On the left I was eating 1300ish calories and doing mostly cardio work (I had knee surgery followed by a broken collar bone so my activity was limited) My body fat was 30%. After lifting weights and getting serious into strength training, within five months I dropped my body fat to around 23% and ate an avg. of 2000…

This is GREAT information, thank you!!! I use a tabata timer on my iphone (4 minutes, 20 secs on 10 secs off) Lots to do with the timer like mnt. climbers or jumping jacks, burpee challenge anyone? lol Works well when I don't have access to a treadmill :)

Agreed. Go see a doctor ASAP!!

*my experience* I was a cario bunny for years. I used low weights and high reps for strength training, or simple DVDs like 30 Day Shred. I ate 'okay' meaning I ate low caloric plans with more processed foods (blah) The scale was good to me, I was in shape and fit but my body comp wasn't. I was a size 10-12 and roughly 28%…

All good replies. I have found that eating whole, clean, dense foods works best. eg. 100 calorie cookie pack OR a sliced cucumber topped with 1/2c greek yogurt and seasonings? That 100 calorie pack 'might' fill my tummy, but the HUGE bowl of vegetables and yogurt always does the trick :wink:

These helped me achieve my unassisted pull up goal... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfXuohjylwI And like others have stated - you cannot spot reduce, eat well and exercise - you will see results. Most of all, BE PATIENT!

You look AMAZING!!! WTG! I also like the idea of strength training. I've actually gained weight within the last year (muscle mass) but my body comp is much smaller (size 6-8 dress size) Blah, the scale - never again!! haha Set point theory is something to think about -…

We buy dark chocolate chips and mix them into a jar of unsalted peanuts. A capful is roughly 1oz of nut and chocolate. Not so low calorie I guess, but pretty healthy. My favorite ever day snack :)

We were wed by a judge, quick 10 min "do you.. do you.." Pretty much eloped lol No regrets. We had a small dinner with close family and friends (20ppl) after. Plus, the money we saved from a big wedding went towards building our dream home we live in today :bigsmile:

My body works best at 40% (under 200g) per day. I am currently not taking insulin or pills as my A1c is 4.8 - diet and exercise have worked for me. Majority of my carb intake is dairy, vegetables and fruit. I'm even able to enjoy some treats every so often (like candy or slice of cake) without any drastic spikes/drops.

http://youtu.be/UdragwWQzbc Functional Movement Screening. If you know a trainer who does all screenings - check it out. Cool to see where you stand as far as flexibility, strength and functional movement. Then, you can incorporate exercise to help correct any errors. When I first did this squat test - I failed miserably…

I use a scale, cups etc. Most of our bowls, glasses and plates I've pre measured so I know to use the 8oz glass for milk, or the blue bowl for chips or the coffee mug for frozen yogurt. Have you seen these?? http://www.slimware.com/ Super cool tableware that helps portion control and are very decorative! Asking Santa for a…

When I started this journey years ago, I tracked my weight and inches. Used an eyeliner pencil and wrote the numbers on my bathroom mirror to SEE every day where I started. Since heavy lifting, I use BF% as my indicator
