Net should be less than or equal to goal

No negative effects. They have been around for years. Just don't rely on them exclusively for your nutrition.

I was and still am!

Push through it. Overtime the soreness will go away. On the other hand stay away from pain. There is a difference.

Wow. You look like a total different person. Congratulations!

I've heard it both ways. I usually don't eat much after 7 just because I normally have had dinner by then. I almost always have a casein shake before bed though. Your body is essentially fasting while you are sleep.

I prefer the mornings. I also incorporate a protein shake at a minimum after but also drink one before I go on occasions. It just makes me feel ready for the day.

Protein builds muscle. General rule is 1 to 1.5 grams of protein per pound body weight for maximum muscle growth. Bonus: Muscle burns fat!

I may be just me but I think it helps when you add a pic and fill a little information into your profile. It makes it just a little bit more personable. Feel free to add me.

WOW. Maybe Too ACTIVE! LOL I guess it depends on how your body responds. I used to have a schedule similar to yours going 7 days a week and all I got was tired. When I started eating better and taking 1 - 2 days off a week to let my body fully recover I started to lose weight again. Remember that recovery is as important…

Good Job!

WOW. Whats your workout frequency?

Muscle weighs more than Fat. An 11.5% drop in body fat is awesome. Congratulations!

I'm holding a Keg right now. Can you give me a little time to catch up?

Unfortunately you can't choose where your fat loss will come from. Everyone's body is different and their fat stores are in different locations. What you describe doesn't seem unusual at all. Most people recognize weight loss earlier in the face and upper body. The mid-section is my problem. I am a poster model for the…

Thanks I've been looking for a chart like this. Think I'm gonna shoot for athlete. :smokin:

You hit the nail on the head!

Easy on the Men bashing. Remember who you really did it for. I'm sure you know the perfect gift to give yourself. Im proud of you though "WTG" :smile:

The only way to get abs to show is to reduce body fat. And yes you more than likely will have to give up your surgery foods (actually certain about that).

Change up your routine. The body adapts over time. Also add one more set and reduce the reps down to 8 - 10. Make sure its a weight that you almost want to quit during the last two reps of each set. You will find that you will have a little pain through the exercise but quickly recover if you are eating right. Normally I…

Trust me you are not the only one, and it better not pre-empt any of my TV shows

In Cardio, Circuit Training

Set a new goal and go get my Tattoo!

I got some MBTs and love the way they feel but they are so D#$% Ugly! :smile:

Technically I'm not a big girl so I guess I shouldn't answer..........but: It really depends on two things 1. The rate of weight loss 2. Your age If you lose weight at a rapid pace, you skin may not be able to keep pace. I've seen this a lot with people who undergo Gastric bypass surgery. I's hit or miss on whether there…

Rarely do I exercise more than an hour in any given session. It usually 30 - 45 minutes. Its the intensity that counts.

When weight training you should select weights that you struggle with the last two reps. For example, I usually do three sets of ten, with no more than two minutes pause between sets. Each set I am grunting to do rep 9 and 10. If you are upping the weights by five pounds and not feeling it. Chances are you started at a…

Awesome!
