Teeth....definately the teeth.... and then from there i notice everything else

that's freakin awesome my dude. very inspiring!

I agree with my friend here. Just keep doing the dead lifts and your grip will come. chalk will only increase friction, that's it.

very encouraging. Thanks for your comment. Yesterday was my first time. i fasted for 18 hours and was able to eat my 1700 calories with in the 6 hours AND get my work out at the gym.... although my energy level was waaaay down at the gym....

Thanks for the advice bro. I'm also pretty busy (work full time and go to school) and I only have a chance to go to the gym in the evening. do you think I will still benefit to working out "un-fasted"? my schedule is usually fasting from 9pm until 3pm the next day. Thanks

Thanks for responding. I'm right now trying 16:8 for now. Thinking I'm going to do this for about a week or two and then work my way up to doing 5:2.

"Motivation" by T.I. and also "Big Picture".....

I mean I have been going about this for almost two months straight with very little progress it seems. and today I go see my Dr. for my annual and am told that although my total cholesterol is low, my HDL is very bad and I'm at a much higher risk of having a heart attack. AND I'M ONLY 30 YRS OLD! .... all other parameters…

yea i think i'm gonna incorporate that and just weigh myself on fridays.. .

This ^^ I had pizza yesterday and I'm up 3 lbs today :noway: I know is "normal" but still bothers me, because then a game starts in my head, "will I lose weight this week or not?" and so it goes on and on :huh: [/quote] hahaha!!! i know what you mean! lmao. thank all of you for the support :)

Thanks a bunch for the encouragment! yea that's what i have been hearing too. that since i'm a newbie, I'm going to both gain muscle and water and lose some fat in the process. its just so friggin frustrating that the scale tips only so slightly... and the tape gives the same measurement... sometimes a little less.... but…

hahaha! I'm the same way!!! on the wekends I'm like CHINESE CHINESE!!!!....and PIZZA!!...

@ CK i'm 5'9.5 I'm muscular in build but i definately have some fat. i took one of those fat % machines that measure your fat % at the gym and it said i was at 27% fat. i forget what the BMI was.

sorry that was typo lol. i meant to say 249... not 149

ok. thanks a lot guys! I guess my frustration came from when i logged my calories MFP was saying "if every day was like today you'd weight 149 pounds in 5 weeks!" and i was just thinking to myself.... "I'm not even close to that! d@mmit!" lol. Thanks again for the motivation :)
