  • Just ignore him. Men have a much easier time losing weight for a variety of reasons. Just keep doing what works for you.

  • Lyle McDonald comes to mind over at bodyrecomposition.com. Might be worth a quick read, he's a genius. I rarely go over 100 carbs and when I go keto, like now, I don't even eat 20 carbs. I also cycle, lift, etc every day. Don't panic, but you're not going to be a fantastic athlete during low carb periods. But you won't…
    in Paleo diet and Ketosis- Questions about Maintenance Comment by oskeeter1 May 2013
  • My husband and I spend $15 dollars each a month for Fitness 19. The hours are convenient, there's no contract, tons of weight lifting machines/cardio machines, and even more importantly, no one uses the olympic barbells (but me and maybe one other person each time I'm there). We used to spend $60 ish each to go to the 24hr…
    in How much is your gym membership? Comment by oskeeter1 May 2013
  • This is a typical week for me - Monday through Friday mornings - i alternate between workout A and B (below). If I'm especially tired though, I'll just walk at an incline for an hour. Workout A - warmup, 5 set barbell rows, push ups, pullups, 3 sets deadlift; 1 to 2 minute high intensity cardio between each set; 10-15 min…
    in What Does Your Exercise Regime Look Like???? Comment by oskeeter1 April 2013
  • I love the gym - but I'm usually there at 5am and my focus is olympic weight lifting. Right now my husband nd I have a membership to a tiny Fitness 19 a block away (for $7 each a month) - convenient enough to go twice a day. There's no reason to wait for machines, just be flexible and do sprints or another exercise until…

  • The posters above have already covered most of what I would say. I struggle with binge eating too. What I found really helpful was reading "Salt Sugar Fat: How the Food Giants Hooked Us" by Michael Moss. It helped me see how absolutely revolting processed food is and how aware the people making it are of the effects on…
    in Most I've ever weighed, Bloated, & Scared...... Comment by oskeeter1 March 2013
  • Weight loss does slow down (get harder) the lighter you are. Are you training with a heart rate monitor to better track your expenditure? The machines and even the expenditure estimate on this site can be wildly off. A good base workout program is: 3x week intervals (at least 20 min), 3x week weights (1hr), 3x week steady…
    in Cardio + Lifting Comment by oskeeter1 March 2013
  • You should honestly be so proud of yourself. Losing 82 pounds is HUGE. I second the other posters - drop the doctor and find one that's more supportive. While some medical issues are genetic, I bet meeting with a nutritionist would help rectify the nutritional deficiencies that are causing the dental problems (and probably…
