Hey All! A quick check in after getting all the thyroid and cortisol checks back and finding out why my body was doing what it was doing. I shall leave out all the details of health over the past few years, but things are getting resolved. Be your own advocate! At this time, I refuse to take...

Thank you. I did get a diagnosis after a very long run of tests, etc. Instincts. As a side note, probably from the medical condition and stress around it, my cortisol levels are messed up. Low in the AM and through the rough in the PM and during the night. No wonder insomnia and storing fat in...

Quick update to anyone following. So I did get a crap load of tests done again, over the past 4 weeks. At least I have some answers now. Nothing positive. So I will be taking time to deal with this before I can obviously get serious about training and seeing any gains. I guess it's peace of mind...

Thanks girl! I know, I'm all over the place right now! I was consistent on CKD back in February and March - it felt the easiest to stick to cause food choices were limited in a way. I think Psizzle is doing a Keto style right now. But that AM Oatmeal is tempting. Are fruits like berries OK in a...

Yes. AM fasted cardio starts tomorrow. Took 2 days off from counting cals and training. (and Friday dinner). I'm not going nuts or binging...just eating when I want and what I want. Kinda nice! Listening to body and mind needing to rest. I think I would like some 'help' in the form of fat loss...

Hi Janiman, I know you say you're embarrassed about your height but honestly, that needs to be taken into consideration. I am currently struggling with what works, as what used to work for me isn't doing it right now. That being said, everyone is different. If you are really close to your...

Anyone done a 3-5 day cleanse to give your digestion a break if you're fat loss is slowed/stopped? I'm contemplating giving it a try this week. My idea: fruit and whey juice in AM, Veggie juices through PM and maybe poached fish for dinner, with steamed veggies. Fish oils as my fat. Psyllium...

July 1st. So we're at 6 weeks. Here's the deal. I felt pumped and I am gaining strength in the gym. I wanted to lift heavier today, so I upped my weights a little, still doing a circuit. Felt on fire, positive, etc. Came home, took my photos. Hadn't done it yet. I feel sick to my stomach. I...

Ha! Ya...that's actually a good idea. I'll probably buy some weights down there because I may go nuts without them...there has to be some. I know very little about my location but I know there is some North American like places that mimic a Walmart...gonna try to do some more research. Don't...

If anyone had suggestions speeding up my loss and help this metabolism (still no hypo meds) Would getting rid of half and half in my coffee make a big difference (even eating so low?) AM LISS and PM Training vs Breakfast + Lifting followed by cardio Macros? I know I'm not eating strict...

As far as I know...there isn't one with equipment. There are some mats and two treadmils and a bike. So from the weight lifting side of things I'm a little panicked! Push ups, squats, lunges, crunch...old school I guess?? lol At least I will still be in cutting phase, but I am concerned about...

OK, you're winning! I will step it up. What are the other benefits here for training from upping it? Forgive the newbie sounding question.
