I have found that the gym is full of people that want to help... if you ask... or look lost... Don't be afraid to ask... you may make a friend.

^^^ that seems like the logical approach

as someone that goes to the gym regularly i will tell you... i get upset when someone makes me notice them... most often I could care less about other people on the machine... and personally i would rather see a fat person exercising then a young pretty girl texting on the bench press... --ms

Remember: everyone had to start somewhere.... these people at the gym were most likely.. at one time were either too thin or too fat.. No one starts out awsome.... ^^

I used a scale for a few months when i first went on my diet... but after a while.. I could eyeball it with more accuracy.. However, now that i'm near the end of my diet.. I'm finding it harder time getting the last 5kg off so i'm back using my scale.

As ex-special forces and drill sargent.. my advice to you in your training for bootcamp I would do: 100push-up challenge and C25K and walk... everyday do your ab workouts... crunches, scissor kicks and sit-ups... However, Don't just worry about the big three (push-up, sit-ups, and run.) Go for a full body fitness program…

I will bulk up later.. after the fat is gone down to at least 15%... i'm at around 18% according to measurements at the gym... not sure how accurate they are.... but i figure I use different methods and get the same answer it has to…

@hook: I think you are hitting the nail on the head..... and I am thinking my Carbs are a little high.... I try to limited my white or processed wheat and rice... intake... I eat bread (muti-grain) mainly for breakfast... toast with peanut butter... and skim milk.. I will do more research on low carb diet.... but it is…

@BigG: Even so i am going to schedule another blood test.... to keep an eye on it... better safe then sorry...

Even with the 1200 and low calorie intake I have not lost any weight for over a month...not sure the reason.. I am hoping it is muscle weight... since like I said have not lost weight... according to the scale... however, i went from 21%BF to 17.5%BF...

@Iron I do weight lift 4days a week...and cardio 7days a week... since I do cardio with my 11year old daughter who has a weight problem... (48% BF)

to clearify my thoughts... I have heard that too high protein can cause problems with the kidneys ... so i'm worried that since diabetes is a failure in the kidneys that protein powder may cause an issue later on... ... percentage i'm working for is protein at 40% Carbs 35% and fats 25% and i'm averaging around those…

When i first started dieting.... I felt hungry all of the time... hunger pangs even woke me up at night.. So it is rough at first... but it gets a lot easier as your body gets use to it... Be strong and don't worry many people like you have gone through this same struggle... and have overcomed them...

While i'm not a woman.... but sometimes i swear and smell so bad when working out that I have to take a shower and change my clothing in the middle of my workout.... so i can stand being around my own self....^^

Have you thought about going on a little vacation from your diet and stop worrying about it... just eat healthy and exercise.. and in a week or two... hit it hard... a few red days are not going to kill you.... Sometimes we think or try too hard...

I personally eat peanut butter once a day for breakfast because it has many good health benefits not just protein... You need carbs (that comes from the bread) and you need the fat (peanut oil) If i was you i would go to an all-natural peanut butter... (100% peanuts). Also you need to get some Willpower when it comes to…

There are many different types of protein shakes (powders) out there... and alot that taste pretty good.... but often for many it is about the price... However, if you are not lifting weights i would not suggest a shake but add some chicken breast or black beans... they are great sources of protein... even a glass of skim…
