Thread: Firm For Life

Stacey, just pm'ed you my email, if you want to see the pics.

awesome thanks honey!!

i wanta see

Okay I'm hooked on Diet Cherry Coke!!!!

FuQ!
I only have one probably 2 days a week.. but is this hurting me..???

And I do Drink one regular diet coke a day.

But I get in 5-6 liters of water a day!

Hi J'bo you're funny!

I will post my before pics in my journal. I got a little shy I guess, my abs don't look like yours. But if I can get them looking even close, I'll be jumpin'!

Hiker...oh brother i am sure your abs ROCK babe.

Stace...no it wont hurt you...they are starting to give me headaches now though and bloat me a bit...watch for these signs

stacey from what i understand there is a soda called "diet rite" and it doesn't have any artiical sweetners in it, but rather splenda. So that may be an alternative option to boring water. I haven't had a diet coke in 5 weeks : (

Stacey, only if you mean by hurting, that the chemicals in diet coke are slowly eating away at your insides! LOL j/k
Sorry babe, couldn't resist! I bet that two a week are not going to hurt you in any way and are probably good for your mind, to think you are getting a little treat.

Thanks J'bo, they will rock for sure. As to whether they do now....actually I am happy with where I'm at now, just always looking to improve.

Hardasnails~~ WoW I'm so honored to have you in my journal!!!
Thanks for the tips! I'll look for that drink!

Go you..no diet coke in 5 wks!!!!

The only reason I drink diet coke is for a little energy kick..since I'm not aloud to take any ephedra or supps anymore I have been having trouble getting through the afternoons at work..sooo these help me a lot!!

ohhh and Hickerchick..lol..u crack me up!

can always do green tea. its strong in antioxidents and can excellerate metabolism by up to 4% by itself alone. 500 mgs of green tea Standadrized at 50% EGC's with 3 meals. It also aids in glyocegn disposal as well. (little known fact so good to take with carb meals). r ala is also good to take with carbs meals as well. It not really a supplement but rather one of the strongest antixoidents known as used in anti aging (reason for my youth full looks)

Like me always looking to improve

why can't you take supplements ? You mean stimulants ? then you have to work through diffenent pathways then.

caynane pepper - raises basal metaoblic rate though increased thermogenisses
, 500 mgs L carnitine - used to immobilizes fatty acid as primary fuel
, 1000 mgs l-tyrosine - adds in helping you stay motivated and postive moods while in restricted caloires
7 keto - doen;t raise heart rate but aids in maintaining lean body mass while in restricted state

these are just a few

sorry to whore up your journal Stacey, but hardasnails what is "r ala"?

nooo problem Hickerchick.. I have been learning/researching r-ala's all week.. soo I hope he explains them to you in here!!!
