Huge Congrats from Bruce in Connecicut.............I hit the 50lb weight loss this week as well and know how far you have come.....GREAT WORK.   If your like me it motivates you to keep going baby !!!

Your numbers have improved so much......it is exactly what I experienced which proves fact that eating right and excercise IS THE KEY TO HEALTH.

...............CONGRATS AGAIN

Snoring...........my family would literally have me sleep on the porch at the beach house when we had company sleeping over.........I USE TO RATTLED THE WINDOWS MAN!   I am off my sleep apnea machine......no more snoring and I unplugged the machine this week and put it back in the bag.  I am finally dreaming again which was impossible before because I would never get to rem sleep........it's so good to dream again........HAHA!

The clothes thing is really funny........I have just begun experiencing shopping at normal stores again with normal prices.  HAHA

 Again.....congrats buddy.

Hey Cole, I am very strict with food due to diebetes. No potatoes, no pasta...eating very little starches except for Weight Watchers wheat bread which has a great protein - carb balance.  My protein comes from chicken breast, lean ground turkey, venision and very little beef or pork.

I eat very little sugar. My carbs come from oatmeal, veg, fruits ect. My diet balance is 40%protien, 40% carbs, 20% fat.

I was 300 lbs and have done a good job losing almost 50 lbs and the fat remaining is all around my mid section which we all know is the hardest to lose. Unless I am missing something with diet..... I don't see the kitchen being a real contributor to my belly fat.

First...let me say your not alone...very common issue with "eliptical" training....happens to me as well.  Second...your working your muscle groups way to frequently.  If your training them hard during the session they DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH REST TO RECOVER/BUILD/TONE. 

Basically your over doing it in all aspects of your workout.  Work one/two muscle groups per strength training session PER WEEK.  Do cardio on an "off strength" training day.

Sorry to say......but the absolute best thing you could do for your body at this point is to stay away from the Gym for an entire week......get good sleep and for God sakes let your body rest.......this is very important for sustainability.

I work hard in the gym as well and hated to have to do the same thing a couple weeks ago......took a whole week off........was on the eliptical today for an hour..............no back pain tonight.....trust me it works......LISTEN TO YOUR BODY!

Forget the grade guys.....watch your calorie limit......make sure your carbs/Protein/fats are proportioned correctly....for me its 40%/40%/20%.......keep an eye on the piecharts...it tells a better story.

Keep the faith! 

Hello Betty from your new neighbor in CT  !!!

I am tow day old memeber myself so us "nubbies" gotta stick together.

Hope all is well and WELCOME.....this a great site to help you track calories.

take care........Bruce  

Its about habit.........crapy reply I know but I was in the same boat as your.   I faithfully drink 1-1.5 gallons per day.....matter of fact Poland Springs just delivered another 25 gallons......truth.

So how do I do it...............I break it up into thirds.  One third before I leave home in the morning........another third before lunch and another before dinner.   I do not chug but I do drink the thirds in short period of time.........like half an hour.

First two weeks.......get ready.......you'll be peeing every 1/2 hour.  Body then adjust to normal.

It is really about habit.............I will agree...it aint easy but so what if you screw up one day......you still be head at the end of the week.

Drink Up !!
