carbs - you can edit these percentages. I'm not…

i joined around jan 10th and love the site - i think it is very common for people to join and give up. I've been telling myself i need to lose weight for about 5 yrs and kinda sorta tried a few times but not very seriously. I turned 35 in december, and father time is catching up - if i'm going to turn it around, i better…

now we're talking - good thread. - i think my approach is a little different that MFP advocates, i'm trying to bring in some tips/tricks used by bodybuilders. The main difference is doubleing up the protein and trading carbs. Also, i lift weights 3-4 times a week and only do cardio 2 times. The reason for this is cutting…
