Hey, a fellow member of the hundred pound club!  The elliptical is a loving godsend. I can do cardio and what's left of my knees doesn't complain at all. New page video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcMOG0ECqDU

Is this video for real? I'm watching it and it seems like it's cool information but it could be a troll, so I'm not sure, though I'm only a few minutes into it.

I think that will be Friday's workout. Regardless, I weighed in again today and I've only lost 1 pound, and that's super lovely and discouraging. A little pissed right now actually, because I've been going pretty much daily and I've gained on all my lifts and blah ... e/n whining.

Monechetti you could be retaining a bunch of water or something, is the 1lb loss measured at the same time of day you did last week?
|
| # ? Jun 27, 2012 17:01 |
|

Yeah, I weigh in every 2 weeks at about 10-11 in the morning. I keep going back and forth between ketosis and glycolysis so that might have something to do with it. I've gained tbw weight - 3 pounds - and have "lost" 1 pound, and my body fat % has gone down, so I'm hoping maybe I've put on water/water weight and lost some fat. Better than not losing anything whatsoever

What are you eating? Can we see some examples? At your weight it should be relatively easy to lose like a pound or two a week diet alone.

Yeah, I'm restarting keto Saturday, so I'm going to do that for two weeks and see if strict carb reduction helps. I'll log my diet with my workouts, though.

30 minutes cardio, alternated between all out, high resistance and lower resistance for 1 minute, every 3 minutes, to try and burn off glycogen. I'm restarting keto today for the whole month of July to see if it kicks me out of this plateau. Also gonna start logging what I eat. 2 strips of bacon 1/3 cup mozzarella 2 eggs water with lemon 4oz roast beef, slice of cheddar salad with black olives, ham, turkey, parmesan cheese, italian dressing I WAS going to macro this poo poo out but I don't care that much right now. If I go over my 1800-2k self-limit of calories I'd be very surprised. After a few days of keto-induction-slugfest, I should be fine.

Yeah, I've heard BCAAs are legit. I just don't want to buy a bunch of worthless poo poo - they just built a GNC near me and I went in and bought protein powder and the dude was like "you should buy some of our BCAA, silk amino acids, dur 77 dollars a bottle" and I'm kind of wary.

I've heard ON was a good company, but a lot of what I'm reading suggests that powder is the best way to get BCAAs because you need to take a shitload of pills to get the same amount of aminos. Dunno, gonna research more, but thanks for the input. I was mostly concerned with brands because the prices vary so friggin' wildly. 35 minutes cardio 100s Bicyclesx2@15 reps Body weight squats x 100 Calf raises x 100 Monechetti fucked around with this message at Jul 11, 2012 around 18:10 |

BCAAs are legit, but probably more trouble than they're worth for you right now. I like them for after working out when I'm bulking and doing like 6 workouts a week, because they reduce my recovery time. When I'm doing LeanGains they're also nice pre-workout but I've found a cup of coffee works just as well. Are you taking ANY supplements at the moment, aside from protein powder? If you're curious, you could always brave the spergy wilds of the supplement thread.

I am taking Censor (I needed fish oil and the dude at GNC wouldn't stfu) - it's omega 3/6 whatever that's supposed to help with fat loss. I'm taking about 4 capsules a day. I also take a multivitamin. I've checked out the supplement thread, but it's taking a long time to chunk through all the pages of stuff. I'm trying to lose weight but also increase my muscle. I eat fairly healthy but if there's anything else that I could/should be taking that might help, I'm all about it.
