Guest guest Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 Ok here is my story. I started BFL in August 2004 and lost 27 pounds doing 3 consecutive challenges. I also lost 6.3% bodyfat and about 30 inches most being from my hips/sagging stomach. I am 5'2 " tall and started at 210 pounds. I am currently at 173 pounds. It took me 4 months to lose those 10 pounds. So in a nutshell I absolutely NEVER miss a workout and I am fanatical about hitting my 10's. I am sore especially after a leg workout I love to do legs I had my basil metabolic rate tested with one of those new MedGem machines in November 2005 and I burned 1,490 calories. So I kept my calories about 1,600 (and a free day) and took 4 months to lose 10 pounds. Now I had it retested in March and I only burn 1,290 calories now. I can't seem to lose eating 1,500 calories and if I go much below I will end up binging. All I can tell you is I am working my butt off at the gym and have a trainer who routinely kicks my ass. The only other variable in all this is I have hypothyroidism but my TSH rate is currenly under 2 and we are trying to get it to .89 as that is where I feel optimal. I agree with Swigg on the sticking with BFL but I feel my body has gotten used to it so I have thrown in extra cardio, mixed up my sets, tried Jillian s circuts. I am truely at a loss what should I do besides throw in the towel I refuse to do that I have come so far even though I have so far to go.
