You're comparing paleo to raw veganism?
-
I know they are not very accurate. I was just saying that compared to the one I have at home, 23% for me is a much more believable reading. And the OP.

Try it! You will feel great for the first few months, glowing even. You'll lose weight and have more energy than ever. Then within a year or two your health will rapidly deteriorate. It's extremely difficult (but not impossible) to sustain over longterm. Also whoever said that animal meat IS TOXIC and that cholesterol is…

I'm proud of myself because I set a goal, and I stuck to it. 2 months ago I was 142 pounds and getting a little chubby (I'm calling it my 'bulking phase') and now I am 126. Late nights in the gym after a long day of work, then waking up and doing it all over again. Cooking my own foods while living at home certainly took…

/sarcasm or no?

In my opinion, do not go 'vegan' if you are doing it to lose weight. The person above me is right, there are plenty overweight, unhealthy people who don't consume any animal products by way of a vegan lifestyle. In my experience with interacting with others who tried veganism, they were absolutely glowing for the first few…

I'm confused as to what you're asking. You don't want to have a 'fit' physique, but instead just a slim one? Therefore, you dont want any signs of muscle tone? Or are you looking to keep your muscle but just lose excess fat and look more cut and defined?

The handheld device at my gym I was told was pretty accurate, especially compared to my scale at home that read a whopping 34% compared to a more believable 23% at the gym.

I am a NYS licensed esthetician and makeup artist. I work at ULTA and wax eyebrows and sell makeup lol.

Determined and motivated!

Pretty!

I wax eyebrows and do makeup for a living. I pole dance as a hobby. I listen to death metal and drive a manly truck. 4 years ago I was in a car accident and broke 3 bones in my pelvis and was told I will never be able to give birth naturally, do a split, run a mile etc. and that I will probably get osteoarthritis (or some…

you look like a cool chick. and you also look like pink. Maybe thats where i got the 'cool chick' part from. :P

I need some friends too! Feel free to add me!

Nice abs!

It's hard to tell because it's mostly a shot of your jeans but you look pretty vascular in the arms there. lol

How long have you eaten Paleo? For the past 3 months or so. What's your favorite Paleo Approved Meal? Steak with sauteed onions and mushrooms + veggies. Anything stir-fry. Sweet potato 4 mins in the microwave on workout days + chicken = delicious and quick meal. What's your favorite Paleo Approved Snack? almonds,…

My goal is to finally be able to add some weight on my OHP. It's been 2 or 3 weeks and I'm still only up to a barbell. It's just too freakin' heavy! I'm shocked at how much better I am at squats and deadlifts than I am at bench presses and OHP. I always considered myself a lot stronger in the upper body than the rest of…

A similar thing happened to me the other day. I couldn't make time to prep lunch before work so I bought lunch. I went to Moe's southwest grill, which if you're not familiar with is a Subway type of establishment but with mexican food. I got a healthy lunch-- a burrito bowl that just consisted of chicken and lots of…

I eat a form of red meat 1-3x a week whether it be a steak or ground beef. I see nothing wrong with it. I buy grass-fed meat and I eat some of the fat too if I'm feeling frisky. I don't eat dairy (except for the occasional slice of cheese) or breads/pasta and I eat a ton of fresh fruits and vegetables and as far as I know…
-
I'll take some of yours! Of course when I lost 15 pounds, I lost some of it in my chest instead of where I wanted to lose it. Just keep losing, it will come off eventually.
-
I too have the same problem, but unfortunately mine is injury related. I broke my pelvis 4 years ago due to a car accident and as a result, my pelvis is "shifted" and twisted, making one hip bone stick out much more than the other. Even though I've lost 15 pounds it's like I have this massive love handle on one side while…

When I first started using the weights at my gym (newbie) I would mostly just use the leg press machine, some of the other machines and loooottt of squats with 15 lb dumbbells. If you're really interested in strength training with a proper routine to follow, look into stronglifts or starting strength. both are beginners…

Aerial Amy (a pole dancer and blogger) has a great video demonstrating different techniques for knee pain during floor work and some tips that might help you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQQ-tcG6wBA Basically what you want to try to work on is pushing with your shins and tops of the feet rather than resting all of your…

Don't wait!! You will gain upper body strength by just going! That's like when people say they need to lose weight before taking a fitness class lol just go. Sure it will be hard at first but everybody starts somewhere. Jenyne (the girl in the video) has been pole dancing for 11 years and does other aerial acrobatics but…
-
I'm going to post a video instead in hopes that maybe some of you will watch this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQMkm0bqRvo That right there is Cirque du Soleil artist and champion pole dancer Jenyne Butterfly. I envy not only her small, yet super strong physique but also her incredible skill. That right there is…

I think what I meant to say was that I do unintentionally follow a 'low-carb' approach simply by attempting to eat a more paleo diet. I do eat sweet potatoes and fruits on days that I exercise but I have completely cut out the brown rice that I used to eat (unless I go for sushi then I will eat the rice that comes with…
-
That's great! thanks for the advice and reassurance. I'm still a little unsure though if this is stalling any potential weight loss. I pretty much follow all the "rules" and make sure I get in enough healthy fats etc but I know that having too big of a calorie deficit and working out too much is not good if you're trying…

I've been eating this way for the past few months, but I don't really call it Paleo. I say that I stopped eating breads, pastas, and processed foods, because that's all it really is to me anyway. If someone asks where they can read more information on this lifestyle, THEN I will reference specific paleo books. If you want…
