Jacque's Journ(ey)(al)

Hi everyone. My name is Jacqueline. I decide to join this forum after reading through tons of posts for the last couple of days. I cryed thoughout all of Bunnys log and she is a TRUE inspiration to me and is now officially my *new* Idol!!! and I hope I don't creep anyone out but... one of her pictures is my new wallpaper on my computer!! :heart:

I am 27yrs old and am currently sitting at 199lbs after my Saturday carb fest and Friday morning TOM. Saturday morning I was 190lbs, an hour later 193 and so the day began. I am 6ft tall and around 26% BF. I have a really large frame. My bone structure is larger than most mens. My hands are bigger than most guys I know. This is not an exuse.. I know my BF is high. But I also know that I hold a ton of lean mass as well. I look fit but I want to look leaner!! I have a journal else where but it's really quite *dry* over there.

My diet is quite consistent and breaks down to aprox.
70%Fat 25% Prot. 2-5%Carbs. Between 1700-2400 cals
I feel really crappy most of the time on this diet but it is the only one I have been able to control my cravings and see 'some' results. I am pretty much following a CKD diet though I will be switching to a TKD once my lifestyle changes a bit.
My favorite foods are fruits and vegetables and I could go the rest of my life without eating meat.... but this really wasn't working for me. 5Yrs or so ago I weighed in at 230lbs. Have no idea what my BF was cause I was on a starvation diet.... glued to the scale!!
This time last year I was around 180lbs. Met the man of my dreams and shot up to 212lbs by December 2005.
In January I started the Body For Life Workout plan but not the diet. I felt much better and started noticing muscles popping out everywhere but no loss on the scale which was fine cause I knew I was adding quite a bit of mass and though my diet wasn't bad.. it definately wasn't clean nor consistent.
I ended up getting stress fractures in my ankle and shins and could barely walk. I switched my workout to a full body 3x's a week HST plan. I also switched cause I noticed my joints were getting quite sore. The only cardio I could do was the bike and all I did was a 10 min warm up before weights. I started that one on April 04, 2006.

I am now going to switch to Upper/Lower split HST "type" plan. With full body on Friday. M/W upper and Tuesday lower.
Upper Body consists of:
Dumbbell Shoulder Press, Lateral Raise, Front Raise (Shoulders)
Barbell Bench Press, Cable Press, Flyes (Chest)
Seated Row and Wide Grip PD (Back)
Upright Row and Shrugs (Traps)
Skull Crushers and single cable pulldowns (tris)
Preacher Curls and Hammer Curls (bis)
15reps each of these

Lower Body
Squat, stiff leg dl, seated calf, lying hams, leg extension, thigh abductor and adductor, side bends, cable crunch, stomach vacuum, dumbbell calf raise and cable kickback.
15-20reps of these
I find the higher reps on lower body work a bit better for me.

I would really like to fine tune my work out and diet and KNOW that this forum is the place that I NEED TO BE!!!
I am really emotional today... and REALLY REALLY need to make my goals. I am sick of being fat and having such low self esteem. My boyfriend is a total HUNK (bodybuilder) amazing body and I feel like such a frump with him. When we go out I swear I hear people whispering... what the hell is he doing with her?? I know why he is with me and I guess that's all that counts but I still NEED to start feeling better about myself physically. I know I am an amazing person on the inside but my body doesn't reflect the person that I am on the inside.

I use alot of flax oil on my salads and cook with coconut oil (which I love)
I use a multi-vitamin.

PLEASE feel free to STICK YOUR NOSE IN MY POSTS!!!! I would absolutely love any help anyone can offer!!!
 
YOU my dear, and the reason I put my life out there ... here you are ... You are welcome here ... :heart:

From what I have read... You always seem to know what to say!! I really appreciate your kind words!!

And thank you all for the awesome welcome!! I wish you all the best!!
 
Well I accomplished quite a bit today. Had no problem getting back on track with my diet after my carb up day (cheat... though I should definately make it more clean)

I didn't eat enough today.. but I never do on Sundays.

