For a 12 week period to lose max body fat, which do you think is best? 1) circuits plus pure cardio 2) full body weights (ME, PH etc) plus 6x/week of cardio 3) PLB/PUB weights plus 6x/week of cardio 4) 3 day splits (GS, SH, PS) plus 6x/week of cardio OR Wk 1-3 circuits plus...

I'll have to give that a try. I'm iffy on the splenda though...it might be a problem for me. Right now its all hit and miss. I'm keeping a journal and writing everything down that I eat and then rating it on how I feel. I just had yogurt with blueberries (low in sugar fruit) and I don't like how...

I'll look into the blastocytis thing....I havent had my stool tested but mayeb I'll think about doing that. Yesterday I had a great day right up until I took a bite of a brownie and then instantaneously I felt the symptoms again. I'm going to go get some yogurt at the store in a minute since I...

my problem isnt constipation or diarrhea...its horrible gas.....horrible smell, horrible pain, like I just want to curl up in a fetal position. I can see my stomach bloated with it and I can sometimes even see my stomach move with the gurgling and stuff. Today I had NO sugar, only protein and...

Does anyone have any experience with this? I've had stomach/intestinal issues for as long as I can remember. I've been diagnosed with IBS (don't think that's what it is) tested for celiac (negative), and finally stumbled on candida while doing a web search. Not all of hte symptoms but most are...

so i bought the book last night and skimmed over parts of it. I understand how much cardio I need. But if I'm aiming for fat loss initially, and am only doing weights to maintain what I have, it sounds like circuits would be great for that purpose. Agree or disagree? As opposed to doing...

I noticed on the website that he addresses the issue of can you burn fat and gain muscle at the same time (no apparently). So he says to choose one goal at a time. How does he suggest you lose the fat? Lots of cardio and no weights?

I suck at checkins but I'm interested too!

I joined a 12 week challenge at my gym and my sometimes trainer told me I should do Body For Life. She knows about my history of thyroid stuff. I'm not sure why but I've really been fighting with her suggestion for hte past 2 wks. I cannot wrap my head around the cardio principles of BFL (20...

thank you so much for your ideas! I think I will start the WW and see what happens. Do you guys eat your APs and/or Flex points? AS for the workouts, funny but I JUST made up a rotation utilizing pure cardio and circuit workouts only. I figured this was the way to go. Glad to hear someone else...

anyone do Weight Watchers? I'm interested in what people eat to maximize their points?

I have horrible allergies, not sure to what though. I have found that often doing a workout temporarily relieves them not makes them worse.

Ok how about instead of a zone bar I have one slice of ww bread and 1T peanut butter. still not sure on dinner.....thinking on it....

RE: 12 Week Challenge to lose max body fat....please he... bestician, how weird is that that we're identical? LOL What goal weight are you looking to get to? In a dream world I choose 125 but I'll take 130-132. What are your current plans for trying to get there?

actually i used to be able to eat a more "normal" amt of food before my thyroid thing. But now its low low low only it seems. Its VERY hard for me to do which is why I have yet to be ablet o make any headway in weight loss I guess. I've heard that for people with hypothyroidism they should...

I have nothing but positive things to say about match.com. I had quite a few dates initially (its feast or famine with match.com) and within 2 months met my current boyfriend. We're very serious now and unless something drastically changes, we'll be getting married and be a match.com success story!

my thyroid levels are supposedly normal so I should be ok now. I'm 5'5 and weigh 153 lbs. I like the suggestion of making a batch of stuff on Sun and putting it into containers. Any suggestions on meals? SOmething alittle more exciting than chicken, rice and veggies?

I know it is low in calorie but honestly, with my current thyroid situation this is the only way to lose.

I seem to have a real problem with any food that isnt already portioned out for me. LIke if I made dinner, andt here was any extra beyond my portion I'd end up eating all of it. That's why the Lean Cuisines' work well. Plus I'm so darn busy I usually have no time to cook.

I'm trying to lose wieght and this is my eating these days: B- 1/2 c old fashioned oatmeal with 1/2 blueberries and splenda and 1 T walnuts S- string cheese and apple L- salad with 3 oz chicken or tuna, 1/4 c goat cheese, 2 T light dressing S- zone bar D- Lean cuisine/Amy's frozen...
