:eek: :confused: :mad: :confused: :eek:

watch out!!

I am not from new hampshire - i only live in this godforsaken state... :D

I am a New yorker born and bred... and will be a new yorker til i'm dead. :D I bleed yankee blue :D sorry kids :)
 
i can respect a yankee fan from ny as long as you are from there....

we're just treading water as our boys get off the DL and are ready to kick some booty!
 
You guys are too funny with all this fan talk... I thought NH was not that far from NY... he-he-he. You guys have some hard-core fans for those teams... Here in MD/DC I don't think people are that passionate, although to be honest I have not been to a game, so guess I would not know...

:)
 
In Indiana, we have Chicago or Detroit teams...yuck. I imported the Red Sox. Pats too. Charlie Weis...ND king of the world, came from the Pats.

WE GOT SWEPT BY THE ROYALS! COME ON!

Sky...how you doing???? I just got back from my little holiday and I thought I would stop by and check up on you. Are you over your plateau??? I was reading your diary about the Red Sox, they definately would be my favorite US team next to the Blue Jays.(This is the only Major League? team we have in Canada.:p ) But I can't wait until HOCKEY Season starts....Yes Yes Yes. :D Yahoooooooo....;)
 
Skyler.......................WHERE THE HAY ARE YOU...................COME BACK..............................PLEASE....:(
 
Well, Skylar can be chalked up with the bermuda triangle and sasquatch as some of lifes get unsolved mysteries.

No, but in all seriousness I hope she just met her goal and didnt need the forum anymore
 
i'm back and ready for some help!

well, i'm back....and i need some advice....

So, I've hit yet another plateau and I'm looking for some guidance. I am an exercise junky (i love it, but that does cause me to get stuck in a routine b/c i'm not bored w/ it, i dont change it and then it stops doing all the positives it was at the beginning..

anyways, i have plateau-ed at 143 lbs for 3 months now. I've had longer. Yeah, not fun. Anyways, i obviously need to CHANGE something but that is where my question lies...

small background is that i lost 15 lbs, eating about 1200 cals/day and exercising 4x long cardio, 2 x weight training (full body), 2 x pilates, 1 rest day and occasionally yoga...then i stalled (again) and it was apparently that i wasnt eating enough calories w/the amount of exercise expenditure....upped to 1500 cals, lost a few pounds and am stuck again...a nutritionist said to up again to 1700-1800 cals/day which i am at now (as i did it slowly and it has been 3 weeks at this nutrition intake).

Questions
I want to lose another 10-15 lbs...and i want to SEE the muscles that I feel under this last layer of fat....however, i'm not sure what to do to get there (that is where yall come in). I've read so many conflicting things and I know if i change too much at once, it will end up being counterproductive b/c I wont know what started losing again whenever i do..

DO I?

1) continue w/ my exercise program, change it up in terms of duration, intensity, add more HIIT and intervals than before and continue with the same type full body strength training routine, aiming to lose fat, but not lose muscle? this will probably lead to some muscle loss and then i work to tone and rebuild AFTER the lbs are gone??

2) change up my whole program - do 4x circuit training, 2x pilates, 1x yoga but focus more on weights, with shorter cardio cycles and build muscle which supposedly will eventually 'burn the fat' away?

3) drop my calories back down lower again? I'm hesitant to do this as maintenance right now is at 2100 so eating 1700 causes 400 cal deficit w/o my exercising included..

4) any other ideas?????????????

thanks so much for your advice/thoughts and sharing!
