Sorry I didn't respond earlier. At 5+ months I lost those love handles and actually have a six pack now for the first time ever. Total fat loss was almost 50 pounds. Now I'm shifting into bulking mode....I'll post new pics soon. I went right to the 14 day routine. The only problem I...

Well, I've been on a quest to get my abs to show. In the fall I'll be more liberal on the weekends when I really start to bulk up. Was kind of funny, the weekend was a bachelor party, and most of the attendees I hadn't seen in years had put on quite a barrel around the waist. I received a ton...

Great reading....thanks guys (and gals)....

I fed my body TOO much. I still ate fruit and oatmeal....I just heaped burgers, and sausage, and pasta salad, and chips, and veggies w/ dip on top of it....so I don't see how I could have lost any muscle. Body was getting more than enough of all kinds. So based on what the Chicken Daddy said...

I've spent the last four months working my ass off. Strict diet, great exercise. Lost 40 lbs. and my abs are almost totally visible and I've gained some muscle. Mixed in cardio and can run 4 miles without too much trauma (unless it's hot).... Went to a friend's bachelor party last weekend...

I just have to say I think Mike runs the slickest ship I've sailed on in the e-business sea... Was out of one flavor of product, so he sent me the vanilla and a gift voucher for half-off the next one. Always responds to problems (which there rarely are).... Nice operation.

Awesome! Thanks guys... (Was out of Flax seed oil AND Whey protein...a real crisis. :) )

The actual store processing portion anyway. Looks like it has been for a while. Anyone have the inside scoop? Anyone have an equally effecient and price friendly place to order from? Avantlabs I guess?

Been using Whey Protein and Flax Seed oil...that's about it for supps... Lots of fish, brown rice, oatmeal, chicken, and leafy veggies.... Once a week doing a cheat meal (not insane cheat, just like steak and potato w/ butter)..... Now it's just a battle of stubborness against these remaining...

I can handle eating a lot of Oatmeal, Salmon, Mahi-Mahi, Green veggies, brown rice.... It's the Tuna that gets me....so easy to prepare with some Flax and Mustard, but I get really sick of it...

Having spent a long time doing both: Pilates is all about your core ab muscles...it's great if you're bored with your situp routine. Some of the advanced exercises are absolute killers. Pilates is about using gravities natural resistances to build core strength with some flexibility mixed in...

So that consists of going off the diet (not going overboard) for two weeks or so?

I just can't get over how much of my bodyweight was FAT! I started in February at 214, yesterday I weighed in at 178. That's 36 Pounds of FAT! And in essence I'm really an ectomorph. You can see my progress pictures here...

I'm pretty sure I'm doing everything right. I'm still losing like .5 to a lb. a week without burning off too much muscle.... But these love handles seem to be going away SO SLOWLY! Is that normal? I really don't want to tinker with CKD and all that uber-low carb stuff. The diet is good, and...

Cool...thanks!

Ok, so it's essentially agreed upon by lifters and fitness folks that Splenda and Stevia are the way to go if you must sweeten something?

Most Google links snub EVERY ONE of those sweeteners....including Splenda.... http://www.holisticmed.com/sweet/#guide SO I guess I should try to find some Stevia then?

Ok, since I just got back from the java shop down the corner..... :) The two types they have down there are "Indulge": which says it's got Dextrose with malodextrin and aspartame. The other is "Sweet and Low, which has "nutritive Dextrose" and Calcium Sacchrin. If I have to choose between...

I've got I bet maybe 7 pounds of fat left to lose to have highly defined abs, and I'd like to have it done in about a month (I've already lost 30 pounds of fat over the last 4 months) I've been having a large cup of coffee with a single half-and-half micro-container, and some sugar substitute...

Hey, me too! Just bought a mountain bike and rode that around the hills here last weekend.... Running is good, but it's really pretty redundant. I don't understand the endurance thrill heavy runners get. I dig on the post workout buzz, but the act itself is dull... Kayaking is awesome...
