Loved this article.

And I just want to  point out, dairy, vegetables and fruits have carbs in them.  Some more than others.  But my point is, one still gets carbs eating vegetables (not potatoes), fruits and other whole foods. So, considering that there are already carbs in the "good stuff", I dont go out and seek bread/rice/cereal/pasta.

Thanks!

Anything for a fellow lifter!  If we ever meet at a conference, it would be fun to hit the cable machine with you!

Great article! Thanks for sharing this!

Sisterscaleback congratulations on how far you have come so far! 

I know in the first year I lost on average 13 pounds a month - and it took me about 10 months to reach my goal weight. My highest weight being 311 and my pre-surgery weight being in the 270's. 

Our friends may very well be right about where you need to be calorie wise to still loose weight. I thought I was going to loose at 1500/day plus TON's of fitness - but that hasnt been the case. I have readjusted to 1200 a day. 

Well done so far! 

Thank you so much! I have lowered my calories to 1100 - 1200 and so far it seems to be helping :)
