Need help picking activity level
I am currently eating 1800 cals per day which is 5-6 hrs of exercise per week on Scoobys at 15% cut. I have remained on my plateau. I have not really been low cal in years. I believe I was maintaining this weight eating about 2000 cals with no exercise and less LBM for years. I actually believe the weight gain I had at the…

Stuff that's happening to me on amaryl
So yesterday I didn't have anything too strange happen. I was a little groggy which apparently happens the first week or so. Just before lunch my BG dipped to 82 and I felt awful but I ate lunch and was fine. My BG was good all day even though I actually ate carbs. This morning, I ate a little more carbs than normal since…

Went to the dr today
He put me on Amaryl so I can actually eat like a human again. He says if that doesn't work well he'll put me on insulin. He is concerned about me going hypo and since Amaryl lasts all day that may be a problem. He's thinking that a little basal insulin my be a better thing but we'll try this first. Somewhere in the course…

A1C is 5.8
I did labs earlier this week. I don't know the results of the rest of them but the A1C has dropped from, I think, 6.4 3 months ago. The only problem is that most of this last 3 months I was eating about 35 net carbs per day. I have upped it to about 60 net carbs since I couldn't function so low. I'm going to see if he can…

Week 1 sucess
Really, it hasn't even been a full week. So on Monday, I started eating a little more. Prior to this I had been eating my BMR plus some to all of my exercise cals. My BMR is 1260 and I have been eating 1600 plus whatever I need to net my BMR. I have been on a 2 month plateau so am pleased that this week I didn't gain or…

Woot Woot Day 30!
I finished and am overall pleased with the results. I have a ton of homework and some business stuff that must be done by the time I go to bed so I'll do pics probably Friday. Hubs told me this morning that my abs are getting really strong. I'm debating what to do next. I still have 3 days of cardio at the gym and 3 days…

Day 29
Only one more day to go! for me, that won't probably be until Weds or maybe Friday depending on how life is looking.

Day 28
Rolling into the home stretch. My full situps are better but still following Anita. Those rockstars are still tough too. I can do 1/2 to 3/4 of the walking pushups as full pushups and same with the plank on the weights thing.
-
Day 27
Slowly coming into my final 3 days. I'm not sure what I'll do after this. I'll still be doing cardio and yoga 3 times a week so I need to find another at home thing for the other 3 days. I need something that incorporates weight lifting and strength training since I do lots of cardio and stretching.
-
Day 26
Almost there. While I have weighed and measured along the way, I haven't taken pics so I'm anxious to see if I look any better. I haven't lost much in weight and I stopped losing inches too but hubs says I have continued to firm up.
-
Day25
Despite some kind of back issue I managed day 25. I was very much doing the Anita level but at least I did it. I have no idea what I did to my shoulder but it has hurt since the end of last week. It feels like something is inflamed and every jump made me want to throw up. It's like the swelling is putting pressure on my…

Day 23
My second day on L3. Argh. Why are those rock stars so hard? Yesterday I ran 2.5 miles on the treadmill and that was easier than this.

Roll Call part 3
Who's still playing along? Likenooneelse had fab results. She posted her pics in the general forums. Other than Shaymo I feel like I'm all alone.

Day 24
Haha. I did it even though I totally didn't want to. I woke up with a pretty bad pain in my shoulder. I think I did something funny last night at yoga or maybe just slept funny. Pain isn't any worse or better. I'm just glad I made it through another day. I was really trying to do it every day but it has been rough since…
-
Day 22
Remembered to change to L3. Man, that was brutal.
-
Day 21
How funny, I was half way through L2 when I realized I was going to move up to L3. O well. Guess i do that tomorrow. I have to say that I have really improved. I can now do the double jump ropes and hold the static lunges.

I don't seem to have any energy
I have been low carbing for a couple of months. I try to stay around 30-35 net carbs a day or lower. Lately, I've stepped up my exercise and now I'm always exhausted and have trouble concentrating. I'm also losing stamina during workouts. This morning I ate some berries and greek yog which helped a bit with my stamina. I…

I think I need more protein, what can I eat?
I have not felt very well this last week or so. I have been doing more and more exercise which includes a few times a week of getting my heart rate up to max level for 30 or 40 minutes, several hours of yoga a week, and about 2 or 3 hrs of intervals a week. Here's what makes it difficult. It can't have carbs (I'm diabetic…

Tell me what I should put for my activity level
I don't think I'm eating quite as much as I probably should so I'm trying to figure out my TDEE. Right now I eat my BMR plus some or all of my exercise cals. I haven't lost any inches or pounds in about 3 weeks. I'm pretty close to goal which is somewhere between 110 and 118, I'm at 124 right now. Hubs says I'm continuing…

Day 20
I finally was home to do day 20. My last day at L2. I previewed L3, oh boy. I have been very worn out, not sure if it is because I have been doing too much, not eating right or what. Maybe I'm just fighting off a bug.
-
Day 18
It's a beautiful, sunny day outside but I slept in. I ran/walked 2 miles yesterday on the treadmill (haven't run in 25 years) and did a bit of weight lifting after having done 30DS. It's been a busy week back at school too so the 10.5 hrs of sleep was much needed. I'm beginning to suspect that some parts of my body got as…

Day 16
Done, most definitely better after having food and coffee in me. I decided I'm going to have to take Tues and Thurs off from shredding. School started again and my Tues and Thurs schedule starts at 8 doing an hour of conditioning class, psych 10-12, anthro 12:45-2:30, Geology 3-5:30, yoga 6-7:30. By the time I get home it…

Day 15
Dedication. I got up at 5:30 this morning to exercise. I have a dentist appt at 7:30 and then to my first day of school for the quarter. I won't be home until about 6 and then I have to cook dinner, do homework etc and know that I won't exercise. I do notice that eating before exercise helps my energy and stamina. I wasn't…

So do I go by my body fat scale or measurement calculations?
According to my scale which has the electrical current thingy that measures body fat I'm about 35% body fat which is obese. According to the measurement calculations I'm 28% which puts me in the higher range of normal. If I go by my scale then to reach 15% body fat I need to way 96 lbs. I look very emaciated and ill when I…

Cause I need to feel good about me today
I haven't lost anything in the last couple weeks. I've been sticking close to my calorie goals. A little low on the exercise but I'm still recovering from surgery so some days I have strange pains in my incisions and don't workout too hard. So my NSV is the fact that that little roll of fat that hangs over my bra band is…

Best Zumba DVD?
I don't live very close to a gym and really don't have time or gas money to drive to one. I want to try Zumba and want recommendations for a good DVD. Cheap would be good too since I'm a full time student. Thanks!
