thanks. i do the things you mentioned, but i need a fat burner in addition. another member helped me find lipo6.

Also be careful don't bulk like me I got way too fat I thought I could eat whatever I wanted in any amount

just let it motivate u more....and dont let it take away from what youve accomplished. not many people can say that they did something like that. truly amazing. its so hard to make changes. i really believe that!

i saw your pictures you look amazing and youre inspirational youve lost almost 100 lbs!! keep it up!!! yay about heavy lifting but of course be careful!!!

Crazy numbers on the leg curls and extensions so jealous can't wait to heAr about the measurements!!

take care and get better...

Record your exact macros. Like, 300 carbs a day, 150 protein, 70 fat, or wahtever it is.... and yes clean up the diet, distribute the protein more evenly. there are two meals you get very little. minimize clif bars, crackers, and that bagel.... you work out three times a day? extra sets dont sound that high quality, workout once a day make it high quality with the compounds and then let your muscles rest!

get swol and lead by example.

You are right about the alcohol, but i know how hard it can be to cut out. But honestly 2 bottles of wine a week isn't too terrible. You should plan on decreasing it though especially as you get older. IT will be harder on your body. also alcohol is a depressant and may be contributing to your lack of motivation. and lifting sucks the day after you drink and will surely hamper your feats at the gym. Make sure you are hydrated. One gallon of water day, key for muscle hydration growth and fat loss. You may be eating the wrong things and not enough. Please provide a detailed list of your foods, timing, and macro levels for an average day.... I understand about your motivation. I suffer from the same thing...but at the same time I'm sticking to a really strict cutting diet and seeing great results. The fatigue and hunger limit me from doing really much else besides working out and work. I just turn on the netflix or hulu and night and zone out, which is not something I want to do for the rest of my life but for now its ok. the split my trainer gave me and gives everyone is: 1. Back and hams. 2. Chest and biceps 3. Legs and abs 4. shoulders and tris 5. cardio and abs. 6. rest start over. if you are going for size you could just do a four day split and not worry about the cardio, and take more days off. as far as volume is concerned, rotate it. one week for for high reps, the next week lower. you cant do the same thing over and over and expect your body to keep growing, it just adapts and gets easier and the results are less. it's the same idea with fat loss, that's why i have to keep increasing my cardio and making it harder, and decrease food...so again we are going for different goals but the same principles apply. i would highly recommend compound movements with free weights to start each of your workout days - so back would be deadlift and barbell rows, chest would be bench, legs squats, shoulders military press. then towards the end you could use machines to really fatigue the muscles. but the compounds are key and the only way to really gauge your strength.

haha no not the kids, i meant the ppl who question your heavy lifting. thats awesome that you are educating your kids...i work with kids as well but in that particular setting they arent fed well at all. plenty of food just unhealthy stuff.

ok thanks anyway

veggies are all good and screw the haters

OMG CONGRATS!! HARD WORK PAYS OFF! are the tabs sugar free? if so can you link me?

diet looks great. how to the glutamine tabs taste? i switched from nasty powder to pulls. hoping they absorb just as well.

once a week it's ok to go crazy on food i say, its working for me so far (-20 lbs). dont sweat it

all the cardio and dieting will catch up at end of week. always does. dont worry.

You can really see all the hard work you put in in your arms and back! bigger and leaner! nice job!

this is one of my pipe dreams, although i have a regular 9-5 in social work. need to start thinking about getting certified in P/T. i agree with the other posters that unfortunately ppl have messed up ideas about nutrition and protein as it relates to plant based nutrition so a client base might be hard if you are that strict with the diet.

haha i love when the corn makes an appearance ha.

cant wait to see!

thats the worst when cheat meals dont live up to what u want them to be. weird tho chipotle always delivers!

u really trashed it!

seems like you have a beast upper body!

what if youve been accidentally using non vegan vitamins for the past year. grr.

well did the doc say what the cause was? or ways to treat/manage?