#1 - 4 eggs scambled in coconut oil and 2 oz Avocado
#2 - 2oz avocado with 1 tbsp mayo
#3 - Dandelion tea with 1 tbsp cream
#4 - 1.2 oz cheddar cheese
#5 - 3 cups brocoli w/ 1tbsp flaxseed oil
5.7oz salmon fried in coconut oil topped with 2 tbsp mayo and 1 tsp dijon mustard

I also had a tim hortons coffee double cream somewhere in between feeding my horses and weeding the garden.

Cals: 1521 Fat: 76% Protein: 21% Carbs: 3%

I am really bloated today... TOM and cheat do not go well together but I did notice this time around that my face stayed less poofy than usual. Normally on Sunday my face looks really swollen.

I was wondering if anyone on here was doing a Ketogenic diet? I must search through this site a bit more. Haven't had much computer time lately.

AND... What is this Karma thingy? or where can I read up on it? Thanks guys!! Tomorrow back to work and back to the gym!!
 
LMAO Q-tip I find it really hard not to drink it with*out sugar so since I started this diet I have gone from 1 pot in the morning and a ton of tim hortons double doubles to maybe 1 or 2 cups a week. I drink a lot of tea lately tho!!

Hi and welcome! Have you read about Shadow's Project? I started 2 weeks ago, this is my third starting tomorrow. I had wrong macros in my diet, and that was not helping any. I was a fat carb a phobic. It has been good with a clean diet! I even eat PB. I know it would be great if you tried it!

:garza: Sawmill! :garza:

The last 2 years of high school I worked at the sawmill next door after school. Shoveling sawdust, sharpening chipper blades, driving the really big front end loaders w/bucket chained to it. That's where we put the sawdust & chips that we swept up, then I dumped it. I didn't even have a license but I was driving that FEL. I made $5.00 a week & got free Sprite to drink ;) It wasn't much money but the guy who cleaned wasn't in the best of health so I didn't really mind.

I will tell you that I only climbed inside the sawdust bin 1 time to clean it out and I swore I would never do it again and I haven't. It was the old kind where you had to park the truck underneath and manually open the sliding bin door to fill the truck. Completely made of wood. Skeery chit in there. :worried:
 
lol... You guys are a BLAST!!!! I will look into that shadow project...thanks for the advice!!! AND BUNNY!! I feel privledged that you even look at my log.. so jacking is just fine!! lol
 
Well I am down to 193lbs... 3 weeks ago I was at 206lbs. My cheat days are pretty nasty. The last one I had 1/2 loaf bannana bread, 2 large choc chip cookies, tons of fruit and vegetables that I am not normally allowed to have, coffee crisp ice cream, nachos and sour cream. But once my binge is over I am glad to say that the following day and thoughout the week I NEVER cheat or even think about indulging. I really think this diet is good for me.. I normally have out of control cravings.

Yesterday I did upper body HST. First day of starting this new split.

10mins eliptical
15 reps of each exercise
-lateral raise
-front raise
-dumbell press
-cable flyes
-dumbell chest press
-seated row
-wide grip pulldown
-skull crusher
-cable press down single arm (tris0
-hammer curls
-preacher curls
-upright dumbbell row
-shrugs
Ended with a little stretching and then back on the eliptical for 10mins

My nutrients for the day CALS 2544 FAT 67% PROTEIN 31% CARBS 2%

Went over on my cals for the day

It's really weird, somedays I feel quite thin... and days like today my stomach feels HUGE!! It's pretty dicouraging and I am really hoping that I am not losing muscle along with fat.
My diet pretty much stays the same,... either tuna salad or chicken caesar salad for lunch, and my dinner is always meat and green veggie. I always have eggs for breakfast.
Once my horses get home I am going to switch to a T-dawg type diet of TKD with a cheat day. But forego the morning carb. I did this a couple months ago and noticed a huge difference in my stomach.

STFU = Shut the F*ck Up (and Train) - it's Shadow's little saying.....kinda like Nike's "Just do it"

And let's not get into a contest on eating!! :FRlol: I can pack away some stuff too!! :evil:

Have a great day yourself!!
 
I'm late to the piece but just wanted to say welcome - the EF ladies board is quite a special place.

