Thanks, M, it feels great to be taking care of myself.
The thing I think surprised me the most about myself was that when I started the FIRM tapes, I decided the only way I could fit it into the day was to work out in the early mornings. I am WAYYYY not a morning person, so the idea of getting up an hour or more before I had to get ready for work was horrifying, and yet, I did it. Once I got into the habit of getting up early to exercise, I loved starting my day that way. And when I injured my back and had to take a few weeks off, I really missed it! L, who never knew she would LIKE working out at 5:30 AM! |

Just have to toot my own horn...
I started the FIRM tapes about 2 years ago, and loved them, but got bored. So I joined Curves this past January, and after two months I made it into the ELITE club- lost a total of over 10 inches and 5 pounds. Go me! L., a former size 18, now a 12 and possibly EVEN a 10! |

Oh, and don't forget that weight training will ADD muscle mass, and muscle is heavier than fat. You can be losing body fat while simultaneously gaining weight in muscle mass.

YOu are correct NJC, but I had checked the body stats on your profile before posting it and neither of you are even mildly obese. There is a difference between a few pounds overweight and obesity. Therefore, using it for a few pounds weightloss, like I did, raises the risk according to my doctor.
Also, my posting was not meant to tell you what you are supposed to believe or do. It was merely what happened to me. Nowhere in my original post did I say to not drink Slim fast. In fact, I even drank it a year after my gallbladder surgery. I figured I had nothing to lose at that point except the weight!! LOL |

Found this info on the Vanderbilt University site:
"Studies show that 25% of the people on liquid diets develop gallstones due to their inability to contract bile." I wanted to post that in case anyone was going to disagree with my doc's opinion. (trying to stay one step ahead of anyone, lol) And yes, Poly, your symptom is another side effect. "Eventually, liquid diets can lead to the development of muscle cramps, anemia, dizziness, menstrual abnormality, and constipation." |

We came up with an idea since we have to be tricked into exercising. We thought we'd invite Poly and her family to stay here free of charge on their next FL trip. In return, we thought they could beat us into submission until we got more serious about the program.
