how to reset your metabolism with excersize and food?

Hey Laura question, this lady that I know said she had a friend that had gastric by pass and when she lost all her weight that her vagina was hanging about mid thigh. Do you think that is even possible. My friend said it was because she lost alot of weight and lost it fast.

The one thing I like about the elliptical is that they don't make noise! I might check those out too!

Ha! My ellyptical makes a ton of noise, but it is also a dinosaur nearly 20 years old. It is time to send it out to pasture...

[leeann71 539]

Lmao I think we might be doing ok, we are losing the weight slower. Stay away from the chips they put dimples in your butt. Girl I am going to bed on that note lol. I hope I dont have a nightmare about that. Good night chica ttyl.

Hey GT. I'm sorry that ur in such a place. That must be frustrating as hell. Did u lose the 3-4 pounds that u gained, or are u still up? Secondly, I'm curious about the food that ur eating. I bounced from 128-131 off and on for about 4.5 months. Until recently I was eating crap food but still staying under 1200 or so cals- sometimes it'd be more. On Sunday I started the 12 week challenge and I chose to eliminate most processed food (including Protein bars). Even with this I'm still hitting 98 grams of Protein and my carbs are a little under 200. Here's the kicker- I've been losing like crazy. I've dropped three pounds since then. It's crazy. I've been eating lots of fruits, veggies, and lean meat. So my point is I'm still eating the same cals, but the food is really different. I hope things work out for u.

my food choices are limited - I'm deployed. Im working my way up to 1500 cals but am currently at about 1100, up from 750. I eat tuna, sardines, green salad, green apples, Protein Bars, oranges, milk, chicken, trout, steak but none of that is on a daily reliable basis. I just ran out of Protein powder.

@ MickeyDies - I had my thyroid checked about 4.5 years ago and I think they said I would eventually develop Hashimotos?? But frankly this was a podunk endocrinologist in MO and I'll get a second opinion, maybe if I go on R&R. Where you born without a thyroid? I started exhibiting signs of thyroid malfunction by the time I was 15, but we were too ignorant to figure it out.

Me too! I love my elliptical. Treadmills hurt my knees with the pounding' date=' but my elliptical is smooth with good resistance and incline. Burn baby burn![/quote']

It was a splurge for me at over 1500 bucks but I love all the 20 different resistance and 20 incline levels on mine. I can work hard but knees aren't paying the price.

Yes, I splurged on mine too. I actually got mine for $2k--on sale! But it was worth every penny. It's quiet, many different options and programs, many different levels of resistance and incline, fits in a corner, out of the way, and I use it for my morning and evening workouts (45-50 minutes). I've lost a good amount of weight on it and I have begun to tone up my thighs. No regrets with my purchase.

Sigh, remember when this thread used to be about resetting your metabolism with diet and exercise? Remember when a person could post here regarding that, and expect a good response that wasn't about treadmills??

Lol, we do need to get back on the topic. Sorry for leading it astray. I got a book this morning from the library about metabolism. Its called" The Metabolism Advantage" by John Berardi, PhD,CSCS. Only problem is its on mens health. Hopefully it can also help women. Its gonna take a little bit to read, when I m finished I will report back on what it says to do.

On men's health?? That's sexist! I wonder if the same principles apply??

I'm starting to get a lot of push back from friends and family regarding the TDEE and the IIFYM, and I don't feel educated enough on the science of why this is any more efficacious or healthful than the extreme low calorie. One nit picker had issues with the IIFYM website itself, finding it dubious and unprofessional - his words, not mine. As far as the proof being in the pudding, I have been strength-training focused for 3 weeks now, 2 weeks of IIFYM, and I am *up* 3 pounds* so, not feeling the love from this method yet.

*susan* (admin) stated in an old post regarding this exact topic that it took 6 weeks of increased caloric eating before her metabolism started working in her favor. And like you her weight climbed a few pounds before it turned the corner and dropped. Perhaps she will be kind enough to repost the content from her old post because it really does appear helpful in your situation.