I'm interested in the sawmill you work at. What kind of timber? Do you make boards or just prepare logs? I work at a sawmill company too, but we make flooring on our site. I now know more about timber and saw kerf than I ever thought possible. LOL.

Glad you're here :) Good luck with your goals.
 
Geesh I don't know what is going on with me lately but I went over my calories again for the day... still eating clean tho. I am wondering if the extra cardio after my work out is doing it to me? My body seems like it wants to refuse to just let go of this FAT!! lol
I did my first day of lower body HST today and 20 mins cardio.
I superset my whole routine.. doing 15 reps each
Squat
Leg press
seated calf
lying hams
stiff leg deadlift
side bends
vacuum (stomach)
adductor
abbductor
sit ups on incline
kick backs
cable curl (stomach)
dumbell calf raise

Since most of these were *new* exercises to me I kept the weights pretty low until I get the proper form. The deadlifts felt weird!! and so did the cable crunch!!

We cut everything from Fir to spruce. Our logs come in from the log yard.. go through a debarker (17" 22" and 34" debarkers) then they go through either the 4 saw or 5 saw and are cut to lengths. Then we have to lines. Canter and Chip n' saw which actually cut the logs into boards. We cut 2x4x8 all the way up to 2x12x20 footers. We used to cut 1x3's as well but not anymore. Then the wood goes to the sorters and then either to edgers or straight to the j-bar(green chain type thingy) and the boards are fed into lugs, scanned and dropped into appropriate sorted bins. Then off to the piler where the boards are stacked and then off to the kilns and then off to the planer.
Some of our wood gets shipped via train and the rest by truck. Our lumber even goes all the way to Japan!!

Have a wonderful evening and see you guys at 3am... Yark it's already 11:30pm I really should hit the hay!!!
NIghty night

Normally, your body will tighten up over time from a healthy, clean diet. It does not happen at the same time for everyone, and make even take years for some .. depends what your working with too .... got pics? :Perk:

We are often our worst critic ...

Remember it's a Marathon, not a a sprint ... those come later :evil: :D

Happy Hump Day! :wavey:
 
This week has been really good..so far. Last week I had ABSOLUTELY NO ENERGY at work but had decent energy at the gym. This week I can actually make it though my whole shift without wondering when it's going to end..??

EEKKKKSSSS...PICTURES????? lol Well now....lol Can I suck in my stomach? lol

I dropped another lb today.. down to 192. I decided to weigh myself tonight before I went pee and then after. I dropped 0.5lbs just peeing. Yesterday I dropped a WHOLE ONE POUND peeing. That seems really odd to me..but anyways.

I finally went and bought some dextrose to add to my whey after my workout. Yeah and the kicker... I LOCKED MY KEYS IN MY TRUCK AT THE HEALTH FOOD STORE!! AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Boy I'm getting pissed at myself for this. That's the 5th time in like 4 months.
Oh yeah pictures.. I will try and get some done tonight. The problem is I just bought a new computer and can't seem to find the installation disk for my crappy camera. But I will search through all my boxes for it!!
Out to mow my huge lawn.
Will add more later.
 
One of my buddies called last night.. I asked him if he would take some pictures for me. He was all over that!! lol Even offered to use his camera..lol Ahhh.. yeah.. I don't think so. I don't need half naked pictures of me on someone elses camera.

*Bunny* Thanks for the insight!! I was reading an article the other day about women and training re: intense exercise and eating. It pretty much said women seem to do better with moderate exercise... eat less. Intense exercise they seem to eat more. I don't know... a little whishy washy to me.
I kept my cals lower yesterday.. though boy oh boy did I want something to eat before bedtime. I resisted!!! I was really looking foreward to cottage cheese and flax seeds with some almonds. I thought for sure my cals would allow for it.. but they didn't!! Maybe today.
I had a really good workout yesterday.. Upper body.. I ended up doing a couple exercises after my program was done. I did an extra bicep and tricep exercise. I like supersetting my whole routine.. though I know once I get closer to failure I will end up needing a couple 30 second breaks or so.
Full Body depletion on Friday.. then CARB UP!!! Yeeehhaawww!!
MENTAL NOTE*** RESIST Donuts at safety meeting today and tomorrow!!
 
