Yes, we are all different. What works for some may not work for others. Statistics will show that Adkins is not a long term solution for most.

I agree with you but its that early phase where most people fail.

There are no magic pills or magic beans that are going to make you lose weight. Losing weight comes from creating a calorie deficit. Plain and simple.

I hardly ever run in the morning but when I do, I do so on an empty stomach. Otherwise, I'll cramp up. In the evenings, I will usually wait about and hour after eating my last meal.

I think you're setting yourself up for failure with Adkins. I believe in well balanced diets. Adkins is too restrictive. Most people who do it, gain whatever losses back and then some.

This is all on you. No one is going to motivate you but you. What works for you in other areas of your life? For me, it was getting on the scale and seeing a number that I couldn't fathom. I was bound and determined to get it off and nothing could stop me. For you it might be a photograph, it might be a clothes size.…

You look amazing! Congrats

I would love to motorboat that

Even though I love it, me and pasta do not get along. Neither do me and rice. I just can't quit ice cream either but I'm asking for a divorce.

Yes, I eat small meals throughout the day. I'm very happy with it and am consistently losing weight.

Steel cut oats 1/4 cup of almonds 10 -15 blue berries banana agave syrup cinnamon It's so good. I never tire of it

BMI is a good starting point but body fat % is the way to go.

I'm really close to my goal weight now. The picture here is not me at my heaviest. At one time, I weighed 240lbs. I'm approximately 183 right now. I want to get down to 175-178 range.

I hate when the roid heads scream while doing their sets.

You should be losing if you calculate TDEE -20% - http://www.fitnessfrog.com/calculators/tdee-calculator.html If I had to guess, you are not logging everything you eat or you are under estimating your calories.

I use either honey or agave syrup most of the time.

^This. Eating at TDEE -20% never leaves me hungry. In fact, I often eat for the sake of eating instead of when I'm hungry. I wouldn't have it any other way.

It really depends on the activity,the amount of weight and the workout intensity. I run a fitness bootcamp on Saturdays. One on the attendees was wearing a HRM, she burned over 800 calories in an hour doing HIIT.

Thanks! I'll have to try this.

Lately, I've been eating every 2 to 3 hours. Seems better this way. I don't tend to over eat or get cravings

A pouch of tuna with side salad.

Killing is against the law. Try this instead.

Bravo!

Great job!

It'll be our little secret. Shhhhhhh

I love it!

I do kegels

Sure, that qualifies. Who doesn't love cookies?
