I'm on my 4th week of BFL. Before I began this week, I was down 8 pounds. Today I'm up 3 pounds. I know weight can fluctuate with water gain, etc. it's just...
It's normal to gain pounds of water after a free day due to the sodium/carbs. This is Tuesday. Did you take a free day this weekend? If so, you shouldn't be...
I too weighed myself today and after dropping 4 lbs was up 2. Good to know about weighing the morning of your free day rather than just random days in between....
Honestly, eat whenever you need to in order to have a strong workout. Some people do best on an empty stomach and some people perform much better with food....
I freaked out yesterday because I took measurements and some of them are up. I am up 1/2 on chest and 1/4 inch on waist. Shouldn't I be losing there as well?...
Measurements go up and down. Part of it is operator error because it's damn tricky to get the tape in precisely the same location with exactly the same amount...
Thank you!!! I did happen to take the measurement sucked in but didn't pay any attention to that one and guess what?its almost an inch smaller! In case I have...
Hi Toni, Thanks for sharing your lovely story and for the encouragement. It's awesome that you did so well and I wish you all the best with your current goals....
Kathy...I hope I am not being too harsh,but all I have to say is you have to WANT IT bad enough to do it. That is the motivation you need...you NEED TO WANT...

Others might be able to give you a better answer, but I think that if you need to eat a couple of ounces more, then just do it. It's more important to stay...
Yes, I have noticed that fish is not as filling as chicken too.I think fish digests alot quiker. I just eat more steamed veggies if I am not full. But is 4 oz...
I know my numbers came out funny. I had made a chart which didn't show up correctly...oh well. The Special K with milk has 20.67 pro and 29.8 carbs. I...
Ok, here goes: I did BFL last summer for eight weeks and I was very displeased with my results. I wasn't getting smaller and leaner, I was getting bigger! I am...
It sounds like you've identified what was wrong in your diet which is good. I think having too large of portions might have been the problem. The food is...
I just ordered and received a set of body fat calipers. I followed the instructions, and used the fat pinch 1" above my right hipbone, which gives me 27.3%...

Huh..now I'm really confused. I used the Rusty Iron calculator this morning (using 3 areas of measurement), and got 23.7% bodyfat. That's quite a diff from...
That will likely give you another reading entirely, and it will be even less accurate if he's never used calipers before. In the hands of a pro, 7 site tests...
I bought a box of Labrada Lean Body Gold protein bars (caramel cookie twist); unfortunately, try as I might I just don't like the taste. I believe there are 8...
