Yeah, it's sad, but she's a go-getter. Actually, I'm surprised she's lived as long as she has, being the family's Token Yankee for so many years. Believe me, she's caused a few southern bells to drop their mint julips, no doubt!

Tuna's a bit hard core.....I think chicken will be a nice compromise. Maybe trout, if I'm lucky. *insert scene from A River Runs Through It here*

that is correct, you will survive and overcome!

Re: gains...The only psychological aspect, or source of frustration, about "gains" for a person in my position is that they are almost impossible to see due to the %BF we' re dealing with initially. So, unlike the individual who starts at, say, %10BF or less, who can slowly, but consistently, recognize an increase in muscle mass visually, we are forced to deal with something I refer to as "trading", during which one has to rely on minor changes in appearance, or a generalized sensation/feeling of an increase in 'tone' as BF levels decrease and lean mass increases. It's more about maintaining the belief and/or confidence that something is actually taking place moreso than having visible proof on a regular basis.

I think you right about that. I'd say the majority here are like you described, me included, that any changes made can probably be seen visually in rather small amounts of time. What I believe is the hardest part is to overcome the frustation. In fact, that's your only obstacle at this point. Once you beat that, you're home free. Ophra once had a show on about overweight people making very substantial weight loss improvements. And the common theme among all of the guests was a dedication to eating more smaller meals and exercizing. That's it.

Keepon doing what you're doing and you'll overcome the frustration. In fact, you'll be giving advice about how tough it is to overcome and how you beat it!

Alright, we're back.
No diet changes to note at this time.
I'm having computer problems....we'll report back in a couple of days, max.
Sorry for the lack of input.

Triple Threat · 08-20-2003, 01:49 PM

Yea, DaMayor's back. Hope everything went well.

Well, everything went......"well" is debateable.

I am trying my damndest to get this God forsaken dinosaur of a PC back into shape. Thus far, I have had little luck.

I will be back as soon as possible.....when, hopefully, I will be able to type more than two words per minute.
Again, I appologize.

DaMayor · 08-25-2003, 12:11 PM

Alright, I'll just have to deal with the condition of this computer....for now.

Here is today's target...

7:30 LeptiGen (Standard dose of 1 TBSP, typical)
9:30 Meal 1 (Calories were slightly low for this meal)
11:30 LeptiGen
1:30 Meal 2
3:30 LeptiGen
5:30 Meal 3
7:30 LeptiGen
10:30 (or before sleep) LeptiGen

A couple of (training) changes....

I am going to a full body work-out three times a week, and am going to start running on off days. I am doing this for two reasons. One, I feel that I am not doing enough to promote fat loss. Secondly, I am coaching a soccer team in weeks to come, and it would be cool if the coach didn't look as if he were about to have a coronary when running with the team.
I realize that this might increase the odds of losing lean mass along with fat, but at this point, I'm all about loss....period.
It's time to do the hard stuff. Hopefully the LeptiGen will cover my six.

DaMayor · 08-26-2003, 09:25 AM

Went to the gym yesterday, strength is still pretty good. I tried to decrease rest periods between exercises and move from one station to the other a little quicker than usual to get more of a circuit training effect. Afterwards, I went to check out our practice field and ended up running/walking 2.5 miles. The change felt good....painful, but good.

Re: the LeptiGen...I noticed this morning that my LeptiGen is down to about an inch high in the container.....
Tweak days really ate it up.

Meal 1
2 whole eggs
1/2 cup oat bran
coffee x 2 cups
suppliments
10 grams fish oil

1 tbsp. LeptiGen

Meal 2
1/2 chicken breast (3.0z. est)
1.5 cups mixed veggies
16 oz. water

Meal 3....

Good to see ya round man

DaMayor · 09-04-2003, 09:03 AM

Computers.....don't they suck?

Okay, let's type this AGAIN....

Okay, boys and girls. It seems that we have reached the end of (this phase) of our journey. I am now out of LeptiGen II. At my last weigh-in, I weighed.....Yep, you guessed it, 236 lbs.
Now, I suppose I could jump up and down, ranting about how LeptiGen didn't do Jack-shit for me, but I don't believe that this is the case entirely. While I haven't lost any "weight", my appearance has changed, albeit a slight change, and I feel much more tone. This all goes back to the theory that I might be "trading" fat for lean mass....hence the stalled "weight".
Regardless, the Leptigen did do Something.

I have since increased my cardio/HIIT, and expect to see some sort of results in the next few weeks. Also, when it is monetarily possible, I plan to have some blood-work done in the hopes of deciphering my metabolic issues.

But for now, it's all about working harder and thinking more positively.

Thanks for the opportunity, TP, sorry I couldn't offer more dramatic results.

Hey, its all about honest feedback.

Seems like you have had some positive nutrient partitioning effects, but certainly not the dramatic effects we had hoped, or others have reported.
