I never thought of that, never even knew that! Good information to know. How long can this last and should you do anything different in the beginning?

Depends on work outs! If you are lifting weights you will gain a few pounds, but your body will look better for it! Try to evaluate your exercise and see if you could be building muscle mass! That would actually be good, in the long run!

Best Answer Ever!

After reading through all the posts I am left with just a few thoughts and slightly irritated. Lets start first with I should of labelled this post: " I am going Gluten MODERATE because I care for my body have some issues that I am aware of and believe gluten may effect and no I am not self diagnosing myself as celiac or…

I agree with you, especially eat healthy, live healthy. I think this post went a crazy in some aspects. I guess I should have clarified my reasons and the the bulk of my diet was planned to be freshh first and foremost, less package products and experimenting with gluten free packages after checking labels of course for…

Excellent advice! This is pretty much what I have been doing. Fresh is best and you don't have to worry about what is being added.

Cindy, Maybe you could do me a favor? Could you ask any of the doctors if there really is a correlation between hypothyroidism and IBS. I have read several articles , but I am not naive enough to believe just because it is on the web or in print its the absolute truth. I would really appreciate this, if you could ask, as I…

I have read several articles, this is just the one that made me finally do it. I have been trying gluten free since I posted this and well I can say feel better but that could just be my mind, :happy: I have noticed a change in digestive, expelling mostly that I am not happy with, my guess is body will need time to adjust.…

I am slso finding that gluten isnt always listed, you,d think that FDA would insist this be labelled because of celliac disease and gluten intolerance. I google a lot of consumables if not labelled, so this is a little bit of work. Also I have cheated twice, but its a change, a process so I am not expecting overnight…

I have numbness in my left hand pinky and index fingers, I wonder if gluten was causing it. Hmm, need to ask doc about that issue.

Thank you for your encouragement. I am going gluten free because I have hypothyroidism and IBS which I have read in multiple articles are both effected by glutens negatively. Also its a lifestyle change, becoming very aware of everything I am putting into my body, I am in this fitnness mode for the long haul.

I am going gluten free because I have hypothyroidisand irritable bowel, nice!

Thank you all for your comments! I am 5'3 and so the breasts seem to occupy a lot of space I just get frustrated. I have been fitted at Macys but the fit was very uncomfortable and I tended to bulge. Anyway husband read post and was not very happy with the interest in minimizing, men! Its not like he has to carry them. I…

I too have very muscular legs, like gymnist my husband says, all muscle and always hard as if flexing! So yea Im really interested in the answers here. It seems like everything I do just builds them up more. But.......... that stops at my butt (sigh) wouldnt mind that bulking up or my arms trimming down. Why is it some…

I too love live atrong and ask your doctor or pharmacist, the good ones are always very helful and knowledgable.

I wish we could like comments because I soo like this!

Absolutely, I have never had to open the door if a man is nearby and maybe only two or three times if a woman is nearby ( and thats only because for some reason they missed the courtesy lesson) And yes even as I female I too hold doors for ladies and gentleman, especially the elder ones and no I would not expect this…

No wonder you couldnt wait! Awsome, amazing and fabulous! Good for you, I would be screaming from the highest mountain!

You ladies can friend me, alot of the people I talk to are very supportive and I love giving Kudos!

Any chance you can climb stairs or get in a quick walk to exercise and destress? Keep healthy snacks on hand at all times, an apple, a bag of celery, peanuts or any other low cal portable goodie you like. I feel for you and wish you luck! and by the way Congratulations on the 21 lbs! :wink:

Just focus on you! yes your attitude and emotional state can effect weightloss, you lose faith and hope and therefore determination! Be happy for your fitness buddy and be happy with yourself!

Your about me sounds like me. This is a great place for support, encouragement and ideas! Good luck on your journey!

Yes, I personally think a man looks superb and gentlemanly with a nice short or tight cut! My husband has always kept his similiar to his military days and for a time I begged and pleaded for the full look, but now, nothing hotter than a clean cut! In my humble opinion Beats a comb over LOL

Good for you, I knew you would be doing well!

It was hard to pick up (remember how nasty the firs one was) and harder to put down!

Starting again today, I caved to the urges over weekend, If i have to I will jut keep quitting until this brain and body of mine realize I am serious! Just have to stop being so wimpy and giving in to them, they are very pushy in my defense,.

I am working towards whatever looks best between 125-130lbs, must consider your basic frame when setting goal.

We are all on a journey, its good to have company!

Breakfast doesn't have to be bacon and eggs, think outside the box! Lemons aren't for sucking either, they are for eating. You guys are turning a supposed to be supportive community with a shared goal into a pissing match. How miserable for everyone here!

Well despite the nay sayers here I feel that breakfast is important, My Doctor recommends it, I see many articles that recommend it (boosting metabolism) and other benefits. I personally find that in past I did not eat breakfast I was sluggish during day and when I did I had more energy. In the end I think we really need…