Great job on resisting the urge :) I was about to down cookies & milk and thought WTF and I thinking ...

Re: ^^^ scale ... After a huge "carb up cheat" I can drop 10-14 lbs in 2-3 days easy ... not odd at all when you think about what your body is doing & how it is reacting to the foods your eat ... :)

Use other means to track progress in addition to scale ... tape measurements , PHOTOS , mirror, clothes , US .. post pics :)

If your body & muscles are hungry you need to feed them, NOT starve them. YES, intense exercise should cause an increase in food for the body's working muscles ... I love food, LOVE to eat, and cannot simply eat less (GENERALLY SPEAKING) ... I'd rather train harder ... But I am abnormal :)

So yes, that would make sense if you break it down but IMO, & personal experience ... no amount of cardio or training can make up for a clean / healthy diet ... (credit to Mod Pinto) Period ...
 
Well down to 191lbs. Another pound.
No workout today but felt absolutely starving on my first break today.
TOTALLY resisted the 10 boxes of donuts that walked past me at work today AND all the bread sitting on the counter at my moms house.. ahhhhhh!!!!
 
I thought I would post my progress by date

May 23 205lbs -- starting weight
May 25 203 (-2lbs)
may 26 197 (-8lbs)
may 29 202 (-3lbs) after carb up explosion
may 31 200 (-5lbs)
june 02 202 (-3lbs) period.. normally gain 7-12lbs on my period
june 05 200 (-5lbs)
june 07 198 (-7lbs)
june 09 195 (-10lbs)
june 16 193 (-12lbs)
june 18 196 (-9lbs)
june 19 194.5 (-10.5lbs)
june 21 192 (-13lbs)
june 22 191 (-14lbs)

I know I shouldn't get caught up on the scale. I am usually the first person to tell everyone this. AND actually I stood up in a weight watchers meeting and lectured everyone on this. I don't think they liked me all that much!!
I do take measurements but I'm not all that consistent with them.. tightness wise.
I can't for the life of me find my calipers or I would do that as well.

How does everyone measure? Do you pull the measure tight or leave one finger under the tape? I don't really know how to do it properly.

Had a good full body workout today!! I was there for an hour and half. Which isn't too bad!! I superset my whole workout so it went pretty fast.
My stomach looked really good when I got home... but not now!!
Decided not to go to the drive in tomorrow.. I was asked to work overtime tomorrow at work.. and well.. I said yes.. Now I regret it tho..lol So the drive in is going to have to wait till tomorrow night. BUT I STILL ATE JUNK!!!
I raced home after the gym and had my yummy shake!!! No more plain whey, dex and water. This had all the goodies!! Frozen berries and bananas and soy milk!!(going to have to get rid of the soy tho. one day!!)
Then the cheat really started!! I ate a TON of cherries, strawberries, and 1 piece of whole wheat bread with butter. Yummy!!! Then I fell asleep... wolk up at 9pm and raced off to feed my horses. I have to get up at 3am tomorrow for work and it's already 11pm and OBVIOUSLY I am NOT tired!!! After my hour and half nap!!
On the way home I grabbed 1% milk and life cereal and chocolate and chips. Neadless to say I AM NOW OFFICIALLY SICK and I gained 5lbs in like 2hrs!! grrrrrreat!!!

OMG.. of course spf!! lol *retard*... lol I have to find sunblock that doesn't irratate my skin. I have never tanned like this before. I usually always burn!! I am pretty fair skinned. You will probably never see me outside without a hat.. so my face is still pretty fair.

First of all, Great job on posting those pics... GREAT JOB!!! You look awesome in red btw :)

Since we are often our own worst critics, you just have empowered yourself more than you realize ... YOU HIT REPLY ...

For best results or side by sides, try to keep the same poses, outfits, lightening etc, even with measurements (by the way ARE JUST #'s!!!) so you can see/track your progress when you don't SEE it, but we might, the scale may not, but the clothesmay start fitting differently etc ... but hell I post up a ton of pics either way .. post whatever you want :)

I think a clean diet is going to work wonders for your body type & skin tightening, along with lifting some heavy weight to build some muscle & fill you out a bit more .. IMO I think you have GREAT shape to your legs and obviously an awesome back ...

