Hitting the gym 5-6 days a week.  Taking creatine N.O powder and protein.  Packing on muscle fast dropping fat kinda fast.

Jesus Machias.  Did you quit eating altogether...?

[seth30]

I have been walking all three dogs everynight.  IF theres rain I just do a lap, but if its a sprinkle or good weather than its a full 3 miles.  Do about a hundred pushups right before I get in the shower. 

[1morebuck]

Actually I am eating between 1400 and 1500 calories a day, I am never hungry.  I'm telling you if you follow the Nutrisystem diet the weight falls off.  I just dropped below 100 pounds to go so I will be cutting out two carbs and a fruit and eating about 1200 to 1300 calories a day.  I love this diet, it is so easy to follow and the food tastes really good.  My wife is on it and she's lost 14+ pounds.

[bowhunterforever]

Machias, Is the nutrisysem diet expensive for the meals or pretty fair? Sounds like it works good and i may try it one of these days.Thanks

[Machias]

It costs me $279 for 28 days, I still have to buy my fruit and veggies, which I spend about $14 or so a week.  I'm actually saving money though because I don't eat out anymore.  My third shipment comes next week.  For the ease and the results it's well worth the money.  If your going to cheat on the diet I would say might not be such a good deal.

One of the things it really has shown me is portion control.  My daily fat intake is supposed to be along the lines of one teaspoon of peanut butter or 10 peanuts.     I used to eat a bag of chocolate covered peanuts for snack!!!  My nemisis is chocolate, but I get two deserts a day and the Nutrisystem chocolates are excellent, no choc cravings!!  So far the only thing I really miss is fried chicken...but the results are really pretty amazing and LOTS of people are walking up going holy chit man how much weight have you dropped!
