"YES, I want to join this challenge".



it would be cool if we could get this to automagically got get your most recent weigh in entry so that nobody has to do any work.

For the past 2 months, I get severe headaches every time I do strenuous activity.



Are there any experts out there that can provide some insight? Anybody experiencing the same thing?



Is there such a thing a exertion headaches? or is it all in my head?

great work! please keep us posted!

thanks to everybudha.



today i was totally hydrate and had good nutrition.



my trainer still feeling like gumby in the end... but at least i don't feel like a DIZZY gumby.

you are a rock star!

I am working with a personal trainer and he is pushing me appropriately hard. Harder than I would if I were on my own.



Lots of progress. and I am happy.



However, today he beefed up the leg press to 380lbs. I could handle it but I got VERY DIZZY and nauseous.



I didn't do so well on caloric and water intake this morning. Is that the cause?



i felt much better after a eating a banana, handful of wheat thins, and a subway salad. I am also back on the water.

What typically is a good food to take in to avoid dizziness?

Blest, I struggle with this as well. Thanks for posting this query.

last night, there was a guy who fell asleep on an ab machine at the gym.



He was totally snoring and drooling.



funniest thing that I have ever seen in a gym.



everyone was laughing.



i tried waking him up... but he wouldn't budge.

and you are my fellow americans"

cool v. campaign going on...



throw away your vote for pedro t-shirts



this might as well be a Saturday Night Live skit.

Hi Gabriel,



okay, you are about to read a lot of "I" statements. I tend not to tell others what to do... because I am not trained in this whatsoever. I do tell people about my experience and allow others to draw their own conculsion on what's best for them. If you want more info... simply message me.



Firstly, I met with a dietician and my doctor to work out a meal plan. I experienced similar weight loss as you did when I first started my weight loss plan. To date, I have lost 94 pounds and have successfully kept it off. I lost a lot of weight at the beginning (similar to your rates). I started at 300 pounds and in the first few weeks, I lost a considerable amount of weight.



You will receive a lot of advice here... some good... some bad... some from people who have specific professional training... others not so much.



From personal experience, I found it difficult to achieve a healthy-balanced intake at the sub-1000 caloric level. I have several tools that I use to achieve a new healthy lifestyle. Msg me if you want more info. Above anything, I have found that consulting with health PROFESSIONALS really helped me.



The next thing that comes to mind that may be helpful to you is that I log all of my intake into fitday.com... there are other sites too. These sites do a good job highlighting nutritional deficits that I am experiencing.



Good luck in your journey, personally... I do not believe that you have sabotaged your metabolism and I think you can be on a healthy track within a short amount of time. Message me if you want more insight.

this is really exiciting... thanks for sharing!

this week and last 206.4... no change.



I will offer this... maybe the results don't need to be captured... perhaps the 'checkin' accountability is good enough?

It was great fun... I did better than I expected

if you don't use fitday.com ... don't bother reading... just want to save you time...





okay so I went out to a restaurant for lunch today... and went to type in my caloric intake on fitday... through the process, i learned that dietfacts.com will automatically export/import restaurant items into fitday.com for me... very cool...



i just love the internetS

i have started to the slow burn workout with a personal trainer... only lifting once a week for 20 minutes... of course, i continue to do other cardio...i will report back on it @ wk12.

Was the Thymus gland named after Don thImus?

Here is how I think of things...



There are 3 things in play...



1- Nature (your genetics- body make up - hormones - etc)



2- Nuture (practices - beliefs - habits - from childhood and on up)



3- Choices



Learn, understand and RESPECT 1 & 2... and 3 will be much easier...