I will say, I am NOT a fan of CDK for #1 goal Fat loss, I've seen it backfire too many times, but if it works for you, then by all means, I hope you can be the example of what happens when done properly ...
 
Oh Bunny!!!! Thank you soo much for your reply. I still feel sick to my stomach with those pictures but your reply has really helped me.
I have been working soo hard for the past couple of months and I feel like.. OH GAWD... all this work and look where I am at!!
I really feel like I am losing muscle. I think I should probably change my diet up. I just find this one so easy to stick to.. and well.. I am losing weight and my arms and back are more defined.. but those damn thighs!! I have absolutely NO CRAVINGS on this diet and I feel totally satisfied with it. I used to really suffer with NASTY cravings all the time. On my cheat day I actually don't even feel like eating. It's weird.
But again THANK YOU SOO MUCH FOR YOUR POST I know your really busy and I really appreciate you taking time to look my log over.

I agree with Bunny - half the battle is getting the courage to post the pics in the 1st place and you WON that battle!! Yayyyy!! And also like she said, by posting the pics - we will most likely see the changes before you......

Good job hun!! :heart: :heart:
 
Thanks Jens!!
Now I think I really need to re-evaluate my diet and stuff. I think if my cheat days didn't get so out of hand it wouldn't be so bad. I don't think I am reaching ketosis quick enough during the week.
I would really like to get back to the basics of just raw fruits and vegetables and fish. I think I may start back on that on Monday. I miss my fruits and veggies.

^^ see bold... :)

Have you tris a regular Base 40/30/30 to start? Then as the week is over (or btter yet two) assess your cravings .. One meal once a week, a DECENT cheat, Not the entire day b/c then the next 3 days you'll be all sad & in tears b/c the scale is 5-6 lbs heavier than it should be ... (water) .... if you can look PAST those #'s, and are training HARD throughout the week .. it really shouldn't matter too much ... you're body will rip right through thoese cals eventually...

My cheat were VERY healthy, but after I got to where I wanted to be, I got a little more adventurous ... and the feeling of "should I eat that & feel bad" syndrome, faded, still there, but NOT SOOOO bad ...

For me these days ... if there is one ounce of guilt, I try NOT to eat it ... Took me a year & 6 months (on July 25th) to get to that step though, doesn't happen overnight :rose:
 
I have tried a 40-30-30. For about 3 weeks. I was sooo constipated that by Saturday I was in soo much pain I could barely handle it. I don't think my body can handle that many carbs. I also had a real hard time being conservative with my carbs.
BUT this diet I am on is really screwing with my period. I have had it 3 times this month already... getting pretty sick of that!!! (JUNE..not july)
I might try cycling my carbs. MWF No Carb; T,Sat: High Carb; Th, Sun: Low Carb.
I really do think that a lower carb diet is best for me. My energy levels are really up and down on it but I really feel in control!! And usually 2 days after my cheat day I feel absolutely amazing and sexy and skinny!! I loff feeling that way!!
 
Sunday

Okay I am going to do a little cleanse today and see how I feel tomorrow.

#1 Hot Water with a couple slices of ginger, 1 med. banana and 10 cherries.
#2 Nectarine and cherries
#3 0.5oz almonds
#4 4.9oz avocado
#5 Protein shake: unsweetened soy milk, cranberries, banana, mixed berries and 2 scoops whey isolate.

Cals: 1487 Protein: 89g (25%) Carbs: 219g (50%) Fat: 39g (25%)

Is there any reason I couldn't stick to something like this and see fat loss? or would I lose to much muscle cause of the lower protein?

If I eat healthy and keep my calories below maintenance shouldn't I see results?

Oh hell you're not a fat cow - I didn't see any cowbell in those pics so Stop that!

I'm familiar with slow results but the fat fairy didn't just drop the extra stuff off overnite and she won't come take it back all at once either.

