Thanks for the ideas! I'm sad if it's the animal protein because in an ideal world (lots of time to cook interesting things, not gaining weight) I would eat a vegan diet. Animal protein just grosses me out. I've had a difficult time buying chicken and ground turkey at Whole Foods b/c the smell of the meat department. (I…

I just added protein to what I was normally eating. In the morning I always have oatmeal with flax and raspberries. I cut down the oatmeal portion size and added 4 scrambled egg whites. For snack I would normally eat a protein bar of some sort (because it's easy to eat in front of students as they are coming into class)…

I'm on 1200 a day. I just eat healthy food and eat about 5 meals a day and I haven't had any problems. I have a pretty active job (I stand all day and have to handle 14 year old boys) and I work out and I feel great!

Congratulations! You look great!

I did not follow the nutrition guide and I did the first month without changing the schedule. I thought it was pretty easy to follow because the first month routines are about 45…

bodybuilding.com is a great resource.
