u need to shift those ratios around. u should up the protein and lower the carbs.

Update:

so i've been cleaning up my diet. I got inspired by a post on here where the guy ate like a ton of tuna.. so yesterday after working out i had a rtd51 shake, then turkey and cheese for lunch, a can of tuna w/balsamic vinegar for meal 3, and grilled chicken salad for meal 4, and before bed i had a designer whey shake..

and i'm -4lbs this morning I'm used to seeing immediate results on the scale like this.. i know it's water.. but i'm definitely psyched about keeping up the work .. tatyana's equation in her signature is what i keep reminding myself!

hard work +consistency +time = results!

Also- I'm taking a green tea supplement.. it's liquid drops.. 1ml = 500 ecgc.. and I increased my water.. so i'm not sure which of these changes or if all of it is working together.. but i'm happy to be lighter!

P.S.- this last week i've also tried quinoa, and it's good! I got the red kind, and it has fiber, protein.. like a miracle grain! it's a good substitute for white rice which i was used to having..

yes.. my arms and legs are getting more defined.. and the tummy's a lil flatter! I am perpetually sore tho.. it used to be that i would be sore only in the beginning of a workout program.. i just need to be consistently challenging myself.. i really can't wait for all this weight to come off..


i'm so happy i stumbled onto this board.. i think focusing on building muscle, and changing things around has helped me mentally too.. i have struggled with mental blocks to weight loss..and i think i just found a loophole in my thinking..

yes..i'm glad i got introduced to it now.. so i can add it to my diet for years to come.. it's got a light texture too..not like lentils.

I EF guys and gals!!

hey all!

just wanted to give a quick update- since my first post on this thread i'm down -11 lbs!

So nice to see the 170s

I'm actually very lucky since my diet's not clean, and I haven't been going to the gym as much as i'd like.

I've started taking some CLA and chromium supplements, as well as omega fatty acids, and vitamins..

I'm really glad i found this place, and "found" myself.. i was in denial about these lbs for a good year b4 i decided to do something about it!
