There are proteins out there that are for Lactose intolerant people. I use Gold Standard Whey protein (GNC) But I'm switching to a Isagenixs Protein

I wear cotton thongs all the time, the am work out I come home and shower, evening work out, I change into fresh ones before working out and shower afterwards. :) I hope you win your debate. :)

I use to work out in the evening and I found I couldn't sleep, now that I do double sessions (morning & evening), sleep isn't an issue. I'm usually exhausted. My dinner is pretty much a Protein shake after my night work out. Good Luck. :)

I'm in. :) I push every day... :) Need to stay disciplined!!! :)

This is the best product. All the protein is absorbed into your body, not like others.

That's incredible!!! Congratulations!!!! Keep up the great work. :)

I make eye contact every time I catch them. It's funny as all hell to watch them turn away very quickly.... :) It's my little way to let them know they were caught... hehehehehehehe. :)

I'm finally happy with my stomach. I also do 30 minutes of Cardio every day (ellipital)

I may add you but not say hi, I do add if that person posted something that is helpful to me and my journey. I also add for the support and / or maybe inspire people if they see or read what I post. I don't have much time to say Hi, but when I am on here and I see a post, I do try to take the time to write something.

Thank you for this answer. :) I would start building now and not worry about the scale. I was at 22% body fat about 5 months ago and according to my mirror and measurements I have lost more fat by building my muscle. I have been working out for three years and my trainer had me doing 3 sets of 10 with weight that I could…

This is more like my answer... :) LOL

That goes for me too... LOL :)

A lot of people suggested the same thing, my only problem is I don't like brown rice (but do eat it from time to time) and Sweet potatoes are the worst tasting thing ever... LOL Trying to change the way I think about them.

That was where I was at, confuze!!! LOL :) I work with a trainer for my routine. :) Just changed it up and will be using that routine for a month now, will change again once the month is up. :)

Fantastic answer And hopefully you are already engaging in resistance training at least 3x a week [/quote] YES of course I am. :) :) :) I'm at the gym doing different things every day. :) I change it up quiet often to get the most out of me muscles. :) I do go easy on Saturday's and Sunday's (it kills me but I do it) but…

If your goal is simply to lose fat and (this part is key) you do not have any insulin related medical conditions, then you don't need to take a low carb approach. You still can if you want, but there's no real advantage in doing so and you're only potentially eliminating foods you enjoy which can create a tougher time in…

What are your reasons for wanting to go low carb? [/quote] @ Sidesteal - Need to reduce my fat % by 7.

I ended up getting a FT4 and I love it. :) I found it for $89.00. :) Would really like to get a monitor that tracks my calorie burned all day long, will be getting one of those soon. :) Thank you everyone. :)

The belly fat is the last part of the body to get rid of, so don't give up, cardio and diet is key for this. I had this problem myself, It's three years of workout and I'm just starting to like what my stomach looks like, I actually retain all my water there, now that's tough one.

It has to do with VO2 Max, this is one of the deciding factors on how many calories you actually burn, each person is different. It's best to use a Heart Rate Monitor to get a true calorie burn. I have a Polaris F4 and I love, it's extremely accurate and very easy to use.

Please feel free to add me anyone. :) I do my best to be supportive. :)

I agree, also form is important so you don't hurt yourself. I was right there with you when I first started, I am now up to 30 pounds!! :)

I use to have 2 sugars in one cup. After months of reducing the sugar, I now take it black. :)

Not a good day to read this. LOL.. I'm starving today. I think my double work out sessions are starting to catch up with me... Body is finally reacting to the increase of exercise!!! LOVE IT!!!! OK, food I would have to say my mother's stuffing and gravy, Bacon and Scallops I can eat with Lobster and claim strips. Oh I…

Noises don't bother me any, I have my music up so loud I don't hear anything unless someone drops weight. What bother's me is people staring, be a gentlemen/women and look with out being noticed. :)

Not sure if this will be motivating or not but I"m going to tell you my story: I weighted 175 back in 2009. I started working out with a bunch of cheerleaders, changed my eating habits just a little bit and I lost 20 pounds in a month. I couldn't believe the difference in how good I felt, wasn't as tired during the day. :)…

You don't have to kick your *kitten* at the gym to lose weight. You need to push yourself a little harder each day you go. From what I have read and have been told by a couple of different trainers is when you have done your cardio, your done burning calories. If you had some weight lifting into your work out, you will…

This is a great idea!! :)

I agree!!!!! You can have the best looking body but if you think your "all that", it's a total turn of!!! I like a man that works hard to stay in shape (naturally) and is down to earth. Could care less about the 6 pack abs, I'm more of a shoulder, back and arm person myself. Being Lean is better.

I'm ok with 6-pack abs!!! :) :)