You just have to pick off an oz or so at a time and give it back to her. ;)

It's called fat-spam and I plan on sending her lots more! ;)
 
Thanks Que... Your soo sweet. I don't know what happened to me yesterday. I am usually an extremely positive person. I am used to seeing results quite quickly and I don't think I have ever worked soo hard for this long and barely see anything happening. It's just frusterating I guess...that and the x is driving me insane.
I know I am not the only one who feels this way and I do feel a bit better today. It's just once I start second guessing what I am doing I start feeling a bit hopeless. I guess it's also hard cause no one else on here is doing a keto diet and I feel like maybe I shouldn't be either. So now I am stuck on just raw fruits and veggies all day, protein shake after my work out and salmon, green veggie and flax oil for dinner. I am second guessing this now too. My stomach isn't soo bloated today but my face looks fat.. AHHHHHHHHHH!! lol

*NOTE* next time keep my cow bell on for my pictures...lol hehe

Dinner was yum!! Salmon w/ lemon juice and a small avocado... tastes yummers together!!
Lunch: no fat cottage cheese flax oil and almonds
Breakfast: coffee
Ate fruit and veggies for the other meals.
 
Your diet seems all over the place! One time you are no carbing it, and the next you're eating a bushel basked of fruit. Have you ever tried a good, clean diet with chicken breasts, tuna, salmon, lean beef, rice, sweet potatoes, and low carb veggies? Don't get me wrong, I love fruit myself, but it seems like sometimes you are getting too much.

Please post up your work schedule so we can get a better idea of what kind of schedule you are on. I want to make certain recommendations, but just don't know what is feasible on your end.
 
I am having digestion problems right now and I am trying to get that sorted out. Hence the fruit during the day and protein at night. I am slowing cutting out the fruit and adding more protein during the day.
I have tried eating totally clean (like what you posted) and I get soo constipated. The only time I would go would be on Saturday (my cheat day) I went off of the low carb (as much as I loved IT!!!) because I got my period 3 times in one month. Which I am still on and it has been 8 days long so far. Which to me is unacceptable. My body has to be telling me something.
I never eat carbs past 5. Yeah I know.. my diet is all over the place but my work outs are consistent.

During the week I get up at 3am to get ready for work.
My job is VERY physical. I am on my feet working hard all day. I work in a sawmill. I get off at 2 and head to the gym, where I do 20 mins of cardio and superset my whole work out. I alternate between upper body and lower body days. I do between 3-4 different exercises for traps, shoulders, chest, back, lats, bis and tris. Lower body I do abs, quads, hams, and calves.
Lower body 15 reps of each exercise

Leg Press
squats: legs together, shoulder width and wide stance
leg extension

Lying leg curl
seated leg curl
dead lifts
cable kick backs

15-20reps for calves
calf press on leg press machine
single dumbbell standing calf raise
seated calf press

abbductor
adductor machine (inside and outside thigh)

side bends
inclince crunches
ball crunches
cable crunches
 
Okay, I had the feeling that you worked like a early morning to early afternoon type schedule. The best thing that I have done with clients that wish to shed weight is the empty stomach cardio first thing in the morning. When you wake up, drink a quart of ice cold water and do a half hour-45 minutes of cardio. There is a method behind this madness, believe it or not. Another thing you can do is train with weights first, and then do cardio. You aren't doing enough cardio to get the fat burning process started. At 20 minutes your body is just starting to cross over to the "fat burning zone". Push it to 40-45 minutes after your weight workout.
If you follow these two guidelines you will find that you can pretty much eat whatever you want.
If your work schedule doesn't allow the early morning cardio, do it on the weekends. Take that dog for a brisk 45 minute walk early in the morning. That always works for me.
 
I have stress fractures in my left shin starting at my ankle so I am limited to the type of cardio I do. I find the eliptical to be painful but I can bare it so I try and stick to the eliptical.
Saturday: I do 20 mins HIIT on empty stomach on the eliptical. 5 mins warm up and 30 secs level 10 pushing hard and 1 min level 1 but still motoring!! Isn't that better than doing longer less intense cardio?

Thank you SOOOO much for looking at my posts!! I really appreciate any advice and take it very seriously!!
 
