I use crystal light and welches flavorings. Why? Simply taste, thats it. I never used to drink water, just Diet Sodas and coffee, Now I have a daily work routine that has been very effective for me. I have a 64ox container and I drink 64oz from 8-12, 64oz from 1-5 and probably another 20-32 oz from 5-9. Its helped curb…

grats man! What was your starting weight in your first pic? Your build looks exactly like mine when I started!

Eat carbs....They are your bodies direct source of energy! Thats why I try to eat cereal in the morning, then a 10am snack and a workout at lunch. If I miss any of those times to eat my energy level is clearly affected. That is why I hate the Atkins/South Beach diets that restrict carb intake. You get miserable from it…

Not I, My cheat meal is Saturday night!!!

Drove by a sign the other day...said something like "Your going to like this meal".... You're!!!!! Your, You're, You'll

Hows your sodium levels? Also, you may want to change things up a bit, take a couple days rest, then hit the gym really hard, twice your regular workout. This worksfor me to push through a rut!

Lastyear went about losing weight all wrong. I decided to lift weights and cut calories. I did lose quie a bit of weight, but I did not gain muscle. My muscles felt bigger and became more defined, but that because I was losing the fat covering the muscle and my muscles were bigger because I was workingout. They were filled…

I tend to lose in my face, then, neck, chest, lower legs, then arms, then thighs, then love handles, then gut.... I have always had a gut, so I imagine it will be the last to go!

When dieting, it seems this is a common occurence...why? When dieting we tend to eat foods that provide a better bang for your buck (calorie-wise). Fat is 9 calories per gram and protein/carbs are 4 calories per gram. Since we avoid the fat if at all possible because it means we can't eat as much, so we eat more protein…

You can get it at some clinics and hospitals, or gyms, but I go to a local college because it costs $20. They usually provide it cheaper because its practice for the students! If you have a college nearby, look for their heath or performance lab!

Welcome noseovertail! I would suggest that you get a bodyfat percentage test done to determine your exact BMI. This way you can ensure you are lolsing a healthy amount of weight! Once you have that number in hand, you can get grips on what weight is healthy for you and set it as a goal! Good luck!

simple solution....get it unbuttered and eat 1/3 the calories!

I hould clarify that carb snacks are not all that bad in this case because t will aid your energy levels and you will burn the carbs fairly fast! My favorite snacks while skiing: Beef Jerky, 100 cal snack packs or a protein/energy bar all fit nicely in a fanny pack(which are accepted as a neccessary item while skiing and…

Bring a lot of healthy snacks that are high in protein(if possible). Skiing is very exhausting, even for those of us who've skiid all our lives. If you are lifting weights right now, hold off on doing legs becuase your hamstrings will be wiped out, especially if you ski black diamond runs! You will be very tired around…

It might be depression... You should ask the doc when your at your next visit and they can diagnose it, or reject it! In my opinion I always feel better after working out and knowing I'm losing fat, so it couldnt hurt!
-
You could simply do it mathematically... If a 2000 calorie diet lets you have 2500mg of sodium and you are eating 1300 calories, then... 2400 mg Sodium/2000 calories * 1300 calories = 1560mg of Sodium

When you can't get any nutritional info, I find it best to focus on portion sizes. When I ate Chinese last, I avoided unneccesary carbs(RICE) and just ate my dish (Shrimp with Hot Garlic Sauce). I roughly figured the shrimp calories out and added a couple hundred calories for the light sauce. Focus on eating light sauces,…

Check it out on hulu.com if you like! There were two challenges, the winner of the first(Sam) did 500 sliding moves (like a speed skater) before everyone else. That advantage didnt come out to much because the challenge after that was a biathalon (since its an olympic week!) Everyone shot out Sams targets first and…

WATER!!!!

Thanks all!

That might be annoying, but who cares... I would have told her that if she can workout on the elliptical and talk on the phone for a lengthy period of time, then she's obviously not working hard enough and perhaps she should leave so someone who wants to work hard can have her spot!

It sounds like you are doing this more to appease your mom. If I were you, It would have to be fully my decision to lose weight and become healthy...and not because my mom or significant otherthinks I'm fat. You lose weight because its your decision to change your life, not theirs! Once YOU decide that YOU want to be…

Thanks for all the input everyone!

I guess my question is more oriented towards what burns the most fat? Should I drink the shake to increase metabolism, or have an empty stomach to encourag fat burning while I sleep?
-
My calorie level is not usually a concern. I eat 6 meals a day at about 400 calories a meal... I burn around 1000 calories a day with excercise. I'm eating back those calories and i'm usually left over with about 200 calories a day to waste (I usually don't!)
-
In the morning Im usually not very hungry and all I have is a bowl of cereal with skim milk....Do you still think I should have the shake even without the worry of overeating at breakfast?
-
beef jerky! YUM!
