Don't have an exact number (don't do the scale ATM) But if i had to guess.....240ish. Been as low as 189 so i know what i'm doing. Just doing it smarter this time.

No no lol. BF is high right now (monster would be true, if i was 6'4)
I'm like 5'9 not sure on that exactly either. Had a drinking problem a few years ago, and the BF got outta control. Now that THAT'S under control working on stripping the FAT while lifting this time. (smarter) Goal right now is even 200lbs
Long term, I'd love to be 195-205lbs 10% BF.
I KNOW it's possible!!
Anyways i'm just totally against artificial sweeteners going back to the protein deal. Done a lot of homework on them. And recently i've just decided to go as natural as possible (even contemplated giving up meat, yeah not gonna happen) But getting meat from grass fed cattle and such is what i'm looking into now.
Suck but true.
They pump everything so full of hormones and ____ these days..............
If artificial sweeteners aren't they way to go....then what do I use instead?
Or like Krayt said, eat food , course my opinion was if you can't afford the higher stuff but food is first, limit the shakes.
edit: I'll post yesterdays food log here shortly once I get to work.
I had to skip the gym today since I got into a car accident tonight and I don't really got my head into it at the moment.
I'm ok and my car is fine too....i'm still a little shaken up and have a little whiplash in my neck.
But tomorrow I'm gonna double time it!
On a better note....I lost all the pounds I gain over the weekend (you guys where right) plus one! So total is 8! I still don't look or feel any different tho.
Hopefully I can lose a total of 10 by Sunday!!
Thanks guys for helping me out!
It does taste phenomenal but I also go with the number rule, if it taste good then its usually too good to be true.
I always wondered about those shakes, but seeing your food log, seems like you don't use them right?Or like Krayt said, eat food , course my opinion was if you can't afford the higher stuff but food is first, limit the shakes.
U don't wanna no the answer. Honestly it's too much too early for a person beginning to eat clean. If you can stick to the real stuff, like real sugar or better yet just real sodium.
Sugar in general is just bad, it all has a very high percentage of converting to fat anyways, just think about that anytime you are sweetening anything up.
Sodium although I recommend in moderation is ok. I would say around 1-2.5 grams of sodium a day, the body actually needs it but anything in overindulge and you can run the risk of cholesterol problems, heart problems, etc...
Items: Garlic, onions, peppers, fat free cheese (even though I don't agree), Mrs. Dash if you have to, Soy sauce if you have to.
Wow Bam, I hope you feel better and I'm glad you're OK...
Well, I've lost 6 lbs and I definitely feel less bloated, but that's about it... keep up the good work and don't despair!!
!!!
Thanx Kuz!! I can also say that I do feel a little less bloated too......but drinking all this water is nasty and sometimes makes me feel bloated!
I'm starting off small....i drink about 5-6 bottles of water a day, not a gallon yet, but I'm getting there!! And I go to the little ladies room like twice an hour! All this peeing is exhausting!

As a diabetic, this is what I want to know.
Are things like Truvia ok ?
I just don't know.
I drink more water than anything so that does not bother me, but with some things like oatmeal or tea...
Why not go no sugars at all!?!?!