Yes I do have an early shift. But there is no reason why I couldn't get up a bit earlier and do cardio in the morning. ACTUALLY every morning I wake up and say god dam girl get on that eliptical!! BUT I just don't do it. NOT EXUSE. I guess I think.. well I pretty much do cardio all day at work..lol then I work out... yeah.. bad bad!!
Then when I doing 10-20g carbs I thought what's the point of doing cardio on an empty stomach when all my glycogen is depleted anyway. I always find some sort of exuse. I really don't mind doing cardio after work.. I just can't seem to get my ass in gear for morning workouts except on the weekends.

OH YEAH I also superset my whole weight routine. I sweat like crazy
 
I took my temperature this morning... ( I had already gone pee and answered the phone) and it was at 94.46F That seems a bit low to me. I will do it again tomorrow and see.
Right now my temp. after moving around all morning and doing cardio ect.. is at 95.72
35.4C
 
Those low temperatures upon waking are far from optimal for fat burning purposes. It indicates to me that you may have a bit of a sluggish thyroid. Perhaps a visit to the doctor may be in order to try to get that addressed.

Your question on HIIT cardio...HIIT cardio is more for advanced trainers that have hit a wall with standard cardio and are looking for something to break through a plateau. You can save it for later down the road. I would still highly recommend trying one week of 40-45 minutes of elliptical training on an empty stomach at 70-80% of your max heart rate. A good rule of thumb is if you can't carry on a conversation with the person next to you, your heart rate is too high. There are charts on elliptical machines to follow that are age dependant. Since I have no clue how old you are, I'll leave that all up to you.

:confused: Were you using a site like www.fitday.com to track your fiber?? That seems like such an unusual side effect of healthy eating.....I mean to be healthy, there's no reason you can't include lots of fruit & veggies.....
 
Looks like we got a girl who ain't afraid to get naked in front of a camera!

All jokes aside, it looks like you are not far off. You do not distribute your fat in a typical female pattern. Your legs are lean, and your arms and upper back are very solid. Pay no attention to what the scale says as far as what you think you are supposed to weigh. So many women fall into that trap. A lot of stars and models lie about their weight, so it gives you a goal that's not even attainable.
 
Well I definately look a lot more muscular in person... lol I get a lot of guys coming up to me in the gym asking if I am getting ready for a competition..lol

But my legs definately need a TON of work. they don't have very much definition and my thighs are gross.. I also have cellulite on the back of my legs and bumb!! Which is a fairly recent addition to my body!! I can't stand it!! Oh well.. I'm a work in progress.
 
I generally weigh in between 186-196... I easily fluctuate between 8lbs during the day.. which is really depressing... I know.. I NEVER USED to weigh myself.. I actually never owned a scale before and in all honesty I don't really care how much I weigh I just really want to shed bf!!

BEING FEMALE, THIS IS TOTALLY NORMAL!!

So don't fret!! And don't weigh yourself so much....and actually scale weight is not really a valid measure of progress so to speak - as increased muscle + bf loss can = no scale weight change......Someone here once posted that they lost ONLY 2 pounds, yet dropped 4-6 pants sizes.....

Hey, J, listen to the lady.

Sometimes, it just takes time - slow and steady (= consistency) wins the race.
 
Well I forgot to take my temperature this morning... Grrrrrrrrrr!!!
But on a good note... I went to the washroom like 3 times yesterday. And 3 times during the week. Much better than only 2x's per week.
191lbs this morning weight. ( I couldn't resist)
Going to do cardio this morning.. thinking of going for a bike ride!!
 
I am going to Merritt Mountain Music Fest for my holidays. I will be camping for a week and half.
When I come back from my holidays I am going to start a 40-30-30 or The Shadow Project. Maybe I will get more support if I stick to what you guys are doing. I WILL start doing morning cardio and weights after work!! I hope I will be able to control my cravings on a diet like that.
I know I can stick to anything as long as I am seeing results!!
So I think I will start a new log when I get back.

I will be taking Kelp and l-tyrosine and a multi as well as coral calcium and maybe some extra b vits
