I'm doing the MedGem test this morning. I'm going to lift today and maybe do some cardio if I have time.

I agree with this theory. I feel your body gets used to more and more exercise and it doesn't work the way it used to, just like it gets used to less calories when "dieting". All I know is that I was gaining weight while teaching 14 classes a week and eating well. I was also waitressing then too with 10 hour shifts most days. I should have been a toothpick. (We really didn't get to eat when waitressing. That is what happens when you work banquets.)

There has to be a big shake up to get things going in the right direction again.

LOL...what a polite way to say you had gas. I just say I am jet propelled. Very embarrassing when teaching classes. Anyway...almost all those bars do that to me. I think I am sensitive to soy.

Good luck finding a top.

Theoretically, if I eat less than my RMR and lay down doing nothing, I'd lose weight.

Another thing that stumped her is that I increased calories last summer by 200-300 and lost 10 pounds and 3.3% body fat by changing the composition of what/how I eat. I told her I have increased in the past and gained weight.

I had the carrot cake flavoured Clif bar tonight and it was HORRID. OH MY GAWD. I'll stick to chai tea Luna or chocolate mint Clif if I want a change. I notice a lot of you eat the Zone bars, are those good?

The only Clif bars I like are the peanut butter based ones.

well, a calorie is a calorie in terms of when your body burns 3500 more calories than you've taken in, you'll lose a pound. but everyone acknowledges that a calorie isn't the same as all other calories when it comes to the efficiency of our metabolism. (not to mention not all calories are the same when it comes to nutrition, psychological effect on hunger, etc.) and there is a lot that the experts don't know about our metabolisms.


as far a tour de france people, i think that jibes with what erin was saying. i wish she would stop by to explain this, because i never completely understood it. but those tour de france people, they do soooooo much more exercise during the tour de france than they do the rest of the year. what they do during the tour de france, NOBODY'S body is used to. you, jean, keep increasing the intensity higher and higher when your body gets used to exercise, and i think that's exactly what erin was saying made her "fit but overfat." i think what erin

I have to say honestly that I don't buy what Erin said about working long periods of time at moderate rates for burning fat.
