I think it has to be either implants or an altered image. There is no way training to make ones arms that big would leave the forearms that small.

That is a very good possibility.

I understand that 1 to 2 pounds per week is standard that is accepted. The fact is that with what I had to lose, that would have taken me between 2 1/2 to 5 years. I would be very surprised to see someone stay focused for so long since seeing any significant results would take forever. I do not believe I could do it. I am…

It sounds like alot but I started with over 250 pounds to lose. When you have that much weight, any activity has some pretty serious calorie burns. Include taking in a resonable amount of calories and I was dropping pretty fast. I know the next three months I probably wont lose at the same rate, although I would like to…

Wecome to MFP. Good luck on all you hope to accomplish.

That's the method I was going with. It would have been easier, but he was trying to give me web addresses to look up.

Congratulations on your success so far. I am always happy to have motivated people on my FL. I may not be super chatty, but I always try to comment on a job well done or give a word of support on the rough days.

I do not deal with joint pain, but I had my first serious carbs last weekend for my birthday. My allergies which were very minimal since I went low carb came roaring back. Allergies have always triggered asthma issues, so I had to use my inhaler for the first time in over 2 months.

I have lived in Cadillac, Mi my entire life. Thats about 1 hour south of Traverse City and 1 1/2 hours north of Grand Rapids.

I'll send a FR. I eat under 30 carbs during the week and allow around 70 carbs on the weekends. I have been doing this for almost 90 days now and am down 86 pounds.

I almost put Rachel Bilson on my list. Put Salma Hayek instead. It could easily go the other way tomorrow.

Tough call. If I was forced to choose: Megan Fox Torrie Wilson Nicole Scherzinger Jessica Alba Salma Hayek These could be different by tomorrow. Well except Megan Fox.

@fawndam Are you into casual sex or should I dress up?

I was a little before midnight, but I had a low carb wrap with cooked ham, peppered turkey, cheese slice, pickle chips, with a little steak sauce (I know this might be considered weird, but I put either steak sauce, taco sauce, and buffalo sauce on just about everything). I cant remember the exact number, but right around…

Amazing difference, especially for 13 pounds. Congratulations.

I do not agree with the premise that following a low carb eating plan sucks. I love carbs also, but since living low carb, I have no "cravings for them" and am rarely hungry between meals. Every so often I decide to take in some extra carbs to enjoy things I used to eat regularly. I do this because I do not think there…

Oops....thought I was on the boobies friday post...

Reminds me of the Ren and Stimpy cartoon. "DO NOT push the red button..."

Knowing that 95% of the time the motivation shows up once I have started. As to what actually gets me started in the first place, one good look at myself is generally all it takes. Of course, I'm not sure that will continue to be as effective the closer I get to my goal.

Same boat here. I was never a competitor, but was very serious about lifting. Working my way back.

My wifes son told us this one when he was 12ish. If you were a booger, I'd pick you.

1. Take medicine and multivitamin with first water of the day 2. Use rest room 3. Stretch legs for activity number 4 4. Walk (2 hours plus or minus)

Completed Wk 3 Day 1 (I did a couple more than required on some sets and did another set of 10 at the end) 15 20 15 15 20 10 The last set of 20 was fairly difficult. Day 2 has a significant jump in numbers required which makes me a little concerned.

I'm going to have to try this. Although I have not been having bread cravings, it looks like a great way to get fiber back into my diet. I am not big on vegetables (working on it.....slowly).

If you go to the same website and scroll down a bit, you will find a tab to take you to a sit up challenge. It's a 200 sit up challenge, but you could take it as far as you want. Edited because the quote was not right.

I started it 2 weeks ago. I just took the 2 week follow up test and did 30. Not bad since my initial test I only had 12. To be totally up front, I can not do regular push ups yet (carrying 200 extra pounds will do that), so I am doing slanted pushups for now (45-55 degree angle or so). Once I finish the program, I am…
